Thanks LD, that was our conclusion as well. After the magnet I put it to the grinder and the sparks were enough to convince me that it was steel.

When I kindly took the item back to the store they were very apologetic. We were able to find an actual needle bearing that size (.002 smaller - outside diameter) which is a much better fix IMO. They sold it to me for 1/2 off which was fair to me.

Thanks
