Comprehensive Review: Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit w/ Built-In Charger Video

Hi Jayme, Thanks for that info and there is a bearing kit with the L44649 and L68149 bearings you need; the correct kit is the following: - Hub Bearing Kit #BK2-100 This comes with both of those bearings as well as their accompanying races, the…

Grease Cap set #RG04-040 are regular grease caps that have a rubber plug on the end to access a grease zerk fitting on the spindle (end of the axle). They install the same as regular grease caps. It sounds like you are looking for bearing…
