How to Pick Out a Bearing Kit for a Trailer
Question:
I have a 96 foot Mcclain trailer that has the 1straight spindles. The outer bearing has an O.D. of 1.778inch and an I.D. of 1.050. Will your bearing kit BK1-100 fit that spindle. The trailer model is L8-14KF and the load carrying weight is 2800 lbs.

Expert Reply:
In order to pick out the correct bearing kit you are going to need to remove both bearings from your hub and get the numbers off of them. You will also need to get the number off of the seal as well.
Based on the inner diameter of your outer bearing it seems there is a strong chance you have a number 84 spindle which would have an outer bearing of # L44649, an inner bearing of # L68149 which would mean you would want the bearing kit part # BK2-100.
The seal number would be # RG06-050 but should have 10-19 stamped on them. This seal has an inner diameter of 1.719 and an outer diameter of 2.565.
I attached a video on bearing and seal removal for you to check out as well.
