I think OME

I remember years back trying to avoid the OME sting, but I only tried CBC before I thought sod it and bought new. Was told at the time, as a general rule, is only the top one causes grief?

Whats the Inner, Outer diameter and the width? Roller / Ball / taper? We have a awesome bearing guy up here that will be able to get them for sure. He has never not had a bearing or a seal for me. :) And 99.99% in stock to!

Wish I had an awesome bearing guy...being able to successfully navigate all the variables with the product and multiple manufactures is like black magic I reckon.

In situ
