[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 223290, member: 642"] Bearings and races go together do not EVER replace the bearing and not the race and usually they are a set. Also when you are going to grease the bearing with a grease gun jack up the axle so the tire is off the ground and spin it while pumping grease into the grease zerk with a grease gun. I would take it in also and do the bearing/race & seal and have them totally cleaned out and replace with new grease. Also i would have them replace the bearings and races with Timken bearings and not the chinese ones. Big difference in materials! Not that big of price difference when going to Napa. If they don't have them they can get them usually overnight. Also the rubber plug that was torn you can get at Glenn's welding and trailer supplies in Bismarck. [URL]http://glennsweldingnd.com/[/URL] They have many things for trailers and pickups. Most things are on hand too. Plugs run about $1.30 and i buy them 15-20 at a time. Keep spares on hand in each trailer in a bag screwed to the wall on our enclosed trailers. If having a shop do it make sure it isn't a greenhorn doing the work so ALL the old grease comes out of the hub and they get packed correctly! Make sure they use Hi Temperature grease too. Good luck.
