Trailer Bearings Issue

AndyCr15 · 1 Jul 2014 at 17:53

My bearings are knackered, the garage did a bit of a bodge job to get it back on the road.

Any tips on where I could take it? As a technical n00b, how easily could I measure, order and replace the bearings?

Thanks.

youd need to get the bearings out of you can then take them to motor parts place and ask if they have any the same size

or a trailer supplier/manufacturer

It depends on exactly what the problem is. If it's the bearing itself then you need to get the number off the side of it and a decent bearing supply place will sort you out.

If the hub or stub axle is damaged that's another matter, but there are numerous companies (e.g. TrailerTek) that specialise in trailer spares so it will be fixable one way or the other.

I recently overhauled the hubs on my trailer. Picked up all parts for £22 from Trident Towing.

You don't need to be technical, just a good shot with a 2lbs hammer and flat punch! It's knocking the bearing races out that's the tricky part.

From that picture they look like the common Indespension hubs (Dave Cooper trailer??)

If the hubs and stub axles are ok, just pick up 2 x 44643/10 and 2 x 44643L/10 bearings (the numbers should be on the old bearings once you clean the old grease off) and the best part of fitting new bearings.... grease them up real nice
