86 shorelandr trailer hub and bearing?

[slick2526]

I am having trouble finding the specs for sizes of new hubs,bearings,washer,cotter pin, and dust caps.

Went to the shorelandr HSOforum and found the exact model of my trailer but nothing to do with part specs. I want to have one full hub assembly on hand and replace/repack the bearings on the trailer and put on new dust caps

here is the specs

VIN Number: 1MDACCS13GE279575

Frame/Model: R12S 2X3

Model Year: 1986

Finish: WHITE

Mfg Date: 05/20/1986

Like I said I cant figure how to find the specs out from the site and I hope one of you can help me out. I don't have the trailer at home right now So I don't have any way of looking at it and figuring it out. thanks

Trailer bearings are somewhat standard. There are a handful of common sizes. IMO, the easisest way to figure it out is pull one of the hubs and measure. The bearings will be measured by the inside diameter of the bearing or the outside diameter of the axle. 3/4, 1, 1 1/16, 1 3/8, and 1 3/4 inch are the common sizes.

The seal is measured the same inside diameter of the seal or outside diameter the sealing surface.

Once you know the bearing size you can find a complete hub with your bolt pattern. Or you can find bearing kits complete with bearings, races, seal, nut, washer, and cotter pin.

I did a search for owners manuals this is what I found

If that manual is the correct one then your good to go.

Otherwise you'll remove the hub and bearings and write down the part # on both bearings.

If both inner and outer bearing are the same then you have a straight axle which is usually the case with boat trailers.

If the numbers are not the same then you have a tapered axle.

When you go to buy the kit or hub it'll go by size, 3/4, 1, 1 1/16, 1 3/8.

The numbers on your bearings can be cross referenced to which size kit or hub.

Better yet take one set with you and make sure that the ones you are going to buy are the same size. I have had trouble a couple of times getting a new outer cap to go onto the hub. Northern had what looked to be the correct size but it was a scotch too small. Very irritating.

had the same problem Tom and I even brought my bearing to Northern...got home half our drive later and had to turn around and go back to get another one. Now I have back-ups pre-packed hub/bearings and all in the boat so I won't forget the size and have a easy fix back up!!

thanks guys. I feel I better just take it a part and go to the store with the parts in hand because most likely I will buy the wrong stuff other wise.
