Typically there are 3 measurements
- Perch width
- Housing flange width
- Axle flange width
- Drum to drum width
- Perch: is center to center (you can also measure inside of one to outside of the other to get center to center)
- Housing flange: is outside of the housing end to outside of the housing end (outside of housing end flange where bearing retainer would touch)
- Axle flange: is outside axle flange to outside axle flange (the surface where the drums would touch)
- Drum to drum: Is the outside of the drum to outside of the drum (the surface where the wheels would touch)
