Question:

The trailer has 2 7000lb axles. Im looking for hub bearing/seal set. The axle does not use a cotter pin, but instead it has a washer that bends over the castle nut. What brand axle is this? Which bearing kit does it take?

We have two bearing kits that have the same bearing numbers you need. There is part # BK3-200 that uses the seal part 10-36 which has an inner diameter of 2.25 inches and then we have the part # BK3-210 that uses a seal with an inner diameter of 2.125 inches.

You'd have to look at what you have to know what would be needed.
