Default C1 Third Arm Bearing Part number?

Does anyone know the bearing part number for a 53-62 STEERING THIRD ARM BEARING? I see two-part numbers 5206 & 5506 on my old one.

After removing the retainer ring will the bearing fall out or is a puller needed?

The number for a BCA bearing is 5206 - KSE that has a single side shield/seal which must be packed with grease. You can also get a double side shielded/sealed bearing BCA 5206 FFH which requires no additional grease. Both are available USA made. My original New Departure bearing also had those two numbers but it goes by the 5206.
