Expert Answers about GMC Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps


  • How to Determine Replacement Hubs, Grease Seals, Races, and Bearings for a Boat Trailer
  • In order to determine what replacement grease seals, races, bearings, and hubs you need, you first need to identify the capacity of your axle. The first thing you need to do is look for any axle tag or etched axle number on the crosstube itself. Sometimes this information is inside the axle hubs if the axles came as a complete assembly. The axle information can also be found on any paperwork you received from your trailer. If you cannot find any of the identifying information, the next...

  • While we cannot confirm for sure what the "L" means on the 11033L, the "L" does not make a differences when coming to fitment of the hub.

  • Will Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K Work On EZ Loader Trailer
  • The bolt pattern of the # AKHD-545-35-K is a 5 on 4-1/2, but you will need to know what size your spindle is on your trailer to make sure the drums will work. The easiest way to see what you need is to pull the hub and drum and get the numbers off of the bearings. It will be stamped or etched on the side of the bearing as shown in the attached photo. If you cannot find the numbers you will need to use a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 and measure the spindle where the bearings ride...

  • How To Measure A Trailer Spindle To Find Replacement Hubs And Bearings
  • To make sure you find the right replacement hubs you can do a couple of things. First check out the bearing and see if you can find the numbers for the bearings either etched or stamped on the side of the bearing. If you can not find the numbers you will need to measure the spindle. I have attached a drawing that shows where you need to measure the spindle to find the right replacements. The drawing also shows where to measure for a seal as well. You will also need to measure the inside...

  • Replacement Trailer Hub and Drum and Brakes for AL-KO 8490 Axle
  • Based on what we could find, the AL-KO 8490 is a 3,500 lb axle, and your info stating the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 10" x 2-1/4" drum size supports that as well. I do recommend verifying what you need by taking apart your current hub assembly and looking at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle to the thousandths...

  • How Often to Add Grease to 3500 lb Capacity Trailer Axle
  • It's recommended that trailer hubs be pulled and the bearings and races cleaned and inspected and the bearings repacked every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Assuming you're speaking of an EZ Lube spindle, I'd recommend checking the grease fill monthly. Attach your grease gun such as # L30-310 to the zerk fitting and gently apply pressure until you see the outer bearing move or see grease oozing through the outer bearing. Being too forceful and adding too much grease too quickly can blow out...
