In today's video we will be replacing the bearings, races and seals on a boat trailer. We will show step by step how to remove the hub, how to pack the new bearings, how to remove and install the new races and seal and reassemble the hub back on to the spindle. This process will work for boat trailers, utility trailers and travel trailers. We also will be showing how to check and fill the trailer buddy bearing saver system. Trailer Buddy is basically the same thing as the Bearing Buddy.

This is THE BEST video explaining and showing how to change trailer wheel bearings. Nobody else talks about how to remove the inner bearing by pulling on the whole hub: ingenious! Also, you don't use fancy presses to get the races in and out: just simple tools and a work bench, like most of us have access to. I used a flat piece of wood to tap the sealer ring in, rather than the specialized tool you used. Thank you for a super teaching video.
Thank you SO much for that comment, I really appreciate it!! My dad is a retired high school auto shop teacher so he knows all of the old school tips, I really like it when I can talk him into participating in a video!! Thanks again for the great feedback!!
Thanks a lot mate, people like you helps people all over the world spending your day doing the service, filming, editing and posting. God bless you!
How in the world could anyone give this a thumbs down? This is a perfect step by step instructional video! Great job and thank you.
I appreciate this comment SO MUCH!! it always blows my mind that people still find the need to hate on someone just trying to help people out for free, LOL. Best comment I have ever received, Thank you!!!!
Your Dad is awesome.... thanks for a great video and old school technology, simple tools, and a great instructor that demonstrates.
Glad the video was helpful!! Thanks for the great feedback, I will be sure to let my dad know his old school methods are still appreciated!!
Anybody that needs to do their bearings.... NEEDS to watch this. Its a great video.
I especially love and appreciate your dads explanation on how to pack a bearing. Thats the right way to do it for sure.
Thanks for the great feedback and glad you liked the video!!
Father son video great job. I finally got to see and understand how to pack the baring with grease.
Thanks for the great feedback, I really appreciate it! I like when I can get my dad involved he is a retired High School Auto Shop teacher he has all the great old school knowledge!
Yes I remember that video. The Bob Ross of that shiy.
Great video. Your Dad is a good instructor. Going to inspect my bearings now.
Thank you! He is a retired high school auto shop teacher so he has a good background for this, I like when I can talk him into participating in a video!
Great video, thank you! 4:02 to 4:08, maybe it is perspective, but doesn't look like it goes through the center of the spindle.
Good video. HINTS Place race in freezer then use a block of wood on outside edge of race to hammer till the race is even with top of hub ( race goes in easier). Now use a socket that is just a little smaller than the hub opening yet makes contact with the race all around. Pound on the socket to seat the race in the hub.
Thanks for the tip!!
You can also use the old race. Cut a slice out of the old race with a grinder and pound it in with a block of wood. The slit in the old race ensures it will come back out easily.
Great tip from your Dad on tightening the nut all the way to get everything seated, then backing it off for final adjustment!!
Thank you for the feedback, my dad is an OG when it comes to this stuff he will glad to hear his advice was helpful, thanks for watching!!
I just got into the parts business and I just want to say thank you. You literally broke it down to a point to even a dumb dumb could understand
Thank you!! I hope it helped all skill levels!
Clearly your pops was a great teacher. Nice work. Greetings from Loveland Colorado.
Like father , like son , you two together made an awesome step by step video on the complete take down and rebuild of bearing/racer and seals replacement. There is no video too long when you are learning how to do something. The problems that arouse during the video was golden , because we the viewers would need to see what to do next under those circumstances. You, your dad and Jesus will be along side me as I tackle my hub bearing replacement project, ( the 3 wise men ) Thanks bro!
Wow thanks for those kind words and great feedback!! Glad the video helped and good luck!!
The last person that owned my boat trailer apparently didn't Grease the bearings before driving 60 miles to deliver it to me, the outer hub on one of the wheels was so ground out from a failed bearing, that the new bearing race wouldn't touch the walls inside the hub. I had to grind the teeth off of an Old fashioned holesaw, and cut it to make a sleeve for the outer bearing race (the one next to the castle nut) to fit tightly. It worked great!
Very helpful thanks! Old school dad 😉 greasing the bearing was the best! Thanks dad!
Best tutorial I’ve seen for this project
Wow, Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such a great comment!!
