How To Find Replacement Bearings For Trailer
Updated 08/08/2014 | Published 08/07/2014
Question:
I am trying to find replacement bearings for a trailer I just got. The bearing numbers are 15118 and the smaller one says 09078. I cant find anything to match these. It has a 5 lug hub and tire size is 4.8-8. Can you help?

Expert Reply:
I was unable to find the bearing numbers you listed so you may have to take some measurements to make sure you get the correct replacement bearings.
You can use a precision instrument like a digital caliper and measure the spindle in the places marked on the photo I have attached. You will also need to measure the inside of the hub bore to make sure you get the correct race and seals needed for your trailer.
I have attached a helpful article that explains how to replace the bearings, races and seals on a trailer.
