What wheel bearings go in my main gear wheels?

I put my Cleveland main gear wheels on my RV-6A 22 years ago. They came with my kit from Van's. I failed to note what bearings were specified for that wheel. I could pull the bearings out and look at them, but thought I would ask, "Does anybody know?"
 
Here ya go if you want Cleveland bearings

If you get the number off of the bearing, they can be had at a local bearing supply house for a fraction of the cost. I don’t have the numbers but have done that in the past. If they are damaged replace the outer races also.
Or you can send the wheel halves out to AntiSplatt and get them modified with sealed bearings and forget the regular greasing.
