Good how-to, for those who have never done it.

Always use bearing buddies or similar, I have not lost a bearing in 25 years.

Also, put nevaseez on the back of the rim where it contacts the hub, and of course on the studs and lugs.

Suks if you get a flat, have a spare, but can't get the flat one off the trailer.

I have 4 stainless berrin buddys I ordered for my new trailer!!

But load rite has a new super lube system that seems to be working great!!

So I have no use for them Sandman, I can make you a great deal!! They have never been used.

What size you need?? These are part # 1980A-SS for use with 1.980 hub bore.
