Answer 1

Contact a shop that sells bearings for just about any thing. I think they can help.Have you checked with a marina? May get used ones!!

Answer 2

I had the same problem and i went to Buddybearing .com You will need to know your exact ID for the new bearing protector.

DO NOT TRY TO MODIFY if you do you may end up replacing the hub!
