Steve, you haven't mentioned drive size or if your ratchet is a round head or flat. No matter really. Youtube is full of teardown & repair videos. With SK having been recently bought by the Chinese you might have trouble finding an original repair kit, but aftermarket kits exist..

Glen, that's a coincidence...my 1st set of metric sockets are also Japanese, bought from a now defunct yamaha/honda dealer back in the 60's. Still have the sockets and the metal tray they came in. "Truecraft" again...7-19mm no skips. Then price still written on the tray..$6.95. Thinking I must have bought the ratchet at the same time. Memories of my Yamaha dirt bike years...
