On my Savage 21, the clutchbell has two bearings in it, then right where the screw goes on the crankshaft, there's a brass bushing. I remember it going out when I still had my 8 port and I know it's a pain to pull the engine and replace it. Does HPI have make a bearing to replace the bushing? If so, what's the part number?

I have a few things to pick up at the hobby store tomorrow, so i'd like to get everything at once.
 
Damn, I think when the part went out, i looked for bearing it's size but they didn't have any. If it comes to it, i'll just buy the bushing :(
 
The bushing is 5x10x3. It is hard to find a bearing that size. The majority of bearings are 5x10x4. You could try one of those if you want. Just make sure you don't tighten down the locking screw (into the crankshaft) too tight. You want your clutchbell to spin freely and have no friction or binding at all.
