How to Determine What Replacement Bearings are Needed When Bearing Numbers arent Present

Published 02/18/2015

Question:

I have a LONG CHIH utility trailer model LCI-850T, VIN -LCAUS081. I need to replace inner and outer bearings and races and bearing seal on one side. The bearings that came out do not have any numbers stamped on them anywhere. Please help.

Another way to determine the bearings and seal you will need is to use a digital caliper and measure the bearing and seal dimensions of the spindle on your trailer. Again, these have to be as accurate as possible. I am including a link to a video that will show you how to take the measurements on the bearings.

See the attached picture to see where to measure as well.
