If you can't install this yourself, and are having someone else do it it is probably your best bet. Otherwise I would save you money and pack the bearings with the blue marine grease-at Kagens, pet boys, etc. for a few $'s and pack the bearings.

Also, is this salt or fresh water and seasonal or year round? Think of these things. It very likely that a properly packed wheel bearings will do just fine. I been around boats, long before the bearingbudddy was born. They did just fine on the old fiberous bearing grease.

Another problent: The seal that retains the greans on the axle can cut a grove in the axle. Periodic inspection replacement will avoid or detect this. that seal could be as cheap as a few doallars.

If someone else works on you trailer, ask them to save all the old parts and give them to you in a box. This lets them know you'll be looking at the old parts the produce per the new ones they sell you.

Answer 3

To find that part you will need to have the part number for the seal. Go to either a RV trailer place or marina and give them the number. They should be able to supply you with the proper repair sleeve for that seal. You might also check around the various auto parts store in you area, too. I know NAPA used to sell them.
