Is it Okay to Just Replace Bearing in Trailer Hub without Race
Question:
If the race looks fine, is it ok to just replace the bearing? Or is it recommended to do both at the same time? These are on a utility trailer with a 3500# axle.

If the race is fine you are totally okay to just replace the bearings. In most situations just replacing the bearing is all that's needed.
