i used a magnet for my ball bearings

I would say I was nocturnal but I went to bed right after posting that

Good idea with the magnet Ant, never thought of that before

you know on drill motors theres a little bit of in out movement on the threaded shaft? well on one of the motors when you pull the shaft you can see the bearings inside the gearbox. still safe to use?

had the gear box appart and its the bearing in the end thats gone but imma still use it anyways its only going in my test frame. ohh and its easy to get those ball bearings out by opening up the gearbox and just pushing them out it was just grease holding them in.
