How to Confirm Which Bearings Are Required by Hub on Lippert Axle

Question:

Can you help me identify the inner and outer hub bearing sizes and part #s from Lippert Axle #132017? I cant find a listing for the 2,800 lb axle with Axletek hub #BD-545-17. The travel trailer is a 2008 Trail Sport company no longer in business. Any information would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

The surest way to know what bearings you need to replace those in an existing hub is to pull one of the hubs and to remove the bearings. Bearings typically have part numbers stamped onto them, as shown in the linked diagram. Once you know the bearing numbers it is easy to search our site.

Axles ratings typically go from 2000-lbs up to 2200-lbs and from there to 3500-lbs. We have no 2800-lb axles. All of our AxleTek hubs are shown on the linked page. I also linked a helpful article on replacing bearings.

As you select new hubs, be sure to match the weight rating to the axle and to match the bolt pattern to your trailer wheels.
