Sealed Trailer Bearing Availability

Question

Question:

I need to replace the wheel bearings in my bear Trailer. I would prefer a sealed bearing package similar to the one that came with the trailer. Can you help? The boat trailer carries a 2005 16 1/2 foot G3 bass boat.

We have a few sealed trailer bearings. If you have a Neverlube bearing setup on your trailer then you would want the # 31-72-3 for a 35 mm bearing, #31-73-3 for 42 mm, or # 31-71-3 for 50 mm.

The measurement that I mentioned for each bearing would be the inner diameter.

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…
