first thing is to remove the bearing - even cheap china bearings follow the standard and the number for it is on the edge under what you cant see installed

I would go to a bearing supplier and have them get you a double metal shielded bearing as it keeps the steel fragments out but lets oil in

if you run a belt drive get the rubber shields on the bearing you can remove them and put aircraft landing wheel bearing grease in them if you want

USA or any hi end bearing - the guy will tell you whats good and whats not

I found one at a local bearing shop for much less than online.
