Repair broken bearing

I took apart my bed in order to straighten everything out. When I went to slide the bearings back together, a ball jumped out of one of the bearings. Now there's a grinding sound. How do I repair the bearing?

Re: Repair broken bearing

Repairing the bearing is not really something that is possible. The ball bearing may be able to be pressed back into the groove, however it is much easier to just replace the bearing in these situations. New ones can be sourced very cheaply, or you can opt in for the higher quality bearings from more well known manufacturers, with better build quality and that operate quieter.

Re: Repair broken bearing

in the short term, , try rotating the bearing so that the missing ball is at the bottom. not the top of the bearing.
