Roller Assembly replacement part

Question

I have looked at both part numbers:
Product Code: 81-148 - Roller Assembly, 1-1/8" Steel Ball Bearing, Adjustable
Product Code: 81-162 - Roller Assembly, International
The only differences I can see is the size and material of the wheels. Looking at the pictures the wheel size of my part looks closer to the 81-148 but that has a metal wheel, while the 81-162 has the nylon wheel but is much larger in diameter.

Thanks for contacting us. I think one of these two rollers is definitely the best way to go, but it will also depend on the height of your housing. The housing on the 81-148 is 1-1/4" tall, but on the 81-162 the housing is 1-3/16" tall. This is an important difference and may decide which one would be best to use.
