  • Recommended Bearing, Race, and Seal For Grease Conversion on Trailer Hubs
  • We have Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors that are the 2.240 inch you referenced but they are not threaded. They are part # BB2240SS for stainless or # BB2240 for chrome plated.

For the bearings, races, and seal, you will want the Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle, L44649/L68149 Bearings, 10-19 Double Lip Seal # BK2-100. You may also...

  • Tools for Installing and Removing Bearings, Races and Seals
  • We offer a tool for installing bearings, races and seals, kit # PTW83020 from Performance Tool. This is intended for installing these items but it could also work to get them out of your hubs.

We also offer dust cap driver tools, shown on the linked page. These are used for installing grease caps/dust caps like # F001503.

  • Replacement Bearing Kit With Bearings, Races, And Seals For 4 Lug Trailer Axle Hubs
  • For your wheel bearing, races, and seals, I don't have the dimensions available.

The correct bearings, races, and seals are as follows: Bearings (sold separately) Inner...
