It fits on top of the bearing. Over time the bearing can wear an indent  
into the plastic, which is also a part of the bearing. Lubricate upon assembly 
 with WD-40.

Thanks  Rummy. There is a black plastic dowel about 5" cut in half and 
drilled
that  fits in the furler tube secured by screws. The little ball in question
was  sitting below this. I wonder if the black plastic thing turns on top  
of
this or if it should somehow be inside the  plastic.
