TRF doesn't really publish a TR2/3 catalog; or to put it another way, they stock a <span style="font-weight: bold">whole bunch</span> of things that are not shown in their "mini" catalog.

The 'real' TRF TR2-3 catalog is the factory parts catalog, which you can download from here
 
How do you know if these are worn out?

I probably should have done mine before reinstalling, didnt even think of it.
 
Same old story, just inspect the surface of the balls. If they are dull or discolored, or you can see any kind of damage, time to replace them.

I've actually done it by carefully prying open the cage and just changing the balls (which are super cheap), but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that.

it's a low speed, moderate load application. As long as they aren't obviously bad (rusted, heavily worn, pitted) I don't fret much over them - but the Morgans I work on tend to have much lower mileage than TR2/3's.....
