are you sure i have to ask because i really dont have to send it back if it dont work

Measure the tube it slides into. Thats the outside diameter. Then measure the bolt that goes through the center of it. Thats the inside diameter. Thats what size mine are in my roper with 6 inch wheels. I think the ones with bigger wheels use bearings. See if you can get it at lowes or home depot in the specialty hardware drawers in the bolt section. Also it needs the flange around iy to keep it from sliding into the neck tube.
