Good luck, they're made of unobtainium. If some don't show up here in a few days, take the specs to your local machine shop and have some made like I did. Take him your old ones for a pattern.

Best way I found to get these out and in, is to use a threaded rod, with long connecting nuts for more threads. Stainless will last longer. Drive out the plug at the back of the engine, remove the keepers that enter the bearings from the side of the engine, (to keep them from turning) and use a series of washers etc to pull them out and in. Replace the keepers and the plug of course.

The other thing that might work, is to take your old ones out, take them to your mechanic, and have him bore the ID to fit Dale's bearing's ODs, which have the right ID but are much thinner, so the OD is too small.

The ones on eBay won't fit your engine.
