The bearings are 6207, but there are other bits needed also, seal retainer etc... There are loads of bearings on eBay

Doh ! hello gents, where do i get the square retaining plate as mine seems to be slightly oval.!! and whilst im in full retard mode , does the spacer supplied with my bearing go on first.,? i can't tell because what was left of the old bearing is half way down the axle in a million bits.!
luckily none of it was in the diff !

cheers

Muddyzook sell heavy duty bearing retainers, also sell split ones making bearing changes even easier.

The thin 4mm spacer goes on first, taper to the wheel end of the shaft, then bearing then locking collar.
