Expert Answers about Keystone Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps


  • Replacement Bearings, Seals And Races For A JQ Tex Boat Trailer With 3,250 lb Axles
  • Hello Charles, I can definitely point you in the right direction. The 3,250 lb axles SHOULD use the same bearings and seals as a 3,500 lb axle. It does kind of depend on when the trailer was made though. Some older trailers may not necessarily use the same standard bearing sizing, and unfortunately, I cannot confirm your bearing sizes just by knowing the weight capacity and make or trailer. Your best bet will be to remove a hub and inspect the bearings. Each bearing should have a number...

  • Replacement Hubs And Brake Assemblies For A 2006 Colorado 5th Wheel
  • Hello David, I can definitely point you in the right direction. The Lippert 5,200 lb axles will use the standard 12" x 2" brake assemblies. For that I recommend the etrailer Rust-Resistant Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-7-D. This comes with a pair of Dacromet coasted electric brake assemblies. As far as the hubs, it is not quite so cut and dry. The 5,200 lb axles generally use a # 25580 inner bearing and a # 15123 outer bearing. Given that your axle is almost 20 years old, it may not...

  • Parts Needed To Convert M1101 Military Trailer To Electric Drum Brakes
  • Currently Dexter only offers either the Self-Adjusting Brakes # 23-464-465 or Brakes With Parking Brake # 23-112-113 which will fit your 1997 M1101 trailer. Both of these are sets of brakes for the left and right while the Drum # 42866UC3 is offered as a single unit so you will need to order 2 of the drums. The drum will include the bearings, races, grease seal, cap and lug nuts for a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. You will likely need the Dexter Breakaway and Parking Kit # T2385200 should...

  • Need New Bearings For A 2021 Grand Design Imagine 3250BH With 5,100 lb Axles
  • Hello David. The 5,100 lb axles will use a # 25580 inner bearing and a # LM67048 outer bearing. I suggest that you use the Bearing Kit # BK3-300. This will come with both bearings (not Timken brand) as well as both races, a grease seal and cotter pin.

  • Recommended 5 Lug Timbren Axle-Less System for 13" Trailer Tires
  • The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR2KHDS09 you're looking at is actually not going to work with your trailer tires since this kit is only going to work with trailer wheels that are 16" or larger. So, instead I'd recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension w Electric Brakes # A35RS545E. This is also an axle-less system that has a 3.5K capacity, a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern, will work with 16" wheels or smaller, and Includes hubs (with bearings, races, and seals)...

  • Rebuilding 5 X 8 Utility Trailer and Wiring Trailer To Have 7-Way Connector
  • First here are some parts I am going to recommend for fixing up your trailer. The Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C is a great option since it has a radial versus bias construction. This will give you better highway characteristics and increased tread life. For the wiring the Wiring Kit # HS381-9000 will give you a 7-way and junction box along with connectors for inside the box so you are not trying to find all the right sizes. The 4-way Trailer Harness # A25W2GWB is a great...

  • Should Trailer Hub Bearings be Packed with Grease Before or After Storage
  • Hey Gene, I think either way is fine unless you have a blown seal currently and there is a hub without any grease. As long as the hubs are in decent shape now as far as grease is concerned I would just wait till you pull the trailer out and pack them then.

  • Will The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-259-5UC1-EZ Fit a 2023 Triton LTWCI Trailer?
  • To be able to verify the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-259-5UC1-EZ is the correct part for your axle I will either need the axle tag information on your 2023 Triton LTWCI trailer or I will need to know what bearings and grease seal your current hubs use. This hub uses the bearing # L44649 for both the inner and outer position along with a Grease Seal # 10-9. If this matches what you have the Hub # 8-259-5UC1-EZ will fit with the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel # LH45FR and Taskmaster...

  • Recommended Replacement 10" Disc Brake Kit for a Coyote Trailer for Saltwater Application
  • Thanks for reaching out, Sam! The Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD59FR with the Dacromet/KodaGuard are definitely a solid choice, but the hub-rotors and brackets only have a 300- to 400-hour salt spray rating and the calipers have a 500- to 600-hour salt spray rating. At the very least I recommend using the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE66YR because everything has the Maxx Coating that has over 1,000 hours salt spray rating. If you want the best of the best then the part # DE46YR is the same kit...
