Mine is the middle one of the 3 ads shown from ebay. Having a lot of trouble removing the bearing from the axle at present.

..do you mean the fully enclosed bearing that normally sits within the circular black casing on the brake side ?

If so , they are a friction fit and I had to get mine removed by a mate who works at a local garage. He used a large "press" , works on the armature bearings as well.

They all sold for not a lot of money, I've seen ones for restoration go for around £200, goes to show you can still get a bargain even though they are getting more rare and desirable.
