IIRC, *** and SKE are OEM. Autohausaz, PureMS, Bluaparts, etc. should all carry them.

I would just give Carson, at Riverside an email to get the bearing and collar bolt. This way your insured a reasonable quality level, as well as the correct parts associated with your vin.
You might consider having the factory service manual handy for procedure and torque specs. I would also put the bearing into the freezer overnight and keep it there right until installation. Make sure the hub housing is exceedingly clean and free of debris and corrosion. I like to wipe the clean surface of the press surface of the hub with a very light oil as a lubricant upon pressing the bearing in. Do not, under any circumstances let that bearing cant upon installation. It will quickly and certainly reduce the lifespan by half easily.

Buy good bearings and take it to a good shop. I am all for DIY, but from my experience, it's not even worth getting dirty to do, same goes for exhaust work.
