Expert Reply:
Bearings and seals are generally measured in inches. It is best to use a digital caliper, like # PTW80157, and measure out to 3 decimal places to find the most precise figure.
I've attached an image that shows how to measure and identify them. As well as a help article on replacing them that may be helpful to you.
