    I found that if you stick a large magnet on the ballnut then the balls stick to it inside... less messy than using grease/oil. Then put a bar/tube that's no greater than the pitch diameter minus diameter of ball inside the nut and screw it on as normal. Might be a good idea to demagnetise it afterwards.

    It's the RM1204's that are tricky
