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

heres a little paint pic.. :thumbup:a little brown 2 match

there she squirts....

Looks great, that wasn't so bad now was it?

what a pain in the a** to put in with out scraching anything  and newly powder coated swim step brackets...

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?
