When I can turn the shaft back and forth and it takes more than a sixteenth of inch before it engauges I don't need to break out the calipers to know somthing is terribly wrong. My Y axis engauges...

Fair enough if you just had yours redone where did you sent it and about how much was it if you don't mind me asking?

I've heard the same from a few people, Saying when you pull them out the ballbearings fall out and makes a huge mess.

So my thoughts are If I remove the ballscrew with the ballnut attached and...

Update:

Well I lifted the bed today and it was quite a easy process when you have all the right tools.

I have access to the entire Ball Screw and Ball Nut now and I'm trying to get the Ball...
