Handle Bearing Replacement on Shimano 5000 RE

Re-posted from the technical thread:

Thinking of replacing the two handle bearings in my 5000 REs. Does anyone know the size of the bearings I would need? I know there are some on ebay, mainly from the US but as I might need 6 sets I'm thinking it would be preferable to source direct from an engineering supplier in the UK. If no one knows the sizes I'll have to buy a set from ebay and work it out from there. I'm reluctant to measure the worn parts as I don't have a micrometer or an understanding of how much wear has occurred!

Any info appreciated please.
 
If you look carefully at the bearing shield/cover you can often see a code,if you search that code and bearing you should find the type. Either that or contact Shimano Filindre for repair or parts

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look to see if there is a part number on them. I'm really looking to replace with upgraded bearings rather than OEM parts from Felindre but the part code should lead to the dimensions - hopefully!
