I contacted Stinger Trailers and was able to verify that the Bearing Kit # BK2-100 you referenced is exactly what you need to replace the bearings and seal for the hubs on your folding motorcycle trailer. The Sure-Lube system on the trailer features a drilled grease zerk on the spindle that allows for easy maintenance but the bearings and seal themselves are the standard size and type for 3,500 pound axles.

I have attached an installation video that you might also find helpful.

Hi Folks, Do you carry the spindles for this trailer? I need to replace both spindles as the bearings and lubrication were not properly maintained. Thanks. Pat

@AristarchusO Hi! It's not necessarily a direct replacement for that specific trailer, but if all those bearings listed above are correct, the #84 Spindle # TRU74FR is exactly what you would need.

@ChrisR Thanks Chris, these look to be 4" drop, same flange weld on, with a 4 bolt plate, do you carry those?
