Hello what dimensional size bearing installer do I need for a 3500 pound lippert axle For bearings SET17 Timken Replacement Bearing and Race Set - L68149 and L68111 SET4 Timken Replacement Bearing and Race Set I’ve been reading that I think the 59 mm size won’t work on one of the bear But you sell a bearing installation tool that has I think SAE rather than metric sizes thanks for your help Thank you

Hey Bryan, since the race part # L68111 is 2.36 inch the size disc to use of the # PTW83020 that you referenced is the 2.325 inch. That in mm is 59 mm.

Hey Bryan, did the 2.325-inch disc from the installation set work for your 3500-pound Lippert axle? I'm curious to know because it could help others with similar setups.
