    CHINESE BALL SCREWS- HOW TO RE-LOAD?

    Hi-
    I have an early model Shopmaster Patriot with acme lead screws. I bought some Chinese ball screws on E-Bay, but I need to take the ball nut off and turn it around 180 degrees on one. I'm not sure how to re-load the balls into the nut. These ball nuts have seals on each side and 3 plastic buttons spaced about 120 degrees apart - I'm wondering if this is where you would re-load the balls.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't have a direct link, but there is a really good video on YouTube showing how its done. Not something you can easily describe it hour seeing it!

    Just search for ballnut repack or similar words.
