For those of you not familiar with ball screws, the balls are not hard to
change, but try to get an accurate count when you take the old ones out.
There is deliberately a lota of space between the balls so they don't bind up.

the other "heads up" is that the balls alternate between full size and
slightly undersized so the ones forced to roll backward by adjacent balls
rolling forward are small enough to minimize friction. I'm talking a few
tenths here, not a whole thousandth.

Pay attention to the lubrication procedures for your particular ball screw.
