Nev-R-Lube Trailer Bearings Cannot be Replaced with Regular Bearings
Updated 02/25/2016 | Published 02/24/2016
Question:
Can nev r lube bearings be replaced with standard iner and outer bearing with a rear grease seal?

Expert Reply:
No, the problem is that the Nev-R-Lube bearings are uniquely sized to fit the compatible Nev-R-Lube hubs. That is partially why the sizes are given in metric units rather than inches.
Because of the incompatibility with regular bearings in order to use something different you would need to change the spindles on the axle which pretty much means that the axle has to be replaced.
Considering the cost of Nev-R-Lube bearings the cost of an axle is not all that much more but increases when you add hubs that will fit the new axle. I have included a link to the axles that we carry for you to view.
