[QUOTE="raider, post: 250347, member: 353"] there are only 2 sizes of bearings for that size trailer - take them off and measure with a mic to find out, or take the bearings to any auto parts store and they can measure them for you... i've had turbo lubes on 2 trailers, both have failed... i'm taking a 1 year old trailer in this spring to have them removed despite their 80k warranty, and replaced with regular greased bearings... if your bearings are in good shape when cleaned (no or little slop), repack them, reinstall, and put on solid dust caps... if they have visible lines or seem loose, replace them... a new set with seals and new dust caps and the grease to repack might run you $60, and if checked every 2500 miles will outlast whatever you are carrying on the trailer - period... been down this road 2 too many times already - just trying to save you a headache... fwiw, i have friends who buy new pj, gator, diamond c trailers with oil bath axles and immediately remove them and put on regular greased bearings, cuz if you're gonna pull them much, they just don't last... if bearing buddies seal as well as you hope they will, adding grease will push out the rear seals... add water to that - fine, for a while... when it freezes - failure... good luck...
