[QUOTE="Buss69, post: 559105, member: 414"] Thanks for this info, definitely a help. So that explains two of the three spacers I have then. It sounds like one of the two sets I bought are original earlier items. For the record I used my originals but the other set of replacements have the same internal and external diameters but are longer than my originals. I'm not sure by how much I'll check tomorrow. Why is this spacer longer? I did wonder if this was to compensate for the lack of cage that the original outer bearing sits in. This cage prevents the bearing being pressed too far into the housing but the new one does not have this cage. What stops the new bearing from being pushed too far in? [/QUOTE]
