Vonda,
Big!!....the center hole of the washer has to fit over the center pin on the cross member of the pot.....about 3/4 to 1 inch hole diameter.....2 to 2.5 inch outside diameter......1/8 inch thick.

The "new" Chubby with the pin shakes much easier than the old one. It is not unusual for the shaker to become stiff due to small clinkers, etc. You can shake on that thing with pretty much all your might and not hurt it. I whale on mine if it gets stiff and after a couple of shakes it runs smooth as silk. Don't forget to floss.

I used to give mine an occasional tap on the end of the shaker with an hammer. Always seemed to do the trick.
