If it is a Pickering governor, the balls are made in two halves with a stud connecting them in the center. It's kind of tricky, but all that needs to be done is to unscrew the outer halves of the balls. Hope this helps you out!

Tex If you have a Gardner Governor the Balls are held on by babbit. Send them to me, I have the Jig to hold them straight. Paul
