Question:
I have a 2001 escort boat trailer, and replacing the wheel bearings. Do both sides have two sets of bearings?

Expert Reply:
Assuming your 2001 escort boat trailer is a single axle, each side will have both an inner and outer bearing. We certainly should have replacement bearings for you. That said, I am not able to make accurate recommendations off of just a year make and model of trailer (if only it were so easy right?).
Bearings are best identified using the bearing number stamped on the edge of each bearing. If no numbers are visible it is possible to measure the bearings with a precision caliper (to the nearest thousandth of an inch). For example, it is very common for single axle trailers to be equipped with a 3,500 lb axle. A 3.5K axle uses an Inner bearing # L68149 (1.378" inner diameter), and an Outer bearing # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter). We offer a bearing kit # BK2-100 which comes with both bearings, races and your grease seal. If you are able to unpack one hub and get both bearing numbers, we will know exactly what we need to replace it with.
