Trailer Question

[BJ Laster]

What size of Bearings do i need for my 882 trailer? I driven the trailer for a year and a half. I'm very good to keep it properly greased. When I had my Ranger I always kept a spare hub with bearings (the pre-assembled type) for just in case. We never bought the spare hub for the Nitro trailer.



What size do i need to get? THANKS!!!!

BJ, my year 2000 882 trailer has Unique Functional Products disc brakes on it. The hub is part of the rotor on mine so i cant really pack a whole hub with me unless i carry the whole rotor(expensive and big). I do carry a set of bearings and races and the tools to change them i keep them pre packed with grease in a zip lock bag and i also carry a grease gun. Mine takes 1 1/16" bearings. I would check with your dealer to make sire what you have. I know sometime in the last few years Nitro changed from UFP brakes to Tie Down brand, i just dont know when. I dont know if the parts are the same across the two brands.

Check with the dealer. The tapered spindles on my 2001 Trailstar use two sizes of bearings.



As a last resort, take off the wheels and look at the spindle. If it is tapered, then you can probably figure out the two bearings from the Champion Trailer website. They carry the EZ lube spindles.
