Fantom Wildcat brushroller bearing

[man114]

Anyone got an idea where to get one, perhaps a bearing shop, machine shop? Got another of these and the Vacuum is perfectly fine except for this bearing, it looks like an off the shelf part. I attached a picture, I can always measure it if it would help.

I'd measure the bearing and search for one online. They only ever offered the brush roll as a complete part and they haven't been made in years. You'll have to use a bearing press like I have at work to press the bearing off of the end cap too probably.

I am about 20 miles from a shop that carries all sorts of bearings. I can probably pull the bearing off with two pairs of locking pliers, which does not matter if I need or ruin a bearing. Originality would be nice but I should be grateful to have 3 wildcats.
