Need help finding bearing for HS-5065MG

[Montana]

I can't believe this isn't a more common question. The output gear on my 5065MG was stripped but the replacement gears don't come with a new bearing. So I did some research and people say to take the bearing off the old gear and put it on the new gear. Well, that didn't work, and I can't find a new bearing for it. I found Hitec's "universal" bearing but it is 6x10x2.5mm and I measured the pieces of the bearing I took out and it was (~5.75)x8x2mm.

Can anyone tell me where I can get replacement bearings for the HS-5065MG servo?

- if a new bearing is required use MR85, as per attached specification sheet.

MR85 is the correct bearing. Thanks, A.T. It took a bit of effort to get the new bearing on. Heating the bearing didn't help. I finally pushed it on using a 7/32" nut driver.

I need to find a more economical source of output gears for these servos. They're the only gear that seems to strip so I'm accumulating quite a collection of the other gears.

BTW, Hitec's "universal" bearing isn't. It doesn't fit these servos.
