I recently had all the bearings replaced on my back axle, it's like new now 
I used this company to obtain the bearing, they certainly know their stuff and sent and checked everything I needed.
linky
I then got our local garage to replace the half shaft ones and a diff specialist in Peterhead to do the diff. The half shaft ones are a doddle and
just need access to a press. I like you first tried ebay and have got 2 sets of bearings that are not the right ones, just a note the bearings that
have an o-ring round them have a bad reputation and should be avoided. The company I have given you the link to, got me quality German bearings

There's a small engineering place on Sibsey St. in Lancaster that's supposed to be very good. I've never used them but a mate did
to recon a BSA Bantam crank. He got it home and set it up with a dial guage to check for run out and says it's spot on.

No press needed - length of suitable stout tube helps.
Bearing is held on by a collar that is just heated up and simply dropped on.
