Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look at this Timken replacement trailer wheel bearing. Now, this high-quality tapered roller bearing features a special alloy blend that's going to reduce vibration extending the bearing's life. And this replacement bearing uses the industry standard number L68149 and this is going to fit your inner bear. This is going to be the inner bearing rather for your number 84 spindle.

Now, the matching race, which is not included, is listed there for you on your screen. The bearing will match with the races identified by the numbers L68110, L68111, L6811P, and L68116. Now because this is a Timken product, you can trust that this is going to be really of a great quality. If you're not familiar, Timken is one of the most well-known and highly trusted brands in the industry because their products are engineered with higher quality controls, which ensures tighter tolerances and run out than other manufacturers. This is going to help reduce your vibrations and noise and lead to a longer life when properly installed.

And the higher quality is even evident in the way that the bearing comes packaged to you. And this bearing is individually packaged in oils when it arrives. It's gonna be in very great condition, ready for you to install it. Now as I mentioned, this does use the industry standard part number L68149, and you might be able to see that printed here, right here on the bearing L68149. And all of the Timken bearings and all typical bearings should have that number stamped or printed on there.

So that's gonna be a very simple way to confirm that this is the actual bearing that you need to replace. Just look for that number on your current bearing. Also with the races that you are looking to pair the bearing with, the races is gonna help you identify which bearing you need. But if you don't see the number on the current bearing that you're needing to replace, the other way to properly verify that this is going to fit your application is to measure the inside diameter. And that's a very exact measurement.

So I would recommend getting some digital calipers as I have here to measure the inside diameter. So I'm gonna go ahead and slide that in there real quick. Hopefully you can see that. See if I can bring that over. So our inside diameter is going to be 1.3775 inches. So it's gonna be a very precise measurement. But if you can find the number printed on your original bearing, that's gonna make it a whole lot easier for you to confirm which bearing you need to act as a replacement for you. Well, that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
