Assuming you have a non sholdered wear ring there is no real accurate way to measure it (especially once removed) without sofisticated tools, you can use a dial caliper to span and measure the impeller skirt and get some idea of what you might need. If your commited to replacing the W/R anyway the impeller should measure (standard) 7.225+ or- (if perfect) , if much undersize you'll need to machine it to say .005 under or .010 etc and the go back with a oversize W/R to compensate  Tom

That looks great, really wish I would have repainted mine when it was apart.

Strip of masking tape around the bowl and run a tight bead of silicone around it and call her good! Nice work.

Wondering why you didnt change the thrust bearing when you had it that far apart?
