Default Cv intermediate shaft bearing

Does anyone have any info on the bearing for the cv intermediate shaft bearing for a 2002 Saturn sl automatic?

https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-intermediate-shaft-21013354?c=bD0xJm49U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM%3D



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
https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-bearing-19244937.html?vin=&make=Saturn&model=SL&year=2002& submodel=&extra1=&extra2=&filter=()

19244937

But it has been discontinued.

Making progress, at least. Lol

That bearing does not want to cross to a common bearing easily. The S car guys may have more insight.

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
