Rigid Hitch Trailer Hub Kit (BT-100-04-A) 4 Bolt on 4 Inch Circle - 1 inch I.D. Bearings

Through a local supplier, I was able to purchase these complete hub replacement kits for the price of cheap bearings. I was extremely satisfied with the fit and finish, which was far beyond what I expected for the After packing the bearings really well with marine grease, we filled the hub, installed the hubs on the trailer, then packed the grease into the final assembly by hand. We installed Harbor Freight bearing protectors and filled with marine grease until it came out of the weep holes We have been doing well since this combination was perfect one week and 1000 miles ago. Even if I tow the trailer a long distance, the hubs remain cool to the touch. Please take note Keep the castle nut from getting too tight. Then back the nut to the next hole for the cotter key after you have torqued it to spec. Be careful not to overload the nut to secure the cotter key. You will have premature bearing failure if everything is too tight. Why did I only give these kits a 4 out of 5 star rating? It's the packaging! The kits came packed in heavy cardboard boxes with the hub separated from the rest of the hardware, and the rest of the hardware thrown into a single In the box, the bearings, seal, dust cover, cotter key, and lug nuts were all rolling around in the same bag. The last thing I want to do is It almost didn't make sense for me to use these. Although I found nothing damaged in either kit after very close inspection, I could easily understand and see other reviewers' complaints about what was damaged or not usable when they received their products. A bearing should always be properly packed and should not be handled by anyone else.

I gave my son a Cycle Mate motocyle trailer that had the originals - the rigid hubs didn't collapse because of the tension of the axle. Legal system. The 1" non-slip ones fit the 5" ones There is no problem with the axle taper. It went smoothly when putting the rear seal, greasing the bearings, and installing the rear axle. Having driven it for a few short trips to test how good it was, I then pulled it behind my SUV for over 800 miles to see If properly maintained, they should last as long as originals. I tested them at speeds ranging from 45 to 80 mph and they stayed true to the originals, showed no signs of heating up, and I expect they will last as long as the originals. There was only one nit to pick the dust covers had to be sanded down because they were too large for the hub, but they were still more substantial than some aftermarket ones I bought A lot of work and time was saved with this program, so it was well worth the investment.

Due to the fact that I didn't have calipers to measure my spindle's diameter, when I received the product the bearings were too small to fit My mistake, but I'm not sure what would be the best course of action. My experience with the number on the invoice was pleasant. When I called, I was pleasantly surprised to speak to an agent who spoke excellent English and was understanding of my mistake. She then offered to send me the proper bearings, free of I had the best time ever. Her presence lifted my spirits for the rest of the We get it all at an unbeatable price, we get it all made in America, and we get it all for a great price.

There may be circumstances in which an item will not fit if it is described as one inch. The hubs appear in a variety of sizes, but they are usually 1" in size. The size of a penny is approximately . 060" (1 1/16). It is "980". A tapered spindle is one with an outer and inner bearing which is larger than the former. This hub is designed for use with This is a straight spindle that measures 980". I bought this replacement hub for the hubs that broke on my Harbor Freight cheap trailer and it is a great value.

In spite of the good hubs, the included bearing ( in both hubs ) failed within less than a year and in one It should be noted that the majority of you are familiar with either having or not having grease zirts on these types of hubs. You could possibly put a pound of grease in before the bearings actually come in contact with it. In any case, based on my experience, I recommend making a mileage log and using it as a maintenance guide and to check the grease repacking. It was possible to repair both hubs. However, the bearing baskets exploded on both bearings, aren't original Harbour Freigh units this hub/bearing assembly replaced survive for about 1/10 the time of original Harbour Freigh units.

My trailer is 30 years old, but I take good care of it Due to a long trip, I had to leave for quite some time This set is what I ordered It would be easier for me to reuse or replace the old bearing races with this process. There's nothing made in America - everything's made in Asia There was no grease, but they sent everything else. This is what Mob- did Grease dripped out and caked on the floor - Thankfully, I was able to get hold of Lucus grease. We had a great time on the long trip. I recommend it.

It's already rusting on one after a couple months of use, but they're so cheap and durable that they're worth it. Once your boat is serviced once a year, you'll catch the problem long before it becomes a serious problem, and for the price, a hub replacement is as expensive as replacing the bearings alone.

Kits of this quality are hard to find at this price. if you are looking for a kit with precut components, it will cost a little more It comes with greased bearings and is About 30 minutes were added to my schedule as a result of this. I only had a problem with the pin because it was way too large to fit in the slot. The fix is simple.
