Needless to say this is a giant pain in my rear. It is proving near impossible for me, with my rather large hands, to pack the ball nut on my X-Axis due to the 12mm OD end machining on these linearmotionbearings2008 parts.
I just brought in some spare 6" RM1605 stock and I was planning on drilling out the center of it to a little over 12mm, packing it on the 6" piece, then sliding that over the machined portion...hopefully spinning the nut right into place after.
But...the machines here suck and they aren't up to the task so I am thinking of bringing it to a local machinist or having Chai send me a screw with that feature drilled already.
I am hoping you guys can help me come up with a solution or let me know if I am on the right track with my crazy idea.
Thanks!
