You can't. There are no kits.
The bearings are color coded so you need to order from a dealership source and get the appropriate type.
Hope you bought OEM gaskets. Aftermarket "kits" tend to be poor quality, particularly Athena or no name kits.
Good luck
EDIT: checked Partzilla.com and it seems the bearings are not available anymore. You may have to get the PN's and then search ebay. That may be an issue.Last edited by Nessism; 05-28-2021, 05:42 PM.Ed

When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/core/images/smilies/cool.png

One assumes you have done the measurements indicated in the OEM manual starting at section 3-48
just one set I think. and iirc cheap at 7 GBP
This undertaking will cost a great deal of time and money to the extent you may be wise in searching for a machine that died from sitting as a donor engine source.1983 GS 550 LD

Don't assume they are bad. There is a good chance you can reuse them unless something happened to the engine.Ed
