Replacement Bearings, Seals And Races For A JQ Tex Boat Trailer With 3,250 lb Axles

Question:

I have a J.Q. Tex marine boat trailer with 3250lb axles. Im looking to replace all bearings, races and seals. Will this be a standard 3500lb bearing kit?

Hello Charles, I can definitely point you in the right direction. The 3,250 lb axles SHOULD use the same bearings and seals as a 3,500 lb axle. It does kind of depend on when the trailer was made though. Some older trailers may not necessarily use the same standard bearing sizing, and unfortunately, I cannot confirm your bearing sizes just by knowing the weight capacity and make or trailer.

Your best bet will be to remove a hub and inspect the bearings. Each bearing should have a number stamped on the edge. Checking the bearing numbers is a surefire way to make sure you get the correct parts.

The 3,500 lb axles use the # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings. If this is what you have you can use the bearing kit # BK2-100. If you find that your trailer uses a different bearing combination, fell free to send me the bearing sizes and I am happy to make a recommendation.
