I have finished off rebuilding the ballnuts. I ended up doing all three of them and it took me about 20 minutes per nut which wasnt too bad. Fitting them on the ballscrew is a different story. When they screw on they seperate. What I had to do was tighten them together with some large grips and fiddle about with the keyways to get them together. Its a right PITA. They tighten up quite a bit when together and take more effort to move them along the screw but I suppose thats the price to pay for zero backlash. The thing I`m really not impressed with is the end seals. They are made from hard material like nylon and held in place with two pointed grub screws set 180 degrees apart. Its really crappy. I think a softer better fitting rubber material would do a far better job of sealing the bearings and sweeping the screw and would stay in place better. I will try to post a pic later to let you see what I mean.
