How To Find Replacement Hub Components For 2001 Trailer

Question:

HI I have a 2001 14,000 pound mid-atlantic trailer and looking for the axle grease seals , electric brake magnets and u-bolts. Are those parts anything that you can look up and point me in the right direction or do I need to do a little more research on the axles that are under it? Thank You

The best way to find the correct bearings, races, or seals for your trailer is to remove a wheel and hub and get the numbers off of the current components you have.

If you are unable to fid the numbers on the bearings or seals or races, you can use a digital caliper to measure the areas on the spindle of your trailer. I have attached a drawing that shows where the numbers can typically be found on the components and where you would need to measure if you are unable to find the numbers. You will want an accurate measurement of the inside of the hub bore as well to make sure you find the right size parts.
