Lost my bearings. 10" wheels.

Well, not lost....just noisy.

Can anyone tell me what bearings I need for my wee trailer.
10" wheels, no suspension. I ain't got a clue.

Thanks.

Two types . 4" & 100 mm. I took mine off and took it down to my local bearing shop. There's not much difference in the sizes so measure carefully.

Have a look at the bearings & seals to see what numbers are marked on them.

Excellent, I don't want to immobilise the trailer as I need to move it about my garage. I'd need to order stuff online as no local shop can get em any faster.

Is it an extream trailer? Suspension is in the axel rubber.
As breezeblock has said standard 1" stub don't forget to buy new back seals and plenty of grease.

its a shame your not closer to denny i have the bearing installer for them if you have a dig around ebay you will get them cheaper also its irrelevant whether you buy ping pong 2 cocks bearings or skf they still don't last any better sea water is indiscriminate good quality grease helps but it doesn't make them last that much longer

I change mine twice a year cheap bearings good grease new seals and carry a spare hub.

i thought about food grade bearings i.e. stainless steel but i don't know about the load rating i would need to check the charts and compare

beamishken · 26 September 2016, 22:51

Stainless bearings still rust in salt water we use them on sub sea equipment and they corrode when standing
At around a tenner per axle it's easier to just replace them regularly

Thanks for the offer.

ping pong 2 cocks bearings

Is that what I've to ask for ?

I tend to dry launch the wee boat and just wheel on the transom wheels. The bearings may have taken a pounding when i uplifted the boat and towed it 400 miles. Saying that, i cant prove the condition the bearing were in when i bought the trailer.

beamishken · 27 September 2016, 07:57

If you dry launch the damage to the original bearings was probably done before you bought it.The new ones should do many seasons and 1000s of miles if they don't get wet
You don't fit wheel bearings in a car every few months the only difference is you don't put your car in water

I carry a spare hub with new bearings, a simple 15 min job to change a damaged one and get rolling again, I just practiced doing it with somone that knew how... very very easy now..
