Am planning to do this job in the next month or so, where do you guys buy the bearings from?

Are the four o-rings a standard size or a special KTM part?

Bike is a 74.5 250 MX, the plugs that allow you to fill with thick oil have grease nipples fitted, was that a common way to lube, should I go back to oil after the new bearings are fitted?

A full kit from Andre' Horvath.
Comes with new bushing for bearings to run on, o-ring/bearings and end nuts.
