Also AmeriTrail sells these parts from their website and can tell you exactly what you need from your VIN number.
Thanks, I was trying their website this morning and it kept bombing with some connection error. I'll try again later or tomorrow.

Thanks for the info, I'm pretty sure that's probably what I need, but still gonna pull a wheel to check as I read somewhere that SPIND-O seals were used on AmeriTrail trailers. I don't know what year, but I kinda got gun shy when I read that. Etrailer is great, I always buy from them.

Thank you.
Did you call Ameratrail yet? Their parts prices are about the best I've found. Plus, you'll know you will be getting the right stuff.

Gonna wait till I pull a hub off, need to see if there is a Spindo seal or any other seal mods in there. I'm not the original owner of this trailer so gonna see what's there first. Thanks

Sometimes its works out cheaper and or the same amount just buying the complete hub. I buy from Tie Down and gave up doing customers wheel bearings, grease seals cotter pins and so on years ago. The hubs less time - less mess - ready to put on as a complete hub and they come packed with grease also alot less tools needed to complete the job. Plus its all brand new with a warranty and even comes with new nuts. Cost 40 to 90 dollars per hub depending on which one.

2 example of the many. Alot trailer hubs today are Vortex style and they are more expensive than standard hub kits. These prices are retail as well and I am sure on the retail side --- one can find even cheaper.

The kit I used was to replace existing disc or upgrade from drum brakes. If you have no brakes installed on the second axle I don't believe it's cortect for that application.

Thanks I need to do some research. Adding additional braking is on my to do list this year. With disc brakes it stops quite well but would like both axel to have brakes.
