On mine the ball bearings came out of the grooves. I took the pieces out of the door and after several attempts with a vise I managed to get everything back together. The reason I say several attempts is that the spring is a strong one when compressed between the thickness of the ball bearings. The suckers flew out of the vice like bullets. After I got it together I greased it substantially with Lubri-Plate wheel bearing grease. It is now smooth, quiet, and you can feel the detents when you open the door.
