Thanks for all your help!

According to the '92 Parts Manual I have with me, it shows the part as "4531528 - FEEDER, Inter Shaft Inner Oil". It doesn't specify color in the manual but as you can see in the picture below from the one that was in my Spirit, it was gray in color too. Maybe the replacements are now black? Or maybe the same part in the earlier transmissions (A525, A520, A555) were black?

I've seen at least two types (short and long post) and two colors (black and grey). Not sure if one implies the other or why they are different.
The oil feeder, the $2.50 part, p/n 4531528 was used 90-95 in the 523/568 transmission according to the parts catalog. It was labled a cover in the parts catalog when I looked it up today. Where was it used in 94-95? The ES body in europe in the 568 behind the diesel. ES body is european S body van.

OK, got a line on a new one (thanks for the link Fleck!) and also salvaged a black one out of a space case and have another black one in another spare case so I should be ok one way or another...
Sooo, whats the hot ticket to get that bearing out with the trans still in the car? slide hammer?

Slide hammer with that attachment that has ears you can spread out to catch the lip.
Pic of attachment?
The FSM shows the proper part being C-6371. However that does not turn up any good results on google.
C-4660 is the one for the 525 which shows what the 523/568 one should look like. I wonder if it would even work with the larger bearing?

I noticed one big difference between the grey and natural colored plastic feeders from different 568s & 523s is the size of the hole in the center. The grey one is roughly 1/8-3/16" larger diameter. I didn't compare them to any of my 555/520 stash.
I've pulled them out with a small puller with the arms reversed. Normally, I'd put a socket over the oil guide thingy to protect it, but you don't have that problem. Now that i have a slide hammer, I use that. LMK if you need to borrow it.
If i remember correctly, I just use the regular jaws. Now that i think about it, I did have to grind on both my pullers to get the jaws securely behind the rollers. I haven't used the slide hammer in a case where I wanted to save the bearing that I can think of. If I were to do that, I'd probably go back the normal puller/socket method. Bearing and hammers don't mix well. ;)
Hmmmm.. this sounds like its gonna be fun.
Thanks guys!
Well thats the trick.. the bearing *might* be OK but the inner race appears to be stuck in it :o
I got a bearing kit on the way so should be good. What keeps the shaft from walking in like that?
It's been eating aluminum. Do you know why your shaft was walking yet? I've never seen one of those ball bearings (at the front of the shaft) fail. Is the clip on the shaft in front of it intact? Does the bearing support plate seem deformed at all?
Everything *looked* OK but I need to measure stuff...
