This describes a 1610 nut plus a good video for repacking;

yep cheers eddy, watched this and a similar one. I`ve no problem re packing it, its just at the last circuit there`s a big gap left, this nut hasn't been used yet and I needed to turn it around so I decided to strip it and on counting the balls thought 50 is a strange number so that's why I `m asking
well mine ended up with 51 total, 17 in each circuit.
I thinking that should be right and mine has one missing, it felt ok and still feels ok now I`ve turned it, it was just an observation as I noticed the wipers looked like they`ve been in and out before, I think I`ll have a root about at work tomorrow and see if I can find any.
Maybe these are the ones ?

linearmotionbearings2008 (Chai) is one of the most used Chinese suppliers for this forum I think. Quality seems consistent with the price but I have not used any other similar products for comparison.Quote:

Strangely you sometimes have to log into ebay.com to see the listings.
Thanks.Quote:

Thanks eddy,yes I use toolstation for a few things because of price and proximity.I can now confirm that a 1605 ball nut has 17 ball per circuit as does a 1610,no idea why mine had one missing,it happens.I think i'll be using Wurth lithiun grease as i've a big tub of it from when I use to work for them(a sample,honest)again thanks for all the info.just putting finishing touches to a siegsuper x2 with help from Clive on the electrics and hope to post report soon,its only taken 6months or so..as it does:-S
Baz: You're so kind but you forgot the morel support and the and the banter. :cheerful: ..Clive
Sorry to dredge this old thread up but does anyone know how many balls there should be in a SFU2010? I've had a little mishap with one of mine.
The combination of fat fingers, eyesight that's not quite as good as it was, and an ever-shortening attention span has meant that dispite my best efforts the nut will travel fine in one direction but binds up in the other. I didn't count the balls as I repacked them as I assumed I had contained them all but it's looking likely that I may have dropped a ball!! :whistle:
