Thanks, my fault!!!!! I was too afraid I was going to break/mangle something and when I hit resistance on one side, I assumed that there was no way that the ball would slip out of the slot. My mistake. It required some force to get the spring to "compress", but it slipped out with some effort.

thanks for not making fun of me, at least not in the posts! smile
