i ordered the bottom bearing as well from grainger

BL

Radial Ball Bearing, Double Sealed, 0.7500" Bore Dia., 2.0000" Outside Dia.
Item # 35JC54

Price $9.90 / each

that blue piece of plastic that comes out of the bottom of the column that holds the bearing is about 4 inches long. it is very specific to this column and is almost a 150 bucks if you can find it....the new bearing goes into that plastic sleeve instead of the old one. slightly differntly and i will take pictures when i get the bearing

i am going to do the same thing for ten bucks.

that bearing kit for the bottom is over 80 bucks shipped is includes things you dont need.

i will post my results next week when i get them and me and my neighbor put it back together.
