Hi Shinobiwan,
Do you have one of those cheap 16-05 China ballscrews it is possible to reload the ballscrew. I have done it a few times to load oversize balls to reduce backlash.
Leave those plastic caps in place. If you turn the nut on the ballscew(either end) one revelution you can pull the outer nylon ring and stuff the balls in that way. I would have de-greased everything before i started and keep them away from anything magnetic/dust. I also find it easier to engage the nut a little when stuffing balls.
You might end up with a few leftover balls. But i havent found that to be a problem.
