Default optispark bearing price & avalibility?

I have a ac delco optispark with less than 10k on it with .012 of slop in the bearing I would like to rebuild it for a spare. and cannot locate just the bearing ( NTN SXO3A49LUACS25) I was wondering if any one else had luck with this tried a google and a bearing house no dice

From what I understand, trying to do a "home rebuild" on an Opti is a bit of a crapshoot. The reason is because the shaft, which locates the optical wheel, has to be pressed back on EXACTLY in the correct position, and that is rather difficult to get right.

so perhaps one of those cheap $80 craptisparks off ebay and just use the base and install my ac delco optic trigger and cap n rotor. kinda sucks I did not even get 10k outa the gm part. thats why I went MSD Pro billet but even those dont last forever: but under 10k from a gm unit does not sit well
