Thank you for the hints so far.
I now have a Yoke and the three point unit is on its way.
Does anybody know where to get the hard hollow pins please? The bearings are fairly universal based on the numbers on the seals and bearings.
What are your opinions on fitting a grease point if it is possible? E.g. nipple or removable bolt @ say 3 or 4mm then grease could be pumped in using a rubber glove finger as a seal between pointy nozzle and hole?
If you want genuine, then try a dealer
Part number will be listed on this page, or navigate on the site to your bike 
Simply bearings are a copany with good reputation for supplying standard bearings, seals etc, I have used them several times and they have always given good service.
Sorry, Iâve no experience of the Norge to offer advice on fitting a grease nipple etc, it sounds like a good idea so long as it doesnât introduce a stress point into the casting.
When i had a CARC i briefly looked at fitting grease points to the bearings.
Easiest from outside but as the needle rollers come with a complete outer race it was hard to see where the grease could get in to the bearing.
If i had the tools/skills running a greaseway down the bolts and out through the collars would seem best. But i had/have neither those skills not those tools 
Thank you for pointing me this way. They are hardened sleeves I would have had a problem with that.

Thank you for the info.
Very useful, thank you.
Am servicing the Connecting rod - rear shock knuckle. I notice there is only one âTâ bush on the spares list above. Mine is fitted to to the outside but the diagram suggests to me this should be from the inside. There certainly appears to be enough room. If it is not fitted from the inside then there is a large gap for you know what to get in there. Advice please.
The âT bushâ - 10 on the diagram goes into the swing arm from the inside to support the hex screw that links the âdouble conrodâ =3 on the diagram to the swing arm.
Thank you, mine is on the outside on dismantling and I could not believe that to be correct.
Much appreciated.

The âTop-Hatâ Bush fits into the L/H Lug of the Mounting, the Extended Head of the Bolt then tightens up against the R/H end of the Inner Sleeve of the Bearing, pulling it against the Bush.
the Head of the Bolt is a sliding fit in the R/H Lug.
The Inner Sleeves are Bike-specific, Iâve not found any aftermarket alternatives, yet.
On mine, I used the âgenericâ Inner Sleeves that Simply Bearings stock, but as they have a much larger Inner Diameter, and only come in a couple of lengths, I had to machine up some Alloy Adaptors to use them.
As for Grease Nipples, they can be fitted easily enough, but you have to place them accurately, to feed the Grease in-between the two pairs of side-by-side Bearings, and between the Seals and the Bearings, for the single Bearings.
You also need to drill some tiny (<1mm) holes to allow the old Grease to escape when youâre pumping fresh stuff in, otherwise youâll just dislodge the Seals, even a mediocre Grease Gun can generate several hundred psi pressure.
The holes are sealed by the grease drying out in them, and need to be positioned as far away from, and diagonally opposite the Grease Nipples, so the Fresh Grease covers as much of the Bearing Surfaces as possible.
I did a few early on, but donât bother any more.
As itâs so easy to strip them down, I just strip, clean and re-grease them at every other Service, that way you can inspect them, and can be sure theyâre fully Greased all over.
I also modified a few Swing-Arm Spindles, so the Swing-Arm Bearings can be greased in-situ, but again, as itâs such an easy job to strip and clean them, Iâd recommend doing that.
A Grease exit hole on one side of a Double-Bearing, Nipple situated opposite, in the centre between the two Bearings.
Modified Spindles for the Swing-Arm.
The Adaptors I machined up to use the generic Inner Sleeves.
The Link is the one I made to fit a BMW S1000R Shock to my Stelvio.
I managed to fit the Stelvio Spring to it, along with the Stelvioâs Hydraulic Pre-Load Adjuster Assembly.
Just needed a different Collar machined up for the Base of the Spring Retainer.
The S1000R Shock has separate Comp & Rebound Damping Adjusters.
