RT Rear Wheel Bearings, Hubs. Options?!

So my bearings are on their way out. There is enough movement i can feel when jackup up. So, i started searching, looking for where to find either the complete hub or the rear wheel bearing. Seems as though no parts distrubutors sell the complete hub, and only a few sell the bearing itself. It has become unclear IF it is possible to just replace the bearing, or if you HAVE to replace the whole hub. I wouldnt see why just replacing the bearing would be a problem, but would like to find out. I have access to a large hydro press, so that no problem, just need to hear other peoples experience with this. I have a set of extended studs to install at the same point and this is the only step i feel weary of after reading of members running into problems (and then not expressing what the problem was)...So before i pull it all apart, press out the bearing and foook it up, id like to know what im into here....
I found them pretty cheap here too:

The bearing is listed from Honda only and it's £90 for one type and £150 for the other.
That's x 1.5 to get it into dollar price.
I've measured the bearings and trying to find one which fits. - I have a good candidate.
Wondering if there is a known fitment for this now as this post was last done in 2011.
Else when I know, I'll sticky the info.

Naturally at the same time as doing this I will be converting to rear discs.
I'll write up my conversion, but it uses a rear caliper / carrier combination that is Euro only. However, it would work with any calipers that use 260mm rear discs.
i just found a spare pair of RT rear bearings after i moved .... if needed
but did mine back in Virginia before moving to Florida
all sand blasted down....
If you could it would be apprecaited please.
I suspect it will be different to those available in UK/Europe, but some makes cross internationally
Brand is CR. Front is pf102. Rears are br35.
Im not sure if those are general part numbers or using his books.
for the rear we list a b35 (skf brand)only in the book, not in the computer for the 4wd models.
part # b35:
i.d.: 1.3386"
o.d.: 2.5197"
width: 1.4567"
id: 34mm
od: 64mm
width: 37mm
That gells perfectly with my measurements here.

Many thanks. Perfect result!
I'll see if I can find the SKF bearing here, else I'll try my other alernative part route out.
That said it's only £27 ($40) with shipping for the correct part from the USA. - mine was coming out at half that but isn't a guarenteed fit (tho looks identical).

Oh I didn't know they operated in the uk !!
Good news is tho from that site that my searching for parts was 100% bang on correct.
also thanks for p/n civtec350
They're 'Ultima HA4013'. Maybe silly Q, but they're not the same as fwd rear hubs/bearings are they?
EDIT: I called the place and they confirmed with the supplier that it was an incorrect listing and removed it from their site
i am also in the middle of doing my wheel bearing.
i got a whole hub from the autozone i work at for around $80 bucks
the hub brand is timken listed to fit rt4wd wago
also bought wheel bearing as well and it was same part number as above b35
