A good thing I checked – they’re 1 34/4″. The same question I guess still stands, about whether or not to get two oil seals per side, plus another question: What size are the imperial ones?
Wmtbearings have an imperial seal, saying: “This seal is 1.3/4 = 44.45mm”, but don’t say whether it’s one per side or two, or whether single lip or double. I’m wondering about that because the seal’s garter faces outwards on my machine, which is (to me) unexpected. An eBay seller has some £.robbery_with_violence and I can find online some 175 118 18 TC (1 3/4″ x 1 3/16″ x 3/16″) at £.reasonable.
I suppose the best thing to do is press the seals/bearing out and have a shufti.
