Rear Wheel bearings

So I dropped my bike off at the stealer to have the chain tightened. I attempted to tighten it myself but was unconfident with my results, and wanted a base line to remember back to when I do it myself.
The stealer said I needed new wheel bearings in the rear…. They wanted around $160 installed. But I kind of want to do it myself and save a buck or two on parts and labor. I can figure how to do it with the manuals online (I almost have a full one printed out already) and do it myself. So does anybody know of any local(local to me but it really doesn’t matter just tell me your story on where you found them) stores that would have the right size wheel bearings I would need. Also if anybody knows the size that would really help out.
and a dancing rabbit to make me feal better.....

Bucket,
PLEASE put your location in your avatar region, I have to assume you are in the US not Europe or Australia where some of us are.
The wheel bearing change is very easy the hardest thing to do physically is removing the wheel preferably with out opening the chain. as to bearing sizes
UPDATE :-
Front wheel bearing :- 2 pieces of bearing number 6302 add -2RS for 2 rubber seals on the bearing for extra protection ie 6302 -2RS
the rear wheel :- 6303 -2RS 1 piece
6203 -2RS 1 piece
Sprocket carrier 6372 -2RS 1 piece
Any good bearing house should carry these (the 2RS may vary with make i quoted from SKS bearings )

Well over here we are all working 'cept me its against my religion :-} and it is warm . You have company if memory serves there is another Arizona denizen who was saying it was 110 degrees or some such. How the heck anyone would wear leathers in that God alone knows it is bad enough at 90 back home in Trinidad and the odd 80 here in west london.
Enjoy the cold beers even more today LoL
