TruRyde Trailer Bearings and Races Kit Installation Video

After you have your hub and bearings on your spindle you will then put on the washer, then the nut, and then the nut retainer (yellow piece) from the Nut Kit #RG05-100. The nut retainer helps to keep the nut from backing off and, ultimately, your…

The 12 inch tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. Any faster than that for extended periods and the excessive heat build up will cause tire failure. To get a tire with a higher speed rating you would have to go up in size. That also…

From the information that I was able to find on the L44549 bearing, it shows it being a 1-1/16 inch bearing which is the same as Trailer Hub Bearing, #L44649. Just to be sure, I recommend measuring the L44549 bearing with a digital caliper to…

In order to upgrade from a ST145/12 to a ST175/80-13, you'll need to account for added height and width of 2.7" and 1.1" respectively. You'll need at least 3" from the fender and 1" from the frame…

As long as the seal in the bearing kit part #BK1-150 is flush with the hub it is okay to have a small gap between the seal and inner bearing. When installing the seal you only insert it enough so that it is flush with the hub. The seal's job is…

If you only have the nut and a washer but no cotter pin or retaining type washer on the end then that isn't correct and you want to get a piece to help prevent that nut from backing off. If you have a setup like the Spindle Nut Kit for EZ Lube…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

The P in the tire size part p175/80-13 that you referenced indicates that it is for a passenger vehicle and should not be used on a trailer. For a trailer you want to go with a size that starts with ST which stands for specialty trailer. For an ST…

With your loaded trailer weighing around 1,400 to 1,600 pounds, I would actually run the Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D #AM31994 at the 65 psi rating. This is due to the max…

If there is a tiny bit of play in suspension components that are designed to move you would be fine. 1/16 of an inch isn't very much, and as long as you torqued everything down to spec you would be good to go. Ideally we just don't want it…

The clip that goes around 3 of the leaves of the 5-Leaf Spring part #e34SR that you referenced can go either in front of the axle or behind it. Either way would be perfectly fine. I attached an FAQ on trailer suspension for you to check out as well.

The key for selecting a replacement grease seal is the reference number, in this case #10-9. The manufacturer code does not matter. This is a single-lip seal with an inner diameter of 1.500-inches and an outer diameter of 1.987-inches. It is…
