How to get the balls back in a ballnut?

[motoxy]

I guess we have all done that! First make a cardboard tube, just roll up thin card, to go over the machining on the screw but will fit in the nut with the balls in. I used the magnets but found that thick grease held the balls in better. you will need a small screwdriver with a dab of grease on the end to place the balls inside the nut. When you have all the balls in place gently push in the tube. I rolled the tube up slightly smaller, pushed it in and let it expand. Then slide that sucker on. have fun.
