My auto mechanic friend was telling me that the way they reload
recirculating ball steering units (ball screws) is to remove the feeder tube
and start dropping balls in one end of the nut and rotate the shaft slightly
to pull the balls around. I have no experience with this and hopefully
remembered the procedure correctly.

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?
