Recommended Bearing Kit For Adams Drift Boat Trailer That Uses Bearing W/ 1.06 I.D.

Question

Question:

I have an Adams drift boat trailer. The sticker says 1200# axle. I could not find a number on the bearing, unless its on the outer race. I want a replacement bearing kit with 2 additional seals i once damaged one through personal error. Also there is no cotter pin hole in the spindle - it has a claw style retainer and I would like 2 new ones. The existing bearing ID mics out at 1.06inch The spindle is 1.06inch as well. The spindle nut is 1 7/16inch OD from flat to flat. The bearing buddy cap is about 2inch dia. Another question - the spindle has a zerk that services the back bearing - can i really expect to grease the front bearing this way as well? Can you help me?

Thanks for the measurements!

Since the I.D. of your bearing and O.D. of your spindle is 1.06" your 1200lb axle on your Adams Drift Boat Trailer uses the # L44649.

For a replacement bearing kit we have the Bearing Kit # BK1-150 which includes two # L44649 bearings, a spindle washer for Ez Lube spindles, and a grease seal, but you will need to confirm which grease seal your spindle uses.

You can do this by measuring the spindle where the seal rides which tells you the I.D., and then the hub where the seal gets installed which will tell you the O.D.

The # BK1-150 includes a grease seal that has an I.D. of 1.500" and an O.D of 1.987". As long as this matches your spindle and hub the included grease seal will work perfectly.

For two additional seals you will need # RG06-020.

The EZ lube spindles with the zerk fitting for greasing the bearings will absolutely keep your inner and outer bearings lubed, though it is a good idea to go ahead and still pack them when installing new ones.

I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…

Based on the GVWR of your 2019 Jayco North Point 315RLTS it does seem like you have 7k axles. I recommend verifying this information to be sure. These axles typically use the #14125A outer and #25580 inner bearing found in the Timken #TMK92VR.…

EZ Lube axles like the item #T3584F-EZ-8974 come from the factory with just a little bit of grease in the bearings. The first time you use the EZ Lube feature to fill the axle, it will take a lot of grease. You will probably use 3/4 to a full tube…
