Expert Answers about Airstream Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps


  • Recommended Bearing, Race, and Seal For Grease Conversion on Trailer Hubs
  • We have Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors that are the 2.240 inch you referenced but they are not threaded. They are part # BB2240SS for stainless or # BB2240 for chrome plated. If you don't want to replace your hubs to utilize those, then the best option is to keep your oil cap as a grease cap and you can still change over to grease. For the bearings, races, and seal, you will want the Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle, L44649/L68149 Bearings, 10-19 Double Lip Seal # BK2-100. You may also...

  • Bearings, Races, and Grease Seal Recommendation for a 1995 Coleman Stoney Pop Up

I attached a help article on replacing bearings, races, and seals on a trailer hub for you to check out as well.

  • Recommendation For Bearing/Races/Seals Replacement Kit For 7,000-lb Lippert EZ-Lube Axles
  • I contacted Lippert to confirm bearing sizes and it sounds like your 7,000-lbs axles have an outer bearing like Item # 14125A and an inner bearing like Item # 25580 and a 10-36 seal. Based on this information, I recommend the replacement Bearing Kit, Item # BK3-200, which includes bearings, races, grease seals, and cotter pin. For hub grease caps, I recommend Item # rg04-120. The dust caps are sold separately so if you need them I recommend the Rubber Lube Plug, Item # DC-RP. If these...

  • How to Determine Which Bearings Will Fit a 2013 Jayco Swift 185RB
  • There are going to be 2 ways of confirming which bearings will be the correct replacements. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything confirming which ones are used. So with that being said, the quickest and easiest way will be to contact the manufacturer of the trailer with your VIN. This is something that they will have on file and should be able to tell you exactly which inner and outer bearings are needed. If for some reason they cannot tell you what is needed, you will need to...

  • Grease Seal in Bearing Kit BK2-100 Compatibility with Bearing Buddy Grease Caps
  • The Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle, L44649/L68149 Bearings, 10-19 Double Lip Seal # BK2-100 comes with the seals compatible with your spindles. The double lip seals are a better seal and there are different part numbers simply because there are different manufacturer part numbers that are cross-referenced with different manufacturer part numbers for fit. The # RG06-050 seals are the same as 158800, GS-1719DL, # 58846, and 171255. The bearing kit # BK2-100 will work well for you and will...

  • Bearing Kit with Dust Cap that Fits Lippert 3,500 lb Trailer Axle
  • Since you have 3,500 lb trailer axles from Lippert the correct bearing kit is the part # BK2-100. This comes with bearings, races, and a seal for each hub plus a cotter pin and tang washer. Or we have the part # DBRKHW35EZ which comes with the correct bearings, seals, lug nuts, and dust covers for both sides of a 3,500 lb axle like you have. If you don't need the races or cotter pins (you probably don't) this would be the way to go.

  • Bearings and Seal Recommendation for Dexter 3,000 lb Axle
  • Thanks for the picture of the tag on your Dexter trailer axle. From that I can tell you have a 3,000 lb Dexter axle.

  • To Pick Out Trailer Hub Bearings Does the Hub Have to Be Totally Disassembled
  • I know it's not the news you want to hear, but the only safe recommendation I can make for you would be to find a place you can park your trailer, pull the hubs and get the seals and bearing numbers so we can get you the right parts. I know it's a pain and it leaves you with a trailer stuck on jackstands till you get the right parts but it's the only option. Hexagonal caps that are threaded are typically used on oil bath hubs. I would recommend you at least inspect all the components...

  • Recommendation For Brakes And Drums For WT20GAB Boat Trailer
  • Based on the information you sent, it looks like your inner bearings are Item # L68149 and outer bearings are Item # L44649 which are common for 3,500 lb trailer axles. I did not see in part descriptions the bolt pattern of your wheels but the most common patterns are 5 on 4-1/2, 5 on 5-1/2, and 6 on 5-1/2. I will make recommendations for all based on these bearings sizes. I have attached an article on "how to measure bolt patterns" in case you need it. For a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern,...

  • Replacement Bearing Kit and Tools to Install on 2014 Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailer
  • The Bearing Kit # BK2-100 should contain all the correct bearing, seals and races for 1 wheel. I always recommend pulling one hub apart and confirming the correct spindle. These fit the most commonly used axles under your 2014 Forest River R-Pod 179 but that is not a guarantee as manufacturers sometimes change components or the part were changed by a previous owner (See Picture and Article). A Seal Puller # PTW1219 will help you remove the old seal off the hub. The 7-Piece Installation...

  • Hub Assembly Recommendation for Ranger Trail Boat Trailer
  • I have attached a link to all of our trailer hubs that use # L68149 and # L44649 bearings and have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-247-50UC3-EZ. This hub features a grease cap that is compatible with EZ lube spindles that have a grease fitting out the end of the spindle. The galvanized hub is ideal for marine use, and will be durable enough for both freshwater and marine environments. This assembly comes with bearings, races, and a grease seal....

  • Disc Brake Kit to Fit Karavan Trailer with 3,750 lb Axles
  • The Kodiak disc brake kit you are wanting part # K2HR35D can be used on your axle but you will just need to go with a different seal instead, part # 168255TB. This has the same outer diameter as what the hubs fit but instead has the correct inner diameter for your spindle size. The bearings you need then are # L68149 and # L44649 like you mentioned as well.
