Check the existing wheel bearings for the reference numbers as shown in the provided photo. If the bearings are damaged and the number can't be read, try pulling the other wheel on the axle and looking there. If you can't make out any of the numbers, measure the diameter of the spindle that the inner and outer bearing rides against. A digital caliper like # PTW80157 is recommended for measuring the spindle diameter. I've linked to some videos showing how to access the wheel bearings in case you're not familiar with the process.

If you can reply with the spindle diameters, I'd be happy to recommend replacement bearings.
