I have had my boat and trailer 5 years now. I have no bearing buddies, or any type of grease fittings. How long should a set of bearings last ? I know i need to take them out and repack them, but should i go aghead and replace them ?? ideas please!!
How 'bout you just bring all your stuff down to Dixieland, and I'll fix it down here. Too cold for me to be up there. :?esquired said:BasBoy1 - you always have great advice, I want to fly you up here to "Yankee Land" so you can fix all my stuff up.
Thanks dude!
As far as I know, it isn't marked. Take your micrometer and measure the spindle, with the hub off. Also, make sure your spindle isn't stepped, or your hub isn't stepped. If it is, your inner bearing will be a different size than the outer. Also, take your micrometer, and measure the inside of the hub where the seal goes, as you will need this dimension for ordering. The best place I have found is Champion Trailers. Go to their website, and write down all the part numbers for what you are looking for. Then, call them during business hours and tell them the list. They don't have the online ordering, but their prices are reasonable. Dad made an order from them for bearings, and springs yesterday, and the phone call took less than 60 seconds, and that was with him telling all the billing and shipping info, as that wasn't on record.mtnbasser said:thanks for the tips guys...i think im just going to replace them..like i said ive had them on for 5 years and they have had no maintainence..another ? for ya..should the size of the bearings be marked on the existing bearings i have??? im not sure of the size, i know they make a 1" and a 1 1/16 "
