⭕ Purchasing & Installation Tips
Before you buy, remove the original knob and measure the outer diameter (OD) of the two internal bearings (or plastic sleeves):
◉ If both internal parts are 7 mm OD, choose the D Cup package.
◉ If both internal parts are 9 mm OD, choose the NS Cup package.
➥ You typically do not need extra bearings. Reuse the bearings/sleeves from your original knob and follow the diagram to complete installation. Ensure all parts are clean, aligned, and spin smoothly.
