Default Wheel bearing race

I changed my rear axle seals and wheel bearings because I had a leak. This was 1000 miles ago and you can already hear the bearing clicking. The mechanic said to change the race behind the bearing. I cannot find the race online. I have looked at axle diagrams and they show a race on the bearings closest the gears but no race on the outer bearings. Can anyone show me the part number or tell me if there is a race or not.

It is always a good idea to change bearing and race as a set.

I'm asking if there even is a race. When I changed the bearing I didn't notice anything behind it and can't find the part for the outer wheel bearing race.

My mistake, I should have read better. The outer bearings should be roller, no separate race. Pull the old one and replace, the axle will need pulled.

As said, the axle bearings by the rims in the axle tubes have no race.
