    Why are you replacing them? You can buy precision balls in almost any size. Do you know the size of the balls? Actually replacing them shouldn't be to difficult other than chasing tiny balls around the workbench.

    Well I bit the bullet and took one bearing apart allready....it was easy except chasing the tiny things around the bench...

    I bought used rails and cleaning and greasing them didn't work so I figured I would "fix" it...

    That is what was needed and I will be ordering some more ball bearings...one is actually missing a few
