Even though I cannot comment specifically on the grease you used because I am not familiar with it, I can tell you the best grease for trailer bearings is a a grease with a rating of GC-LB, which just means it is made to withstand very high…
Hi Calvin! All of the pre-greased hubs/drums, like the Terran Industries Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 #TX68VJ, come with bearings made overseas and are all basically the same quality. At least that I…
Trailer wheel bearings are specific to the spindle that is installed on the axle that is on your trailer. You will need to safely support the trailer, remove the wheel and tire, remove the grease cap, remove the cotter pin and washer that secures the…
The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…

Hi William! Thanks for the picture of your axle tag. The correct bearing kit is the #BK3-200 with a 10-36 grease seal. If you want the Dexter version it is the #DX58ER, Are you getting your Momentum ready for spring/summer? Any big trips coming up?
You will need to measure the diameter of the spindles where the seal and bearings ride. Check out the picture I attached that shows where this is. You will need an exact measurement so either a digital or dial caliper will be needed. To pick out the…
Yes, the Timken Bearing Kit #TMK52VR will fit your 3,500 lb axle as it fits an standard #84 spindle. The only time this kit won't fit with a 3,500 lb axle is if the trailer/axle is made before the 2000's since that's about the time that…
The BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643 bearing. In…

Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps with 1.98 Inch O.D.
Sized for snug hub bores, these trailer bearings, races, seals, and caps match 1.98 inch o.d. Options include double-lip seals with a spring for a dependable seal and stainless caps that hold up well on small boat trailers. For best results, verify the hub bore with dial calipers about an inch inside before you choose your parts.
Yes, double-lip seals with a spring are available around 1.983 outer diameter. Match the inner diameter you need, such as 1.249 noted for certain replacements. Verify any stamped number's dimensions; for example, some list 1.250 ID and 1.979 OD while close options list 1.249 ID and 1.983 OD.
Measure the hub's seal bore with dial calipers; common seals list 1.983 outer diameter for a 1.98 Inch O.D. fit. Match the inner diameter to your spindle, like 1.249 or 1.375 as noted in examples. Check for hub bevels that can make a ruler read large. If you see leaks on a "1.72" spindle, verify it's not actually 1.683, which can cause sealing issues.
Look for seal systems designed to help on worn spindles and consider stainless caps to replace rusted ones. Lightly dressing the seal surface and installing a fresh seal has helped reduce water leakage. After assembly, ensure o-rings and gaps are sealed; adding sealant was used to fill a thin o-ring gap in one setup.
Choose a cap that matches the bore, often around 1.99 for a 1.98 Inch O.D. fit. Measure inside the bore about an inch deep with calipers; a bevel can throw off ruler readings. If using a rubber plug, inspect it for cracking and replace if it shows wear.
