Fortunately, those bearings are still commercially available, and are metric series so may even be available there. If not, I can get them from NAPA.

Wheel bearing damage is almost always because of excess axle end play --the usual long-term failure mode. You'll want to check that carefully at reassembly.

A machine shop with a tall press can get the bearing off and on. There must be one at your work?? I usually heat the new bearing on my coffee cup warmer to ease installation.
