Ok, you're right - it looks f*cked. Hope the new bearings fit!

This is what I use;
I probably should have taken it apart at work and give you the correct code for a new bearing.
What you can do is pop to a LBS and ask them if they could find out what angles it is, they should at least have a tools to measure this (I do, standard issues).

Ta for the advice Gents as always, OK, I did just that (removed seals, washed in White Spirit to remove the old grease and muck etc etc) but dot dot dot.... I think problem maybe is that there's some corrosion on the stainless steel balls...
...and the inner race is quite pitted too (IMO)...
I'll handover to the learned Gents and Jury for their verdict! Guilty of sins against smooth steering or what :)
