The 1/4" ball bearings go into the hub from the inside.
The groove in 29 let's the ball bearings fall into it when 29 is depressed by the proper wheel nut socket, then letting the wheel nut spin off. If 29 isn't depressed, the wheel nut will not get past the ball bearings.
Not sure why it's not letting me post pictures on this thread, but if you go into my t94 build In the BOSS section, I have a picture of the hub disassembled as well as the parts breakdown.
