[QUOTE="The Wirtzer, post: 320558, member: 11620"] Very good info. I've recently had to replace bearings on two utility trailers that were 'good to go' according to the previous owner. One set of bearings ground themselves into dust 15 miles out of a northern Minnesota town and required an angle grinder to get the inner race off. Did I mention it was December 31, just before sunset and it was the coldest it had been up to that point that winter. I finished the repairs with the help of a local resident, his angle grinder and a generator in minus 10 degree temps. That was the second bearing break. After that, I had a "bearing party". Every trailer I own got new bearings and, in one case, hubs. I truly hate trailers. They are a necessary evil, though, to haul my toys. Tim [/QUOTE]
