I have been warned off the sleeves sold by various parts houses to do this job, so I went to my local bearing supply, and couldnt find an equivalent roller bearing inner sleeve size. the closest I got was a 2 1/16 "dia outer but it is only 1.5" long, not 2 1/4 " as required.

two Questions..

has anyone used the sleeves available thru Macs, etc? are they properly made and hardened?

If there is anyone who has deciphered a bearing part no. to these parts so i could order a reputable bearing locally,could you let me know it?

Its Kinda hard down here to get this stuff, and ordering just a pair of the sleeves from America gets expensive.
