I need to reassemble the springs and bearings of the Capresso Infinity burr grinder

SOURCE: do the ball bearings in a Capresso Infinity

I just took mine apart. The ball bearings go on top of the springs.

SOURCE: Hmm, I have Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder #560,

I've posted this in a few other places on this site (there are many ways to ask the same question), but try putting the clear bean container back on and untwisting as if to unlock it -- the problem isn't just that we put the upper burr in upside down, but then we locked it into place with the bean container. More info at http://www.fixya.com/support/t4009992-upper_burr_stuck_upside_down or try Capresso at 800.220.5701.

The manufacturer never made any parts available means the manufacturer never released any exploded views either. No need to create/publish parts diagrams if no parts are going to be sold. Sorry.

As far as your lost ball bearing, you may be most successful at a bicycle store. They commonly handle loose ball bearing and, if they are good, should be able to measure one for you and sell you a replacement. Most hardware stores only sell bearings that are sealed or in a set (cage). Most autoparts stores are also limited to cage bearing sets.

Good luck getting it back together. However, if it needed to be taken apart and the manufacturer views the product as "disposable" (since they don't sell parts), then you might want to limit your anger and losses and just buy a replacement grinder.
