you want the inner gaiter for the passenger side? Why do you need the bearing size?
The bearing on the inside is the same on them all as all the shafts taper down at the box end. |

I dont know but according to Eurocarparts and my local factors there are two different types. I mean Euro has these two:
656745111 INNER CV BOOT KIT .
INNER N/S BEARING=23.8MM
AND
656745161 CV BOOT KIT INSIDE DIA 25.80mm
INNER N/S BEARING=25.8MM
So is it the 23.8 or the 25.8? I will admit, I have no f00king idea... |

Thats just a pain in the arse, strip it, measure it, put it all back together, get to a factors and then strip it and do it again....not practical seeing as I usually have 1 maybe 2 days of the week to do it in. |

So is there any other way to find out what one I want apart from taking it apart?  |

Aha! Dialogys to the rescue, it reckons its 25.80mm, so I can assume that to be correct? |

dialogys seems to indicate 25.8mm so go for that one.
if it dont fit then u'll just have to swap it again...not the end of the world. |

I remember you saying that, but the large splodges on the drive are worrying  its leaking from the outer end of it too. |

it leaks through the bearing, that allows the shaft to get covered in oil and the gaiter. |
