So, if someone momentarily forgot that a screw was left-handed and
twisted it the wrong way, with the result that the nut came off and
spilled all the balls, how would that idiot go about reloading it?
Update: I got it back together by using the cardboard tube to hold the
balls in place, sliding it back just enough to drop them one at a time
into the groove just beyond the little guide tab on the return tube.
There is a little space between the balls, so it appears one may be
missing, however when I counted them after they fell out I had 69, vs
the 67 in the specification. Putting them back in was a tricky enough
operation that I lost count, but I don't think any got lost.
Is it okay for some to be missing? Should I try to get in touch with
tech support at Nook and find out what I'm supposed to have?
