I had a bearing out on one of the idlers on my trailfire, I just cut the metal on one side so I could push the bearing out and put a new one in, not the prettiest but works fine.

The bearings used in the idler wheels are metric, thus the need for the reducer bushings. The bearing OD is 52mm, the ID is 25mm, and 15mm wide. These are commonly known as a 6205 bearing, and are available from most sled parts suppliers.

The reducer bushings are also commonly available as well. Here's an example:

For this application, I think you need just the small dia bushing.

As mentioned in the FAQ, the rivets are available from Mc Master Carr, or Wicks Aircraft. They are 3/16" dia X 1/2" long, with a low profile domed head.
