What do the other bearings/spindles look like?

Outer bearing was totally destroyed, just bits and small pieces left of it. The outer race was cracked, chipped and gouged. The beginning of the thread shows the condition of the spindle.

I have identified the bearings I need. The bearing set needs to be 1-3/8" inners and 1-1/16" outers.

Use Mystik JT 6 High Temp red when you go to grease those hubs up !!

Lil Kenny & I towed his LuCraft to the keys four years ago on a bad
bearing down and back.....

As always at every stop would check tires and hubs, all seemed good.

On the way down from Area 442 just before getting on the Turnpike
above Miami a concerned driver was pointing to the trailer..

We pulled over and checked everything, no problem found.
Tires and hubs cool as a cucumber....
Got to Skip & Carla's, same no obvious problems ..

When we got back to Area 442 a week later and the trailer
was backed in on the pad in front of the shop, I noticed the
left 12 inch tire was tilted in....

Low and behold inner wheel bearing was gone..

With any other grease we would have been on the side of the road..

I swear by the RED JT-6 !!

It is even sold at Walmart and Tractor Supply..
