          A good many of them are within the US and offer free shipping too.

            ..........a local bearing house supplier should be able to reference the mumbers, or cross-reference numbers. IIRC, yamaha's patent ran out so other supplyers are stocking them now{that size is used in other applications}. May be worth checking out.

              Yes but first you need to remove the races INTACT to get the numbers off them and these kits are the only place to get new seals I know of.

                Thanks everyone, Do I need a bearing press or can I tap the new races in with a punch and hammer. Any thoughts?

                  You can use a hammer to get them in and out. The bottom one you have two SMALL notches to push the bearing out with. It's sometimes VERY HARD to see them unless you really clean out the inside of the neck. I use the old race, grind the edge a little so it slips in and out, to press the new bearing in place.

                    The top one is pretty easy to get out, the bottom one is a bitch.

                    The easiest way I've found to get that lower race out is cut it with a dremmel cutting wheel as far through as you can. It will most likely crack along the cut and then it'll almost fall out. It's really hard to get a good bite with a punch to knock it out otherwise.
