Almost all bearings are measured in metric and coded. The code is laser or acid etched into the race. Understanding the code helps make bearing selection easy.
Example:http://www.bearing-king.co.uk/images...re-bearing.jpg
The bearing type design that you need is a single row deep groove ball bearing with the following dimensions and suffix.
d = 25mm
D = 52mm
B/T = 15mm
Result = 6205
The bearing also has a seal either side of the bearing.
2RS1 = 2 Rubber seals
2RSR = 2 Rubber seals
DDU = 2 Rubber seals
2Z = 2 Metal shields
ZZ = 2 Metal Shields
Result = 6205 2RS1

Make sure u don' t overtighten the spanner nut just get it past the hole enough to get the cotter pin back in. Too tight will smoke your new bearings

Mike can you change out the whole hub. I did that to mine got them from Northern tools. Napa has the bearings to fit them.

I bought a complete hub-in-a-box kit from Bass Pro, everthing you need to fix it up on the roadside ( except spindle...lol ) i haul it every where i go, just in case. I like that it comes in a neat little plastic carry box.
