asked by: Ray
Helpful Expert Reply:
Are the hubs the same part? Or different parts or manufacturers? Is the lo0ose side hub damaged at all? That is strange that the 1.781 would fit one side and not the other. To determine if # BB1810 will fit I recommend measuring the hub bore ahead of time. The measurement has to be as accurate as possible so use calipers, such as # PTW80157, to take the measurement.
