Phred52 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Fishinfrenzy, The ABSOLUTE BEST way is to get the number off the side of the bearing and match it that way. Otherwise, take the inner and outer races and measure them with a caliper (or even a micrometer). If your origional isn't all ground to shavings, there's a bearing number (usually a letter and 5 digits) printed on the edge of the outer race. You may need to use a magnifying glass to read it clearly. Give that # to your parts man and you should get the correct replacement.

Tom Linderholm Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I just brought the blown bearing into northern hydraulic and they did the caliper measurements there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
