change the arm for second hand with known good baring, far easier than changing the rear baring alone, from what i gather on here anyway.

Yes I had a non VX put on mine, job was delayed as the local motor factor sent the wrong part which they had listed for my omega, since fitting it's now loose but this is a mechanics fault not the bearing, the old one was practically welded in! you did well to remove ok
