Guide for Removing and Reinstalling Trailer Bearings

Updated 08/12/2015 | Published 08/11/2015

Question:

I would like to repack the wheel bearings on my 2008 Jayco 26BH travel trailer. I am not sure how to identify the parts that I need to replace seals and bearings. Also, could you please refer me to a video tutorial that demonstrates how to repack the wheel bearings. Also, is there a demonstration video that shows how to inspect the trailer brakes as well and readjust if necessary? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I attached a video for you to check out that demonstrates how to remove, inspect, and reinstall trailer bearings. I also attached a second video that details how to pack bearings with grease.

To pick out bearings for a trailer hub you will need to remove one of the hubs so that you can remove the bearings and get the numbers off of them.

Or, you can measure the spindle where the bearings ride so that we can pick you out the correct bearings that would fit the spindle. I attached a picture that shows where to measure as well.
