Replacement Nev R Lube Bearing Kit Recommendation for Trailer with Hub/Rotors # K2HR79XLDE

Question

Question:

I have a trailer wheel bearing on Kodiak XL-Lube disc brake kit part number K2HR79XLDE running a little hot. When eTrailer installed this kit in August 2017 I assumed that they used Nev-R-Lube 031-071-03 but it now appears that I assumed wrong. What bearing and associated parts should I know about should I need to replace the bearing? Do you have a video or write-up for the replacement procedure?

If you did have the K2HR79XLDE installed it is comes with and is designed for Nev-R-Lube bearings. For a replacement you'd want the part # 31-71-3. Why do you think you have a different requirement?

I spoke with my contact at Dexter regarding the Nev-R-Lube Bearing #31-71-3 that you will be replacing. He stated that you will just need a 1-1/2 inch socket for the 1.42-1.44 inch nut. This is the same size socket needed for a standard spindle nut.
