If you've only lost a couple then they'll be fine. Just bang it all back together  :daumenhoch:

IMO only do this if your not planning on riding it.
Mybe get youself some cheap digital callipers, I got a set from Aldi or Lidl for less than a tenner. Measure the bearings and get some new ones. Or pop into your LBS with one of the old ones and see what they have in the parts bins :daumenhoch:
