I bought a complete bearing kit from a UK seller on eBay, it was £12 delivered.
It's easy enough but you need to heat the Torx bolt to break the loctite on the threads, i used a soldering iron. These bolts round off really easily if you don't heat them to break the loctite and then it's a pain to get sorted.

i know the axle change is the common diy on here, but has anyone had any success replacing the bearings? got a well used standard cromo pair on the daily commuter and some play has recently developed in both sides so you can actually wiggle the pedal body slightly. keen to try and replace the bearings and get some more life out of them. the ebay j&l guys sell a kit, link below. only differences are the bearings have rubber seals as opposed to the metal shielded ones which (i think) are standard in the pedals. any advantage to one over the other?
