Video Transcript for Review of etrailer Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps - Bearings - L68149

Hello, everybody this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we take a look at this replacement L68149 trailer hub bearing. Now this is a replacement tapered roller bearing it's designed to fit the 3600 pound axles that have the number 84 spindles, it is designed for high speed use. And the bearing is stamped with an industry standard part number on it and basically if you look real close here you can see it stamped L468149. Now the bearing race that this will ride on is sold separately. It does require a bearing race part number of L68111.

The inner diameter which is the most important measurement on this bearing is gonna be 1.378". And it is a stamped steel construction. Now basically when this is installed on the spindle it would be lubricated with wheel bearing grease. But that's gonna do it for the review on this replacement L68149 trailer hub bearing.

Ordered bearings and races for both hubs on my bass boat. Quality seemed better than local auto parts bearings. Also purchased other items on this order and was very pleased with products and customer service I received from etrailer. Informative, fast shipping, and courteous company to work with. Top notch!!



by:

I bought the brake this kit last year along with new bearings to replaced the existing brakes on our 2010 Jayco 23B. We went on eight different camping trips this year and they work great! We noticed a huge improvement when applying the brakes to slow down or stopping the camper altogether. I highly recommend this kit because they were easy to install and the noticed stopping power.Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding this kit.



by:

I could not be happier,

What a
diiference to have not just good brakes, but great brakes. Plus, the install was so easy, all the hardware was a perfect fit, instructions were right on the money (btw, I'm a retired engineer from a nuclear plant and I wrote procedures, so I'm picky) Anyway, towed the boat 1,000 miles and what a reassuring feeling to know that the equipment is in good working order and does the job when called upon.

I'm attaching a couple of pictures so you can see what I did.

Thanks again, I will be using etrailer in the future anytime I need something, feel free to pass on my comments



by:

I had a hub and bearing go out on a boat trailer going down the road. Tried matching separate parts locally, but were not available. Was able to order all the parts from etrailer at one time. They had on hand and shipped right away. Parts were exactly what I was looking for. Perfect fit. Now if I would have known that the other side would have failed in the next 12 months I would have done them all at the same time.



by:

I put these bearings on a 21 ft travel trailer. The original bearings were poorly greased and got too hot. With these bearings and a good quality grease these bearings never overheated even with driving in hilly terrain with frequent breaking. Definitely recommend!



by:

Product arrived faster than anticipated. Haven't actually installed yet, but quality looks good. They are Chinese but what isn't. I could have paid three times the price for the same thing locally. I've already recommended Etrailer to a friend. Thanks.

I got the email notification that the package was delivered before I went to the mailbox.This digital age is amazing. And the delivery was a day ahead of promised.
I haven't installed them yet but I would like to complement
etrailer on the tech support. I have a 19 year old Tracker trailer. Every few years I replace bearings and always have a problem with finding correct parts, It seems the L68149 inner bearing uses 2 different races that are different in size. To make matters worse the existing inner race was not marked with the correct part number. L68111 instead of the correct L68110. I measured bearing sizes several times and was still not certain what was wrong. While chasing down what to order I found the answer in the etrailer FAQ page. Having the exact measurements for the parts really helped. I also found the perfect replacement for the damaged rubber part on the transom saver for the boat. Now when it warms up a few degrees I can get these installed and be ready to go fishing. Thanks, etrailer.

Don't do what I did...spend 2 weeks trying to find the right parts locally, and end up trying to use a 67 Chevy seal on a 2002 boat trailer...it doesn't work. Just order the right stuff from etrailer.com and save yourself a lot of time, money, and hassle. If you just absolutely have to go the auto parts store, their brake cleaner is pretty handy for removing grease from the trailer parts without removing the paint.

Bearings and seals in stock, delivered fast and exactly what I needed. Thank You for your great customer service..... ready to transport my boat 1000 miles to Florida....Jim

Want to help out the next customer looking for the bearing, cups, and seals for 2000-01 tracker trailstar trailer. 1st you have to dismantle one of the hubs and see what trailstar decided to put in there the day they built it. You will find the rear cups and seals are considered "Special for some reason". Not a problem for etrailer, they have them in stock and the quality is excellent and are exact replacements. The parts I had to order were cup L68110, cup L44610, seal 168233, bearing L68149 and bearing L44649. Oh yeah, customer service should get a 10 star review. I had an issue with shipping co. because of new driver in my area. Etrailer got all up in their business for me and I didn't have to do anything. Customer service also called me the next day to see if everything was delivered and satisfactory. We need more companys like etrailer.com . Excellent!!

