Have searched to see if anyone posted solution to this specific problem. The old detent ball is corroded and blackened, making attaching anything to it impossible per the procedure advised by Cotton in other posts such as this...

What other solution is viable? Assume if i drill out the swage, that I would just have to deal with a ball that would get shot across the room if I don't hold it in place when removing the high speed jet.
One other thought was just press in a new ball and leave the old one behind it (if it will fit). I realize this is not optimal but would it work?
Also, what size is the ball bearing for the high speed detent/friction?
Hoping Cotton will see this and weigh in....
Thanks in advance!
