Quality Of The Bearing Kit For 1 Inch BT8 Spindle # BK1-100

Question:

I am looking to replace the bearings, races and seals for my 2000# Reliable torsion axle which has the Sure Lube hubs. I found your BK1-100 kit which I believe will suit my needs however I do have a concern about the quality of this product. The reason for my concern is the fact that when I price these items manufactured by Timken, National or Transcom the price range is between $60.00 to $85.00 for both hubs. I am a little apprehensive when I see a kit like this that sells for far less. How can you sell a complete bearing kit for less the the cost of the grease seals manufactured by the aforementioned companies? Are these bearing kits really comparable in quality to the other manufactures? I have always believed that you get what you pay for and dont want to have a major failure just to save a few dollars. Sincerely

The Bearing Kit for 1" BT8 Spindle, L44643 Inner/Outer Bearings, 34823 Seal # BK1-100 is a quality kit. It is one of the least expensive, but we sell so many that it keeps the cost low. These parts are very comparable to the manufacturers you listed, who make a larger margin on the parts. I know that I can't really tell you how great a product is that we sell without appearing biased, so I recommend you look at the reviews from customers to form your own opinion.
