I thought your comment was constructive. I hope @wired will address it specifically.When I was trying to figure out what bearing it was, I came across a post of someone that took his chuck apart and mentioned one of the races was stuck to the housing due to a build up of gunk. You may have a race that is stuck and looks like the housing is the second race, but it actually is a separate piece.
Looks like it does have a back race in there. It also looks like it doesn't want to move. Gonna try a little heat on it tomorrowI thought your comment was constructive. I hope @wired will address it specifically.
The pieces are in plastic bags making it difficult for us to see the condition of the races. If they are ok, might @wired replace the balls and assemble the bearing if a new one is made of unobtainium?is that a new type of bearing... supply your own balls? Those races don't look very nice.
Theyre fine. Im thinking about just picking up some 1/4 balls and running it. I dont have a lot of faith in ATS at this point to make me whole and balls I can get.The pieces are in plastic bags making it difficult for us to see the condition of the races.

I have most of a package of 0.25” balls from McMaster left after replacing the balls in one of my chucks, if you let me know how many you need, I’ll send them for the cost of shipping.Theyre fine.
