Bearings Query.....Long Shot!

Razorbill RIBs · 13 March 2012, 18:53

Quiz time..... this is a VERY long shot!

Can anyone who knows trailers hazard a guess at what bearings might be in these hubs (4 sets of them....its a twin axle).....

If there were several taper bearings it 'could' be I'd be happy to buy them all and return the incorrect ones.....

To make things even harder.....Make of trailer is unknown, what we do know is that the wheels /tyres are 4 stud 145 /80 R10 (need a couple of trailer spec tyres too).

If no one on the forum can help, does anyone know of a trailer shop which has lots of stock in /around Whitby?

OR does anyone know of a cheap flatbed /transport option we could chase up?

Thanks

Reckon they're:

Inner cone: L44643L (seal attached)
Inner cup: L44610
Outer cone: L44643
Inner cup: L44610

Drop a hub off (take out split pin, undo castellated nut, remove thrust washer) then take the hub off. Clean the bearings off with a rag and some cleaner / petrol / WD40 and then check the numbers on the bearing's cones against the above. If they match then the cups will too.

All the best.

You are a star..... like rainman for trailers

Can you supply /send off at v short notice (i can meet them in Whitby) when we know what they are?

Trailer Guy · 13 March 2012, 20:49

Sad, isn't it?... lol... Mind you, I may be completely wrong!

Sure, just let me know and I'll post them up.

Shall I take it I need a bearing puller to remove it?

Trailer Guy · 14 March 2012, 09:43

If you remove the brake shoes* you might be able to get a drift against the back of it and give it a thump to free it off. If not, yup, bearing puller.

* Don't forget to take a note of how they came off, so you can reinstall, if that's what you're doing...

chewy · 14 March 2012, 09:46

Dan is re-installing lol!
I'll acquire a bearing puller today....

chewy · 14 March 2012, 15:32

All I can make out is L446

set of verniers -

inside diameter 25mm?

knock out cup/race - outside diameter of this 50mm?
(NB. number should be nice and clear on these)

Both bearings same size?

Trailer Guy · 14 March 2012, 20:52

Right then, grabbed a packet of what I think they may be! Measuring up they're more like 25.4mm internal diameter, which is 1" in old money, which makes more sense. External is just over 50mm. Look similar?

All the best.

Bu**er... better check mine this weekend.

chewy · 14 March 2012, 21:41

That cup bit must be stuck in the hub, I'll see if it's in there tomorrow.... thanks for the help so far

Trailer Guy · 14 March 2012, 21:46

No probs! Have a look here: Trailer info

Scroll down to 'How to change a set of taper roller bearings:'

Bit bigger, but the principle of getting the cup / race out is the same!

Razorbill RIBs · 15 March 2012, 09:46

Thanks for all this..... I feel pretty guilty that you are both running round for me like this.........

Ben, will order as soon as we know whats what (do you supply tyres too?)

Chewy.... beers for you mate

Will text you later.....

Didn't realise they was an inner and outer race, the outer (closest to wheel) has L44643 etched on the back.
Over to you Dan!

So the race / cup has L44643 on it and the bearing you can make out L446... on?

Sounds unusual, as an L44643 is usually a bearing cone number, rather than a race/cup. Not to say it's not possible though!

I'll have a look through some of bearing lists. Did you manage to measure them?

Dan - I don't get involved with tyres I'm afraid, there's so many people who do them, locally to me, that I just go to one of them if I need any. Sorry.
