Replacement Parts Needed For Older Horse Trailer With 1.250 and 1.063 Spindle Diameters
Question:
Hello, I am having a hard time figuring the right bearings for an old horse trailer and was hoping yall could help. We pulled one wheel off and I do believe we have the new outside bearing correct matched to the old outside bearing but I am not convinced that the old inner bearing/race what we removed was correct because the new inner one seems too large. I've got some photos of the bearings, races, and spindle. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
It does appear someone put the wrong size inner bearing in your hub as the Bearing # L68149 fits a spindle with diameter of 1.378" while it appears you only have 1.250" on your spindle. This was likely done as you have a spindle size which is no longer commonly used. I recommend replacing your spindles with the #84 Spindle # TRU74FR. This will allow you to use 2 of the Hub/Drums # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K with Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA. These will give you updated components and you will be able to find replacement parts with our Bearing Kit # BK2-100.
