Vintage Snipe Trailer Bearing





Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on what bearing I'd need for the above trailer wheel on a vintage Snipe. Wheel started turning with some penetrant but the bearings were corroded solid initially. There is a castellated nit and appeared to be what was left of a split pin on one side.

i guess there 4" pcd if they have the grease nipple in but i am familiar with 10 " wheels but not 100% re 8" but reckon if they are 4 inch pcd bearings are all same ???

If you really want to change just the bearing, you need to take the wheel and castellated nut off and see if there are any markings. If I recall correctly they are all the same, but you'd ideally check.

BUT - it's often easier/similar price/safer/worth it to replace the whole hub. You'd get a pair of hubs for £40 on eBay. (You'd probably pay about £15 for two bearings)
