First, make sure the axle nut is tight. If the axle stil has a lot of play, then the bearings are almost certainly shot. They are not hard to replace, but may require some real encouragement to drive them out. Typically you will have a set of bearings on either side of the bearing carrier, and a rubber dust seal(that rubber you see) outside each bearing race.

Pretty straight forward...Start from the out side and work your way in.. remove wheels/tires/hub, axle spacer if it has one..Remove the double locked nuts from each side. remove sprocket and disc hubs and the axle should slide out from 1 side.. Bearing may need to be pressed/hammered out of the swing arm..

Not off hand...Id pull the bearings out and match them up at a bearing supply house..Should have a number on them or they can be measured.
