Need a couple bearings for idler wheels etc.

Dealer ok, or do they rape ya for em?
 
Any bearing shop will be able to supply you with them but if you don't live in a area that is heavily industrial you might be waiting for them a bit. I would simply just go to the dealer, sure you may pay a bit more but you will get them, you will know they fit and no worries.

Sometimes it pays to pay a bit more at your local dealer instead of jumping around in circles to save a few dollars. Time is money whether some want to admit it or not. The dealer would be the quickest way for this.
 
I'll buy bearings I don't even need to see a hottie!

Yes, I did end up cutting these off.
 
Just take the bearing number to any autoparts store....and don't buy the cheap $4 bearings.

What he said^^^^^. Most places like Napa will carry them, bearing part #'s are pretty simple. I get mine from Royal Distributing in Ontario, super cheap compared to the dealer and you can buy the NTN blue ones. Search them on the web, probably could have them at your door in 4 days. My stuff is usually to Calgary in about 5. I picked up a couple spares from Princess Auto in case I gotta change one on the trail, they would last a weekend in a pinch but they are the cheap ones like Winter Brew is talking about, so I wouldn't run them for much longer than that. I think I paid $0.68 each for them.
 
Go to a bearing house or something like motion industries online. You will need the bearing number. You can pick up a good bearing like a timken for the same price the autoparts stores sell chinese crap. Look up bearings in the phone book. If you don't like Timken, they are good to talk to and not the 14 yr old snot nose in the autoparts strore.
