First, take the bearings out and see if they feel gritty when turned in your hand..if not, take one of the seals off with a knife blade, grease in there, seal back on. Then lotsa grease on the shelves where the bearings live, also on the fork crown race and replace all..
If the bearings are adios, any decent bike shop should have them...like mentioned, should say what they are on the edge.
