Larry,
There is a needle roller bearing available. I'm not sure what sort of
life they have. I have one I've not yet installed, but all my
installed ones are the bronze type. The bronze type are supposed to
be soaked in a hot oil bath, I think for 24 hours, before they are
installed. I always let them sit overnight submerged in room temp oil
before installing them.
