I know what you're thinking when you read my title, but it's not what you think. I have a 5/8" Roton Ball Nut and some of the balls fell out when threading it on to my ball screw even though I used the little cardboard tube insert. The blokes as Roton said a few balls won't make a difference, but 3 balls seems too much. So what's the easiest most painless way to get balls back into the ball nut.    |

| Simple, get a pie tin and pull the external ball run from nut, using pie tin to catch, insert all the balls with nut on screw and all you may have to do is vasaline the loose balls to the ball run and reinstall, make sure that no balls are outside of race but inside of wiper, may be easier to just dump all the balls from nut to the pie tin and have some enjoyment, Happy turkey day
