You do not need to spend much money on a new bearing $10 or so will secure you a top quality original type.

If it`s a dual row, you won`t be able to just replace it to another one because that size is not commercially available, I think never was. You can fit in a new one but you will need a spacer. Also, if it`s the original dual row I wouldn`t touch it. It`s a robust bearing that rarely fails.
