Just to sew up this thread, I ended up getting a NOS bearing off ebay and its going to work just fine. However, I pressed it on my carrier ring side to discover that at some point the bearing has spun on the carrier and the fit is too loose. Some mechanic had already tried striking the race and that didn't work. I found a NOS carrier on ebay and that is on its way. Funny how a simple seal job has turned into a full rebuild! So it goes.
