2001 60 HP ELPTO Big Foot follower cam problems

I was putting a seal kit in my 2001 Mercury 60HP ELPTO Big foot motor. When I took my prop shaft out the slide and follower cam fell out, actually shot out. I have ordered a new slide and spring. I found the follower cam and the three ball bearings that also fell out. Why did this happen? How do I put these parts back together? Where do the ball bearings fit? Any help will be appreciated.
 
If you look up your engine serial number on this website and go 2:31 or 2:33 gearcase, propshaft view, you will see where the three ball bearings came from. All part of the shift follower assembly, they actually make a kit to replace those parts.
