Most drive the bearings out and replace them with some sort of plastic, polyurethane or delrin. Any of our parts sponsors can help with that.

where u at in ohio? you could get them from drews off road in hamilton, i used the red polyurethane ones on mine they work ok but ive read other people talk about a different brand that were a different color that were better a better fit cause its pretty hard to get the arms back into the red ones, some say you can grind out the inside of the red ones a bit to fit easier but i just used grease and a big ass hammer!! and if you dont have the zirk grease fittings on your beam , while you have the arms out replacing the "bearings" pack the beam full of grease with a grease gun! hope this helps
