Bearing recommendation

Hello, thanks for all the previous help--time to do the bearings etc.

What size bearings and seals does one need for a 1980 Excella 31?
I'm sure axles are original and still have life(sitting tall)..also what size and brand of brakes would have been orig equipment..
Do the bearings need to be purchased from an AS parts store?

I'm making progress, couldn't have done it w/o the Forums help and moral support, Thanks.
Bud & Nan Lake Orion, Mi.

Your axle used a #42 spindle, with the drums Airstream used, this would spec out a 22580 inner bearing, LM67048 outer bearing and the grease seal would measure 3.376 OD fitting a 2.25 spindle wipe. One word of caution, do not change the bearings without changing the race, any race damage will transfer to the new bearing.
