How to Determine Bearing Race Replacements for a Trailer Hub
Updated 06/23/2015 | Published 06/22/2015
Question:
As a friend and i were repacking the wheel and putting new bearings and seasl in.. we found the new bearings from the old numbers, the bushing on both sides are pitted and will not hold grease. Before this trailer can be functinal we have to replace the shaft bushing for the new grease seal to hold grease properly. What is any information do you need to find the correct bushing seal.. etc. All I know is the shaft is one inch in diameter and the rtrailer load is under 3500 lbs.. the boat is a 16foot light weight aluminum boat.. any information will be appreciated! thanks..

Since you have the grease seal and bearings already it would seem that you are looking for replacement races.
You can measure to find the replacements or you can get the numbers off of them. I attached a picture that shows all of the replacement parts we offer for a trailer hub and how to identify what you have so that it can be replaced.
