Give www.buypartsby.co.uk a call and get the Contitech pattern items (I suspect these boys also supply GM).

About 35 quid each

If its excessive play nip the centre bolt up. Youll need a big breaker bar, my cheapo halfords one was visibly bending. Tip previously supplyed by Mark CTD, sorry, Dtm.
But if its buggered,the bearings can be pressed in and out. Seen it on here somewhere along with the bearing numbers, but for 35 sobs.....probably wouldnt bother.
