Hey James, thanks for the picture of your axle tag! With that info alone we know that the Timken bearing kit part # TMK52VR that you referenced is correct for it. Did you have a bearing go out or are you looking to keep a spare set on hand?

I want to have replacement bearings on hand before pulling the hubs on my trailer. I have read that Timken is a premium product and made here in the United states. Some things you don't skimp on. Wheel bearings would be one of those things. Thanks for your help.
