Repacking bearings for the first time...

I have a 1990 (maye 91) excella 29.
Does anyone know what axle or part numbers I need for doing this?


hopefully its just packing and the bearings are ok and also the breaks.
But any and all part numbers and hints are welcome.



Guess there will be
a grease seal
2 bearings
cotter pin
brake assy ( heard you buy the whole thing nowadays)

Lots of options depending on history and condition of the trailer. Worst case would be to replace the axles which would get you new everything.

Well, since I got no help, I pulled a wheel and this is what was on my axle.
So, in case some other poor SOB comes here, they might find this.

The components are common trailer bearings and seals. We have a place that makes trailers here and they have all that stuff. Other places would be RV places and auto parts stores. You can also order stuff off amazon and etrailer.com. I would recommend you get a bearing packer and use some good Moly grease. This a cheap double cone thing that you sandwich the bearing between and pump it full of grease with a grease gun. Add more grease to the races and the cavity between bearings but leave some space for air and put grease in the grease cap. Clean stuff real well before packing.
