I have a small Highlander (I think) trailer that needs new bearings and possibly hubs. The hubs are pretty rusted and the greese caps have been missing for a couple of years. (I launch at a private ramp at the camp) I have done wheel bearings before on cars, but that has been several years ago. Also will be replacing the bunks and a few bolts here and there, but that should go smoothly.
I am thinking about getting the hub kits like this https://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_13205_-1__?N=547047728 for a peice of mind and the cost isn't really that much more that just the bearings. Then you have to buy greese and pack them and all that.
Am I thinking correct that all I need to do is remove the old stuff, clean the spendle, and slide this kit on?
I assume I need to remove the old one to find out what size I need? Or is there another way to tell?
What kind of tools do I need to bring with me? I live about 30 min from the camp and want to have everything I need.
What kind of problems could I run into removing the the old hub and bearings?
Thanks in advance!
