Actually you were told correctly. The bearings are not sold seperatly (by Honda), and they do come on a new crank. If you look in the classifieds there is a guy in Aus that sells the bearings, but they are way more than $10 so get out your wallet. The next trick is to find somebody who can actually replace the center bearing since its a bit tricky.
