Re: RF-45 Retrofit

Peter,

I just re-checked mine, the screw journal is 14.98 mm (.589 in) and
the bearings measure 14.91 ( .5870 ) I don't know if the bearings are
under sized ( they are SKF )or the journals are over, but I knew this
was too much difference. I'm thinking even if they are a little under
like you said it would just make sure the two bearings are in contact.
