Flux HP Tork motor bearings? -

Ok, "Frostbyte II" is under going a serious spring rebuild and I managed to get get most of the Tork motor taken apart other then the rear end which stubbornly refused to come off and stripping one of the small hex nuts, grr........
I noticed that the front bearing was a bit gritty feeling so I attempted to clean it out with soaking it in WD-40, blasting it with brake cleaner and then relubing it with some high quality bearing oil. It feels better but not perfectly smooth either and im ponder weather or not to just replace both the bearings and not take chances. I cannot get the rear bearing out of the endbell casing, I fear I'll have to wack it pretty hard and thus damage it to get it out.
HPI has no part #'s for those bearings and I wanna put in a good, quality bearing for the amount of speed and torque the motor puts out. What would you guys at castle recommend?
