Typical 540 brushed motor bearing size?

What's the typical bearing size for a 540 motor? I had some old stock brushed motors busted open and the comms cut and I want to replace the bushings with bearings. I'm figuring they are all the same size.

Not sure of the size, but if you place a brass washer between the bearing and the can no one will no the difference...
This post was for entertainment purposes only. I never cheated... with my driving it wouldn't have helped.

I'm bored at work and found this thread after some searching. Obviously I can't speak for it's accuracy. Hope it helps.

I just replaced the bushings on some brand new Associated motors. I used the 1/8 x 3/8 x 5/32 Metal bearings from Avid RC.
