    The ball is threaded. Unscrew it. Carefull drilling out the brass sleeve the drill bit will want to grab.

        Unscrew the ball. I used a paper towel and pliers. If you want to pull the sleeve out you might be able to tap it out with a punch but I drilled mine with a drill bit.

          And the "dice" should unscrew too.
