Thanks for showing which side of the bearing goes in first. You would be surprised of the countless videos that don't even mention it. They just say "Now put your bearing in", then they slap it in without even being able to see what end went in first. It seems to be quite a critical step to pass over if a newbie were watching trying to do this themselves.
We are happy to help! It is very important that the bearing both taper in towards each other. www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hubs-and-Drums/etrailer/AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.html

First thing I did when I bought a new cargo trailer was out actual lignuts on the trailer wheels. I hate those open ended wheel nuts exposing the studs to weather. I installed a a quality lugnut with 60 typical cone taper and rated fro steel or alloy wheels.
Thank you for sharing this with us!! That is a great idea in order to protect the ends of the studs from weather and rust. www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hubs-and-Drums/etrailer/AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.html
You can also use a board and a mallet to tap it in place. You just want to increase the surface contact. www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hubs-and-Drums/etrailer/AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.html

You can get just the retainer in the following link or you can get a new spindle nut, washer, and retainer kit in the second kit. www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Redline/6-190.html www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Redline/RG05-100.html
He is referring to the spindle nut retaining washer. That is our goof that it was not clear. www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hubs-and-Drums/etrailer/AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.html
Good point! Now I'm curious of what the big screw driver looks like. I think what he meant was a screw driver with a small flat head so that you can get behind the cap.

Its a good idea to use a seal driver to make sure it goes on straight.
Drives it in crooked.
This is good to keep in mind thank you for sharing.

The guy's a little rough on the bearing cap. With a little finesse, its possible to get the cap on without denting it. A large socket sometimes helps.
You can also use a board and a mallet to tap it in place. You just want to increase the surface contact.

3:40 no rubber seal dressing (light smear of grease) step needed in addition it a very very light coat of grease on the matting surface?
Thank you for sharing this. We will keep this in mind for future videos.

Do not let hub sit cocked on axle ,have outer bearing already packed ready to put on while holding hub centered

You can get just the retainer in the following link or you can get a new spindle nut, washer, and retainer kit in the second kit.

The most important that we need to see is being blocked by your arm (1:53)?
Useless, can't even see it, just talks "take that off".
He is referring to the spindle nut retaining washer. That is our goof that it was not clear.
