I wonder if magnetising the cups would hold the balls in place? ......................probably not a good idea
im thinking along the lines of a soft shoe polish,it would easily dissolve in white spirit.

Actually, the magnet idea may not be so daft. Could you not use a small ring or disc magnet to hold the cups and balls together for installation?
now thats a bloody good idea! i will give it ago!
id have to ditch the silicon nitride balls in that case and go for chromed balls instead.

Oh. And another thought. When I'm working on something with small parts. I do it on a large tray with raised edges. Saves hunting around on the floor and under furniture for bits that get dropped. I learnt from experience.
been there and got the t-shirt too! regarding the ceramic balls,its all very well having an almost perfect sphere but then the machining on the becomes the weak link. i dont think i need to go all NASA about it,im sure chromed balls are more than acceptable.

Agree, but do get a precision bearing
Geoffs idea of magnetisation is a good one and can easy be demagnetised after installation
On the subject of Vaseline it melts at body temperture 37C so couldn't you use a hair dryer to melt it? or just use grease and remove with meths or alcohol
