Here's Kirby's numbers for the parts

The rear bearing is part # 1155 (505 - D80)(which is an 87007 bearing)

If you need the front bearing it is part # 1160 (505 - D80)(which is an 87500 bearing)

The bearing puller is part # T127A

I just go over to my local bearing shop and buy them there.

560 bearings

 Lars, Kent's sale says this rear bearing works for models Omega and forward. I wouldn't put that on a 560. Kirby sells a bearing puller (check Kent's store), probably cheaper than the set you have pictured here. I did just try to pull a rear bearing on my 562 and discovered that the armature shaft on these models is thicker than the Kirby bearing puller allows. But before trying to take it off, clean out all of the old grease with something like gasoline and repack. The bearing itself might still be good.
