Series Swivel Balls need replacement

[enovey]

My 65 IIA swb is in need of new swivel balls. I have been looking into having the surface of the originals re done also. My question is, what is the part number/name of the "things" that are pressed into the two round holes located on the top and bottom of the swivel balls? Do these come already pressed in a set of new swivel balls? Should I just buy a new set of swivel balls?
Thanks for any help in advance

you should just buy the new ones and get it over with ,try pricing <www.dap_inc.com> the bottom is a bearing, which you will have to remove the race and reinstall it in the new ones,the top is a railco bush which you will have to remove and reinstall them too, providing they are tight and have shimming ability left, if not you might as well replace them too, also you will have to remove the half shaft bearings and reinstall them too, and dont forget to get seals and gaskets.....

FYI, there is a great step by step article on replacing the swivel balls in LRO this month. Lots of photos and detailed description.
