Funny to see this, I had done the BB on my High Sierra (which has this type BB) the night before you posted this info. Which way did you orient the bevel on the plastic ring when you put yours back together? Facing in - towards the bearing balls, or facing out - towards the crank arm? Only way, seemingly, I could get the bearing balls back in was with the bevel facing in towards the bearing balls.
Haven't put it back in service yet, being not that familiar with this type want to make sure I got it back together right.
