I was going to write 'Why bother?' Then I saw that new bearings are
$80/ea at Moss. Still, I don't think I'd trust a race that has had ball
bearings forcibly removed and replaced, but--theoretically--I don't
think the balls would escape if you could get them back in properly.
But, given the hassle of replacing these bearings I think I'd spring for
new.

Has anyone replaced the individual ball bearings by removing
each ball from the cage and replacing with new balls in a good
cage? My measurements are 1/4" balls? Sound correct? Can't see
why it wouldn't be possible. I realize the entire bearing cages
are available, and I also need to replace one race. </div>
