Looking to replace all mine and looking at those. I see they also offer ceramics for not much more, is it worthwhile going for the ceramic one?

Also, does the Hudy bearing puller tool work fine on Nova sized bearings?

One other quick question in regards to the rear bearing (Nova P5), is it 25.4, or 25.8 OD?
In the title here is says 25.8, but then in the text 25.4.....
