I have to replace bearing and seals on on tandem Performance trailer from 1989. I cannot read the part number engraving. Suggestions? Thanks

I would be happy to help.
Since you cannot read the numbers on the bearings for your 1989 Tandem Performance Trailer you will need to use digital calipers like # PTW80157 to precisely measure your spindle in the locations shown in the included diagram.
Additionally you will also need to measure the location inside of your hub where the grease seal rides.
If you could send me the measurements of your spindle and hub I would be happy to recommend the correct replacement bearings and seals for your trailer.
