So you can see that we do have the industry standard number printed on the inner ring or the cone of the bearing. That's 1779. So you wanna look for that on the bearing that you are replacing. There are some other numbers that might be on there. If you see any of those numbers on that that you can see on the screen there, this will work for you.

It will work as a replacement for any of those bearing numbers. But you do wanna make sure you're getting the right bearing. So if you don't see any number on there, the only other way you can tell is by measuring your inner diameter here. And that is very precise. It goes down to a thousandth of an inch.