May have been a long video, BUT that was one of the BEST educational videos I've ever seen, your dad did a great job. Simple and all steps were covered. My trailer has a leaking seal that I was dreading doing, not now. Thanks guys👍
Awesome, thanks for the great feedback!! My dad is a retired high school auto shop teacher, I love it when I can talk him into participating in a video!!
Freaking awesome brother you and your dad working together and actually explaining and teaching great work……A little old school techniques and New school……great job you guy’s
Thanks for the great feedback!! I always like when I can talk my dad into participating in a video, the man is full of DIY knowledge!!
Yes, great vid. Watched it primarily for a perspective on reinstalling the hub and found it very practical. Great job and thanks!
For real, thank you!!!! I don't think my trailer had been serviced properly before I got it and the racers basically fell apart they were so old. I was very confused how to put it all together, so thank you so much!!!
Awesome, glad the video helped you out!!
Great instructions. I'm doing my trailer in the morning. Your video was very helpful.
Thank you!! I really hope the video helped you out with your trailer!! Thanks for the positive feedback and thank you for watching!!
Thank you and your dad. I learned a lot and will apply this to my boat trailer.
Awesome glad the video helped!! Thanks for watching!!
Great video, very detailed, and AWESOME that you could involve your Dad. Those old-school tricks like packing the bearings are an art and I'm glad to have seen it from a Master!
Thanks for the great feedback!! Some times Old School is the way to go!! Thanks for watching!!
What a great video. To the point, no BS, well done!! Thank you. Hanna Trailer Supply in Wisconsin is also and excellent source for trailer and RV parts
Thanks for the great feedback and recommendation!
Very helpful. Now I know how to pack wheel bearings and I won't have to take my trailer to have it serviced. A real money saver. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and the good feedback!!
You made very nice video and I love that you got your dad to share his years of old school knowledge, like hand packing the bearings and how to preload and set the tension. I remember most of his tricks when I was young gal working on old drum brakes. I think these days it is important to use a seal, bearing and race installer tool instead of a steel punch as the punch will deform the metal. I remember using a socket or sometimes the old bearing, but so easy now to go to local auto parts store and get the free or cheap rental on the proper install tool to avoid damage to new parts. It is easy to misalign and ruin the seal, ask me how I know. I think it is always good to plan to check the tension on the bearings and to tighten up the manual adjusting brakes after a short distance as they will likely be loose after seating in from road travel.
Thanks for the great feedback, I really appreciate it! I like when I can get my dad involved he is a retired High School Auto Shop teacher he has all the great old school knowledge!
great video thanks , needed to know how to put it back together with out taking another wheel off. thank you for your video, and your Dads training
Glad the video helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
My trailer bearing blew out yesterday, just ordered new hub assembly and a bearing buddy. NEVER done it before and I was kinda stressing until I watched your video! I’m ok at working on my truck and stuff so if I don’t have to take it in I’ll do it myself and this video has made me know I overthink this and I’m ready to replace both on my trailer. Thanks!
Nice I hope it worked out for you!! Thanks for watching and based on your profile pic, Thank you for your service!!
@@MileHighCampers thank you for your support! Yes it helped a lot made it super easy to do. Took me like 30 mins to do both wheels
Awesome glad you hear you got it done!!
Thanks Fellas, well done. I especially liked the old school way of packing the bearings with flicking the bearing into the palm of the gloved hand and gobbling up grease and then reversing. Clever.
Thanks for the great feedback, glad you liked the video!
When taking out the back bearing seal you can take a 1/2 socket and hit it with hammer to get it out theback
Thanks, thorough video. Didn't leave me with any what if questions.
Right on! Glad to hear the video helped you out!!
Thanks!! I was kinda scared to beat the hub with a hammer but you eased my mind!
Hope the video helped you out!!
To me I saw too things. 1) Using a thin layer red hi-temp sealant on bearing seals. When done correctly, leave a nice red ring when excess wiped away after hammering in. 2) putting grease in the bearing buddies til maxed out. I have seen that cause more issues on boat applications than not. Pumping grease in until the blue indicator pushes out maybe half way to max is fine and prevents excessing pressure on seals when the hub heats up from travel. Otherwise, awesome video!!
Outstanding! Thank you for a clear demonstration with helpful tips!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video guys, something I had never done but your explanation made it easy.
Good video, really enjoyed it and great it showed the step many miss out, replacing the outer races. Only thing I'd say, my dad always taught me not to use a carpenters hammer for auto work.
Thanks for watching and the great feedback, glad the video helped!
Outstanding video, covered a-z!
