What is the Outer Diameter of the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange item # TRU27FR?

Question

Question:

Im trying to use these axles on a non-trailer setup. I want to use these axles with pillow bearings but Im having difficulty finding the right size. If Im reading the other questions correctly, it looks like this axle has a 1.063inch diameter spindle. Would that mean I need to find pillow bearings with a 1.063inch bore?
