This is the part number for the intermediate shaft (21013354), but I'm having trouble finding a replacement, so I'm trying for find a compatible bearing to press in, if I can, but I'm not finding any information about it online.
I'd like to avoid pulling a used one, since I'm not a huge fan of reusing old bearings, if I can.
Edit:
Talked to gmparts.com support, and it looks like the bearing is this

But it has been discontinued.
Making progress, at least. Lol

I pulled mine because I had a vibration. The bearing was somewhat worn but not bad. I pressed the shaft out of the housing then pressed the bearing out of the housing. I found an old post on Saturnalia by I believe "old nuc" but not sure, he had photos and disassembly of the intermediate shaft and a bearing part number. If you are a mechanic it's actually pretty easy to see once you get it out of the vehicle. Also the bearing pressed out quite easily. Most machine shops should be able to get the bearing out and measure and order the correct bearing and reinstall. I will try to find the post. If not I will look at my orders and see if I can find the bearing number.
Sorry, no luck on the post or part numbers. It's been at least 4 to 5 years ago. I know the bearing and seal were easily found at the part stores. Opt for a good bearing, either timken or skf or a good American made bearing. I have gone through a few cheap Chinese bearings in my wheel bearings until I wised up and only bought good quality bearings. It's worth the extra money! Nick
