Default Bearing Replacement

I needed to replace a rough control bearing on my Ximango SN 161 on the aileron bellcrank arm (part # 27163) These bearings have an MS part number 27643-3 in the Ximango Parts Manual but no part number is listed for the cap used on this and at many other control points.
The bearing has a cap placed on both sides giving a finished look and appeared to be single use and pressed on from both sides.
It was not possible to remove the cap without being unable to re-use it.
I was able to then press out the old bearig and replace it with a good interference fit and had my IA inspect the work.
I contacted Chuck Cheeseman and he is looking into getting me some replacement cap assemblies. He hadn't heard of anyone replacing these bearings.
Has anyone needed to replace these?
