Default New SKF hub/bearing. I need a measurement please.

I have some of these on order but they are backordered so I won't see them for a couple weeks I think. I need a measurement off of one of them if someone has one on the shelf or can get a measurement off their car if they have the SKF hubs installed already. What I need is the inside diameter of the wheel center snout on the wheel flange. For clarificaiton, I mean the part the the wheel and rotor center on. I need the diameter on the inside of that. I need a pretty precise number so if you have the right equipment to measure it I would appreciate it.
I already talked to Gary Hoffman and he is currently out of them and all the other bearings that I have are a rough finish in the ID of the snout. I understand the SKF hub has a machined finish in that bore.

So thanks ahead of time if anyone can get me that dimension.

Mine are machined and measure 2.444 inches inside the snout.

With a Mitoyo digital micrometer, moving the two inside probes back and forth just a touch to make sure I was getting the full diameter.

I get 2 7/16" using a cheapo vernier caliper, so Doug and I are in agreement to better than 0.01"

Thanks for the confirmation.





Now does that snout have the same height as the stock bearing? I would think so but I want to be sure. I am currently searching for the specs from SKF. Maybe I can find a drawing.

thanks again guys
