550 tail case bearing sizes (short boom)

[istandalone]

well, after the last few flights on my 550 i've been noticeing a slight squeal on spool up coming from the tail. i had one last flight in last night and then directly after landing i felt my tail case and it was pretty hot. so i'm thinking my bearings are shot. herein lies the problem. i loaned my toolbox to a buddy of mine until this sunday. i've got no tools to pull the bearings out with and measure them. does anyone know of the id/od/thickness measurements of the tail case bearings? this is for a short boom hurri, with a plastic tail case. i looked on readyheli, but they don't specifly which bearing is for what parts. i also considered just getting the cnc tail case, but i don't see readyheli has it? any help is appreciated, as i'd really like to order these bearings before sunday. thanks!

I didn't even know that readyheli had a CNC tail case.. I know helidirect does though... but... they're out of stock.. http://www.helidirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=30_321_322&products_id=5889

my Gaui manual shows the tail bearings as 5x11x4 which is Gaui part number 204563
ready heli has the bearings..

ahh hell, i didn't even think to look in the manual. i thought that readyheli was stocking/selling a cnc tail case made by gaui, at least i heard a rumor that they did. thanks for the info mystic!

I have the CNC tail case from HeliDirect (I think I got the last one) Much better than the plastic Gaui tail case. As far as I know, Gaui doesn't have a CNC tail case yet.