  • Can I Add Electric Brakes To A 1993 EZ Loader Boat Trailer
    Hello Mike. It sounds like you are wanting to add electric brakes to your boat trailer that currently has no brakes. This is possible, but you will first need to make sure that your axle is equipped with a brake flange at the base of the spindle. The brake flange is necessary for adding brakes. If you do have a brake flange, you will next need to determine your bearing sizes. Electric brakes will require new hubs and drum assemblies, and we need to be sure that there is a drum available...

  • Replacement Hub, Bearings, and Grease Seal for 3,500 lb Dexter Axle
    You are correct that is a 3,500 lb axle. If you want a bearing kit the # BK2-100 you looked at is the right one. This comes with a # L44649 outer and # L68149 inner bearing along with a # 58846 (10-19) grease seal. If you want a replacement idler hub you can use the # AKIHUB-655-35-K or for a hub and drum assembly the # AKHD-655-35-K. Both of these have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.

To confirm if this is what matches the axle on your 1990 Ranger Trail Boat Trailer, you will need to inspect your current hub for the bearing and seal information. If you are unable to find the information stamped on the bearings and seals you can measure your spindle with a Digital Caliper # PTW80157. Once you have...

  • Replacement Hub Components for Hub 9606020
    While the # L68149 most likely corresponds to the inner bearing number of your hubs. If this is the case, you have either a 3.5k or a 4.4k axle. In order to know absolutely sure, you need to know the corresponding outer bearing number or the inner and outer diameter of the grease seal. You most likely need to wipe away the grease in order to reveal the outer bearing number. In order to accomplish this, I recommend using calipers like the 4" Carbon Fiber Digital Caliper # PTW80157.

    Hello Gilbert, thanks for reaching out. We do have brakes and hubs for Dexter 4,400 lb axles, but the sizing for these 4.4K axles can be funky depending when they were made. The best way to confirm what you need is with the casting number on the current hubs. That'll tell us exactly what brakes, hubs and bearings will fit. There should be a casting number visible right on the front of your brake drums. For example, what the 4.4K axles typically use are 10" brake assemblies like part #...

  • Replacement Hub for a UFP H-1377 on a 2004 Tahoe Boat Trailer
    The UFP H-1377 correlates to a Dexter #84 spindle, which is for a 3,500 pound axle. This will utilize an inner bearing # L68149 and an outer bearing # L44649. As this is being used on a boat trailer, I highly suggest going with the etrailer.com # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. This is galvanized and will be the best option available for your trailer. This also includes both the inner and outer bearings, the grease seal, the grease cap, and the lug nuts.

  • Recommended Bearing Kit for a 3,500 lbs Axle on a Boat Trailer
    Hey Kevin welcome back! The Hub Bearing Kit item # BK2-100 is most likely what you'll need. The item # L68111 race is what's used on the item # L68149 bearing found on 3,500 lbs axles. Without that second bearing part number or a measurement, I can't 100% confirm. A quick way to confirm item # BK2-100 is what you'll need is to measure your spindle with a digital caliper like item # PTW80157 and measure the spots marked C and D on the diagram below. C will be 1.378" and D will be 1.063"...

Due to the Aluminum frame, I recommend putting a thin rubber pad between the steel mount and the aluminum I-beam.

    I have a few options for you to help with identifying the bearings on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find the bearings based off industry standards. For example, a 3,500 lb axle uses L68149 and L44649 bearings like what comes with the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and Al-Ko Axles part # BK2-100 or the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly...

With that being said, the Tie Down Engineering 11033 hub has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and is designed for 3500-lb axles. Replacement hubs that have these specs typically use a # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, as well as inner race # L68111, outer race # L44610 and grease seals with inner diameter of 1.719" and outer diameter of 2.565".

  • Which Axle Should Electric Brakes be Installed on with Tandem Axle Trailer
    When installing electric brake assemblies on just one axle of a tandem axle trailer, you will essentially want to choose the axle that is going to be seeing more weight. Typically on utility trailers, most of the weight will be in front of the axles so the brake assemblies will be installed on the front axle. For boat trailers, where the motors are at the rear, you will usually see brakes on the rear axle. I have attached a great article that details everything you will need to install...
