Ok, after closer inspection the bearing cups were removable. I removed both inner and outer cups, bearings and seal. Ordered all new. Should have the new parts on Tuesday.

New parts arrived today, put it all back together and all is well. Crisis averted. lol I also installed the battery and wired in the breakaway switch and added the 12v power wire to the 7-way to keep

I don't mind the heat, the wife on the other hand....... She's gonna want to know why a Harley don't come standard with air conditioning. Lol
I know this should be a no-brainer, replace the bearing and race or just get a new hub. Not that easy.
The trailer in question was built by myself starting with an old camper. I tore off the shell, reenforced the frame and installed a wooden deck. Its a 2 axle (axles are old dexter 3500lb axles with the Dexstar wheels) front axle has elec brakes. rear axle is just a plain hub. One of the rear hubs had a rough bearing. Once removed i find that the larger inner bearing is bad, the bearing race is pitted as well. UGH! I need this trailer to haul our motorcycles on an upcoming trip to Florida, about 2500 miles round trip. I contacted etrailer and have had no luck as of yet. Kind of hitting a wall here, we leave in 15 days.
Anyone have an old camper sitting out back? LOL
any thoughts?
This is the hub.
I believe they were a 4-9.44 hub meaning 4 bolt, 9.44 bolt circle. old school stuff. lol
