Not that I recall, just get a jar of Vasoline to hold the needle bearings 
in place when assembling & be careful not to lose any when taking apart (on 
top of an old bedsheet is a good idea). Once rebuilt one into a crash box 
on the back of a car trailer when someone we all know had made it 
thoroughly ex in practice. Lasted for the race.
