There are different sized wobbler wheel retaining rings, however we only carry the one size of retaining ring. The CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring - Zinc-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # CE10981. This is designed for holding roller on 1-1/8" shaft size and 3/4" shaft size only. The diameter of this retainer ring is 3/16 inch. This is a fairly standard size and that is why we don't carry others. If you need a washer for this install, I recommend the CE Smith Wobble Roller Washer for 3/4" Shaft - Zinc-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # CE10983. This will allow you to clamp the retaining ring tight to the shaft and allow the wheels to spin freely.

The measurement is based on the shaft. There really isn't a good way to measure the ring because it is bent on purpose.

Basically, you put the open end around the shaft on each end of the roller then use some pliers to clamp it closed so it is tight to the shaft. This allows the roller to roll but stay in position. I made a video showing what this would look like for…

The Yates Wobble Roller #YR440R that you referenced should work well for you since it has the same 3/4 inch shaft as your trailer. Wobble rollers are held on with retainer rings like the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring #CE10981. Basically, you…

I went out to the warehouse and measured Yates wobble roller #YR530R-6P. The width of the center is 1-5/8 inches so it will be too large. Your best option is going to be roller #YR440R which is much narrower but the overall width is 4-1/4 inches. The…
