Measure the diameter of the hole that's on your current spool roller or measure the diameter of the shaft that your current spool roller rides on and you'll know what size you are in need of. The part # YR510Y-5 is for a 5/8 inch diameter shaft or we have the # YR510Y-4 which is for a 1/2 inch diameter shaft.
