HELP !! Bearing smashed

I had a squeaky rear wheel, thinking it was the shoes I took the wheel off. The bearing race was smashed and all the little balls dropped out.  So I stuck them in with greas (minus the race) and added a few more from another (propper) bearing I had, the balls were the same size.  I ended up putting 12 in leaving space or 1/2 or 1 ball.

Will this be ok or am I screwed ?

Cheers

Thanks Martin,
Will I be OK with twelve till the meet ?

Umpa

well it got me to work ok on 12 so I guess it's enough. Wheel stopped squeaking to so it must have been the wheel not running true that was causing it.

Panic mode over LOL.

Thanks.
