Some of the American bearings can be a hard to locate, an idler pulley bearing collapsed on my 6.5 Chevy diesel van a short while ago, non of my local bearing specialists could help me with the size, they said it was a right oddball size and non of the numbers made sense to them, I reluctantly ended up having to buy the complete idler assembley with tensioner eek

Bearings in a GMC 71 series rootes blower are a fairly common size.

I have however had to source a bearing that had the O/D measured in inches and the I/D in millimeters - that was fun!
