So when I drove my trailer home from my dads a month ago, I got stuck in a bad thunder storm. Wind was blowing, pushing the trailer and boat and the Jeep around a bit, or so I thought. I went to move the boat under the carport the next day and noticed the wheel bearings had disintegrated.
My boat is a '93 SN with the single axle trailer. It has the grease fitting on the end of the spindle of the axle and drum brakes. So I basically need every thing. Seal on the back side, inside bearing, outside bearing, washer, lock washer, castle nut, out side metal cover and the rubber cover. Since the bearings were destroyed dose anyone know what the part numbers of all the parts are? Can I get them at a local parts house? Thanks Britt ------------- '93 Ski Nautique (needs new interior) |

| I brought my stuff to a local auto parts and they found the replacement . It took them a while. To my surprise they were Mopar bearings. I have a 2001 Ramlin trailer single axle. Is failry easy to take them out also you want to inspect the spindle and see if any damage was done. The easy way to remove the rear seal is to remove the front bearings, put the nut and washer. Then you pull the drum and the washer hits the rear bearing and the seal comes right out. |

Britt, Here you go.
Inner and outer bearings Napa BR25520 SKF NAPA BR25580 SKF Rear Seal 22558 SKF Don't buy the cheap stuff, they don't last. Napa will be able to match up new races with the bearing for you. Take your old hub in with you. Also buy a tube of Green Grease, it works great at keeping the water out of the bearings. Green Grease was developed for the off road truck market, you can find it at Advanced Auto. Paul |

Factory CC Trailer----You might have the 1"shaft-- So yes take one of your hubs with you but these #'s are the National Seal #'s from CARQUEST,where I work.
Bearing---BRG L44643 Race------BRG L44610 Seal------SLS 471750 Bearing and Race Set BGS BA-4 If it is this common Brg and Race---you can buy them at Wal-Mart as a set for about $10, for the 1" shaft. Correct shaft measures 1.250-- ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

Thanks for all the quick info guys. I'll get some measurements and start hunting parts.
For your enjoyment here are some pics of the disaster.

Did your brakes work on the trailer? That looks like brake fluid leakage. Brake fluid will eat the paint up quickly where ever it touches.You'll need a new axle nut too!And the washer also.Check online and see if this # comes up.It might be a Valmar # or something like a Sierra #----I think it's 80612.I think that's a kit for the assembly. ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

Might be needing a new hub also, that castle nut can damage the surface where the bearing buddy or the cap sets and they will not stay on. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Take your backing plate off and get it into a parts washer, you can clean those brake shoes but they may never work like new again.
I would also go back with a speedi sleeve for the inner seal because running it like that for as long as you may have I would bet you've scored the seal surface on the spindle and it will leak grease for ever, a speedi sleeve will fix that. The green grease suggestion above is what I'd put back in, that stuff is remarkable. Get in the habit of inspecting the bearings every fall before you put the boat away. Worse thing you can do is have a leaky seal and let that water sit in there all winter, the bearing cages will rust and fail every time. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Britt,
Looks like you may have some rust on the spindle. When you clean everything up and repack your bearing make sure you coat the spindle with green grease and then pack the hub full. This will help also with keeping the water out of your hubs. Paul. |

| As long as you are doing that side, it would be a good idea to inspect/replace the bearings and seal on the other side. |

Instead of guessing on what size the bearings are why not pull the other side and get the numbers off them. The numbers will be stamped on the side.
As stated earlier I would change the other side also. |

Well I finally got around to fixing the trailer.
Had to take off the other side to get the bearing part number. Ended up ripping off all the brake parts since they have never worked anyway. Got every thing I needed to do both sides from etrailer.com 
Thanks for all the suggestions and encouragement to do both sides ------------- '93 Ski Nautique (needs new interior) |

So far looks like it may work. Dug up bearing numbers and seals part numbers and both use the same thing which is positive. Also the calipers are simple to remove. ------------- http://topstarttrailers.com.au" rel="nofollow - Semi Trailers for Sale |
