I replaced mine about 5 years ago. I sort of recall that there were
differences and that it's best to take some measurements with a
caliper at the upper and lower shaft as well as upper and lower post.
Luckily, Buzz is down the coast so I instead decided to bring my
rudder and old bearings down. You should check the search function
here. There was much written about it when I last looked.
