The bearings are peened (locked by pressing) into the housing on stock WGP detent, and not really made to be replaceable. If the ball starts to stick or jam the detent is usually toast, and I just fit a new one as they aren't that expensive to replace. I'm guessing the bearing is about 0.25" in diameter, but impossible to measure accurately without butchering a detent to remove the ball
