Recently went to two of the local bearing and  seal places here in denver
co.  left the stuff at both places.  For one of my items that I needed the
bearings and seals for I ordered a kit at about 1/2 the price.  For the
other item I went to harbor freight and bought the Chinese replacement.
The replacement was only ten bucks more than a bearing and two seals.
