I do stock the bearings David but they are $12 each which x 6 is not cheap.
Mine are the RS version.

Tower Hobbies has a shedload of bearings all sorts of sizes and grades for small projects like this.

Here's an example:

Don't see any marked 8x12x10, though. What's the "10" for again? There's quite a few 8x12 listed, but they leave the last measurement off.

Soak in turpentine, kerosene, diesel or gasoline?

Brilliant link! They had exactly what I was looking for...Thanks! Turns out it was the RS version that was in the car. I included a photo for those interested.

Never got a chance to look at these guys since I found what I needed via Rob's link, but thanks for the link.

Given that arm doesn't have to hold vacuum, I'd go without the seal.

HK0810 vs. HK0810RS
Turns out its the RS version. Unclear why a seal is required, but thats what I went with.

One way to get these out is to get a 6 or 7 mm 1/4" drive socket to use as a ram, and an 11 or 12 mm socket to act as a spacer, then sandwich the throttle arm with the 2 sockets in your vice and use the small socket as a ram to push the bearing out and into the hollow of the big socket.
Thanks for the tip. My smallest bearing puller head was too large for these bearings so it was a no go. The socket method worked well. With a little care the six were out in about 5-6 minutes. Much appreciated!

Might just try a few of these options with a pulled bearing to see the outcome
