 Topic: trailer bearing race questionPosted: May-24-2016 at 9:59pm |

Hey all! I have a 1988 sn with the original trailer. I am changing out the bearings,races and seals. The outer races set back in all the way to the lip and seated in tight. When i punched out the inner seals i didn't see how far they set in for all the grease. The race that came out is a 25520 which is what i am replacing with. My problem is that it will not seat all the way to the lip like the outer ones did. What am i missing? Its the same part number. Thank you for any help!

25580 is the bearing and 25520 is the correct race
Do you have a bearing and race driver? That would be the best way to get it to seat properly. You may try freezing it then install it |

Most likely got it at an angle going in and caused a burr. Take it out and make sure the bore is smooth and try again,don't try to do it with one hit

I will regroup and give it another go. I do have a driver to use. Think i was talking myself into believing i had the wrong part. Thanks for all of your help!

Follow up- Had a couple small burrs that i thought could not have affected the seating. I was wrong and learned a lesson. Thank you gentlemen!
