The bad part is I don't know how to remove the new bearings and save

when you take the housing and bearings off the shaft. So... even if I
find a good replacement ballscrew I'll wind up having to chase down
another set of bearings too.

If you're going to junk the old ballscrew anyway, just machine away
enough to let you get the good bearings off.



That's not a bad idea. Although I also considered turning the bearing
surface to a smaller more concentric OD and using a bushing. Probably
would re-turn the whole end and make appropriate adjustments including a
different size encoder disc though... or a whole bunch of bushings. LOL.
