Question:

I have a 1988 Nuway 5x8 trailer. Would you have axle bearings and seals for it? Thanks

Expert Reply:

Unfortunately, I cannot find the axle information for your trailer which would identify the bearings and seals. You will need to pull apart one of your hubs to check the parts for identification numbers or to measure your spindle with a Caliper # PTW80157. I have included an image with the measurement points and where the part numbers are located inside the hub.

Typical trailers of this size will have either a 2,000LB or 3,500LB axle. The Bearing Kits # BK1-100, # BK1-150 and # BK2-100 are the most common used on these size axles.
