Good Evening,We have an older Circle J straight load, mangers, ramp, etc. It is a 1989. Oldie but a goodie. How do we go about finding wheel bearings for it? Just pull a wheel, take it to the auto parts store and order 4 or is there a place to order for this trailer on line? We want to make sure we get the right ones. Thank you and our horses thank you as well.

Do not purchase the least expensive bearings at your auto parts store. At a slightly higher pricing, you can find several brand names that are available and are direct replacements. The bearings can easily be be matched by size, and the part numbers are stamped on the bearings' hubs. Replace the races at the same time the bearings are renewed. Make sure to the set the initial torque, and if you can, retorque them about a thousands miles later. Packed with synthetic grease, these new bearing can last as long as your ownership of the trailer.
