Bearing Kits For Lippert 3,500LB Trailer Axles  

Updated 02/20/2024 | Published 02/19/2024

Question:

I have a Lippert 3500 pound trailer axle. Can you help identify what bearings and seals are needed? It is axle Item #V000781711, LCI35-DBSA-76.5-59.5-NOSP-US-L-545-7209-18PT-3 V000781710.

Expert Reply:

You are going to want either our Bearing Kit # BK2-100 or the Timken Kit # TMK52VR. Both of these kits will give you the inner/outer bearings and races along with a grease seal and cotter pin/D-washer for one hub. You always want to replace the race when you replace the bearing since they ride on the race and will prematurely wear your bearings if they are even slightly distorted from the previous bearing set.

Here is a list of tools you may need if you are doing the work yourself.

Race Install Set # PTW83020
Seal Puller # PTW1219
Bearing Packer # ALL647646
