Hi Bob; In the past, several posts have mentioned sending the AM wheel sets to NWSL so they could be certain that they matched the axle length and diameter (which seem to vary between batches of the same locomotive model). I suspect they would transfer the bearing for you, but calling them to be sure of the current process would the way to go.
