There are different sized wobbler wheel retaining rings, however we only carry the one size of retaining ring. The CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring - Zinc-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # CE10981. This is designed for holding roller on 1-1/8" shaft size and 3/4" shaft size only. The diameter of this retainer ring is 3/16 inch. This is a fairly standard size and that is why we don't carry others. If you need a washer for this install, I recommend the CE Smith Wobble Roller Washer for 3/4" Shaft - Zinc-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # CE10983. This will allow you to clamp the retaining ring tight to the shaft and allow the wheels to spin freely.

The measurement is based on the shaft. There really isn't a good way to measure the ring because it is bent on purpose.
