Wheel bearings on my Sportsmen 14', I just picked this up a few weeks ago, thought it would be a good idea to replace and repack the bearings. Can anyone steer me in a direction on where to get these bearings? |

Go to Summit Racing and get nothing other than a complete set of Timken bearings and the Timken grease.

You wouldn't happen to have a part# would you, can they look up what I need on this camper? Your best bet is to simply pull a wheel and find the numbers on the bearings and seals. They are industry standard numbers regardless of brand. There should be a rating tag on the axle that can give us a good idea of what bearings you have. A visit to eTrailer's website should show the numbers, but don't buy the bearings there. I had multiple failures with those cheap Chinese bearings and will not use them again. Finding numbers this way likely will result in the correct parts, but to be 100 percent sure pull a wheel and check. |

There really isnt a need to replace them if they are still good. You should be able to pull the hub and check them out. Then, if they are still good, just clean and repack them. But if you are set on replacing them, they are not all that expensive. I don't think even Timken would set you back too much. Depending on how many miles you put on the trailer, they should outlast the trailer if you keep up with maintenance.

With cheap bearings, it all depends on luck.  |
