Review of Timken Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps - Bearing And Race Kit - TMK54ZR Video

In order to verify the spindle dimensions so that you can pick out the correct hub/drum you have to get exact dimensions. For that you need to use a digital caliper like part #PTW80157. For how old your trailer is this is especially important as the…

90-120 ft lbs of torque is probably about right for your trailer rims. If you check out the lug nut torque chart that I attached you will see that nearly all of the torque specs are that and higher.

There are many ways you can secure wires to a trailer. I would not recommend the use of tape as it will wear out quickly when exposed to the elements. Soldering is also not recommended because it is a more permanent method and you may need to change…

I spoke with my contact at CE Smith regarding the Trailer Hub Assembly #CE13100 that you reference. She stated that they use an NLGI #2 red grease like the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease #L11390. This will be compatible with the grease…

You can check the condition of your hub's races by carefully removing all bearing grease with a rag to expose the actual surface of the races. When they are completely free of grease, etc., inspect them for any signs of scoring (very slight…

The bearing part #L44649 has an inner diameter of 1.063 and is typically used in 3,500 lb axle hubs and the #L44643 has an inner diameter of 1 inch and is typically used on 2,000 lb axle hubs. If you can get me more info on your trailer like axle…

The two tire sizes you referenced, 4.80-12 and 5.30-12, both fit 4-inch wide rims, but they differ in their overall diameter. A 4.80-12 tire/wheel when fully inflated will have a diameter of 20-1/2-inches while the 5.30-12 size will be just under…

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

All Malone trailers like the Malone MegaSport Trailer use a standard #L44643 bearing, so you can use the Bearing Kit for 1" BT8 Spindle, L44643 Inner/Outer Bearings, 34823 Seal #BK1-100 or just get the #L44643 bearings separately.

The Malone MicroSport trailers like you have use the bearing kit part #BK1-100 that you mentioned which comes with the correct seal size. Or for a replacement hub that comes pre-greased part #34822545BX. Then for a heavy duty and waterproof grease…
