Replacement Bearing Kit for 5,800 lb Lippert Axle

Question

Question:

I have one more question if you don’t mind... For my 5,800 lb axle, I need to order cotter pins for the bearing repack I’m doing. I got the grease seals from you, but forgot to order the cotter pins. Can you tell me which size cotter pins I should order, or which ones come in the bearing kit linked below? I don’t need the full bearing kit just yet. Thank you.

What is the axle capacity that you have? We don't have an easy way to look up what you have with the info you listed but if you get me the axle info I can see what you may need.

Axle capacity is 5,800 lbs. here’s a photo of the axle label if it helps. MorRyde answered the wet bolt questions, so I just need to know what I would need to order for a wheel bearing kit, or for seals in case I don’t need the whole kit. Thank you,

For a 5,800 lb axle the bearing kit you'd need is the part # BK3-110. The grease seal part number is # GS-2125DL.

For just a cotter pin you'd want the part # 165649.

Answer 1

I have a few options for you to help with identifying the bearings and seals 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…

For a Lippert 3,500 pound axle the correct inner bearing is part #L68149 (1.378 inch inner diameter) and the correct outer bearing is part #L44649 (1.063 inch inner diameter). For a replacement seal you can use #RG06-050. These bearings and seal are…

I think the best way to explain how to install a grease seal like #10-9 is to take a look at the video I have linked. Go to about the 6 minute, 10 second mark. At this point in the video, our installer begins to install the seal in the back of the…

Hey Weston, a little play is normal for the most part as long as it's in and out. If the play is in basically any other direction that indicates a worn out bearing. In and out play can simply be that the spindle nut needs a little more tightening…

It sounds like you're looking for the torque specs for the lug nuts on a 6,000 pound axle. For a hub with 1/2 inch studs, 90 to 95 foot-pounds is standard.
