Rebuilding SO TML70A ratchet and lost the ball bearing

[doodah man]

I found a rusty snap on 1/4" ratchet at a garage sale this weekend. I got rid of the rust and got it apart. I tried putting it back together this morning and launched the ball bearing (pawl ball) into space. Is there a good way to put these back together without losing your balls in the process?

you can get one of these from snap on, cheap, free shipping.

Well worth the buck or so I paid for it. Makes that circus act of putting the little ball and spring back in pain free!