Thanks for the feed back, I appreciate it!
use the old race to hammer on to install the new race
Great tip, Thank you!
Thank you for the video,I did my bearings today and after watching your video I was having a hard time putting the outer cap on and realized I put a seal behind the larger washer,oops 😂
Very helpful video!
But did anyone else hyperventilate when he tightened the nut with channellocks after all the great detail work??
Very good instructional video.
Thank you for the feedback!!
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for!
Awesome. glad to hear the video helped you out, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!

This is great and has an old school feel but in my experience you should we use a rubber hammer and deadblow on some parts or wood block
That is a great tip, thanks for sharing!

great video
thanks a lot fantastic explanations
dam good instruction
Thanks for the great feedback!!
Great video, it's a lot of work but on a boat trailer that's in the water a lot it's critical. Good job.
Thanks for the positive feedback!! Thanks for watching!!
Great video! Question: If the bearings(rollers) aren't seated properly after taking out are those completely damaged?
Nice video. I need to do this on my flatbed trailer. I have a couple wheels that feel loose. Maybe when I get home from our 1 year Adventure. Never done it before. This video helped understand the process. 🤙🏽
So I was watching another youtuber last month and he was triple towing and the bearing went out on his boat trailer and it caused a small catastrophe for him. So it was a huge reminder for me to check my trailers!! Thought it would make for a good video for people. I ordered a spare set of bearings to keep in the truck at all times, LOL!! Online prices much better than the Auto Parts Stores. Thanks for watching!!
My buddy had his horse trailer bearing lock up. Said the trailer jumped 5 feet in the air doing 65 down the road. Almost wrecked. Crazy things happen.
Wow, that would be scary!!
Great video. So it's not necessary to fill the whole area between bearings with grease?
Enjoy your video but have as question about the rear seal does it ride on the spindle or against
When you pump in the greases, make sure that the greases inside the hub and the greases from grease gun match. There are too many grease types and they may not compatible,
Good tip, thanks for sharing!
Great video. However I have a trailer hub that has no indents to put a punch to knock the races out. There is literally no place for the punch to grab onto the race. Do you have any suggestions on how to get these races out? It’s on a Karavan SeaDoo jetski trailer. Thank you.
Fantastic video thank you! Where did you get the lugs for your wheels?
I’ll never understand why simple trailer bearings require so much attention. Even a crappy car can get 100,000 miles and never have to grease the ‘sealed’ bearings or having to replace them.
But you’re not always Dunking your car in fresh or salt water are you.
Guess you aren’t in favor of preventative maintenance.
@@xSeadoggerxi dunk the trailer in water a few times a yr. I drive the car bearing in rain much more than that
Your car doesn’t weigh 8,000# or more ! some 5th wheels can weigh 12000 # or more !
@@sharonsouthern2365But even tiny little utility trailers are set up like this.
I’m curious why you didn’t use the race and bearing tool on n the inside but you used it on the outside?
Good tips, Dave!
Thanks for checking out the video!!
awesome video! How do I know how to pic the right hub kit? I have a small boat trailer for my 1546 flat bottom boat.
Check out this video, it might be able to help answer your question.
ruclips.net/video/TajYcbNo428/видео.html
Good job.
Thank you for the positive comment, hope the video helped you out!
I found there is a couple kits... how to know which is the right one?
great video...if I need to replace a grease seal how do I know which one fits? I've damaged one I thought fit...can you buy the one compatible with the bearing and be ok? doesn't seem to go in easily is this normal?
very good, PEACE
Thanks for the feedback!!
Thanks im going to try this i have squeaking sound
Shouldn’t you use a rubber mallet to knock the race back in instead of a hammer?
How do you know the size to get for the bearings?
Great detailed info. Was looking for info so I can check my kayak trailer. Is there any such thing as a waterproof bearing housing so I can back my trailer into the water? I bought it used and have been careful not to put the tires into the water.
Thank you
To be honest I'm not sure. These were the hubs that came with my boat trailer, but there is not really any difference that I could see that would make them different from any other trailer hub, except that these had the trailer buddy system, which can be added to any hub with the same diameter. My hunch is that as log as you have the bearings packed and use a marine grade grease you probably would be ok... but that's just my opinion, you may want to search around to see what other thoughts are out there on the subject. Sorry I could not be more help.
Mile High Campers thank you very much for the reply
So do the seals have to against the bearings? Will the cap push the outer seal in to where it has to be? Or should it be set first?
