emetic Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi, I want to pick up a set of spare bearings for my trailer. It is a brooker trailer that carries a 4.5m brooker open boat. Does anyone know whether they would use ford or holden bearings. The axle is approx 50mm round. cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFB Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The wheel type has nothing to do with the bearing type. My boat trailer has Ford bearings but Holden wheels and my box trailer has Holden bearings but Ford wheels. The best way to go if you are not sure is to look at the number on bearing then use it to match to the right type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 yes i agree with bfb my old trailer had the same thing ho;den wheels /ford bearings ;;;;check the number Yep , the No's stamped on the bearings is the only way to go. The brand should also be stamped on the bearing. You may need to go to an actual bearing supplier & they can cross reference the No's & supply a suitable replacement set. If you go to a boating or trailer outlet they sell kits marked Holden or Ford & whilst the bearings may have No's stamped on the caseing it is unlikely they will be the same No's you have so you will be none the wiser.
