Does anyone know the Trailex front and rear bearing and oil seal size and where I can buy it? Is this available in stores that sells auto parts. Just wanted to replace mine this weekend. I already emailed Trailex for the specs but nice if I can get this from any auto part stores so I can finish this project this weekend. Thank you.

If you remove the tire and then hub, take the hub to your local auto parts store and they can match up the correct bearings and grease seal......measure the OD of the axle that the grease seal fits over.
A cheap Chinese bearing set, for both hubs are around $25, but a good American bearing set is twice the cost.......I replaced my bearings last year and went for the Timken bearings.....oil seals are low cost. Sorry, I don't have the bearings part numbers on hand.

Done replacing the bearing but kept the old bearing race as I was not ready/prepared to replace it. I'll replace it next time I change the bearing. The only issue was the bearing seal. I had to go out and look for the same seal I pulled from the hub ( all rubber). Reinstalled the bearing buddy and shot more grease.
Just making sure the one who would use the info I provided won't make the same mistake.

nap...bearings are made in matched sets and it really cheap to have a automotive machine shop remove and reinstall the matched bearing race for you.
My local NAPA store has an excellent internal machine shop, so I don't fuss about replacing the races.....it's quick and done correct.
Installing the grease seal is easy to do, in your garage after packing the bearings....unless you have them do it too.
Good luck!

Somehow, my Trailex SUT-350-AIT trailer came with EZlube spindles. The bearings are 1" ID; however, the grease seal ID is 1 1/2" instead of the typical 1 1/4". The hub dust caps should have been the type that have a removable rubber plug to facilitate grease application, but were not. After several conversations with Trailex, they provided me with the correct dust caps and grease seals. Thanks Trailex. I do not know if my spindles are one-of-a-kind, but I thought that I should let you folks know what I experienced.
