The bearing is readily available, as I think it is a standard water pump bearing. I replaced mine a couple of years ago. You will need a good sized press. If someone else has the number, perhaps they can post it; otherwise I'll spend some time finding it.

EDIT : Found it. Thanks to "Ross F-1" on this forum. "The bearing is an NSK 885586 'water pump bearing'. Cost was $20. It is physically identical except that it has an extra-long shaft sticking out of both ends. The shaft is made with special steel so it can be trimmed to fit without carbide tools."
