Trailer Hub replacement
I am sure this has been discussed before but cannot find. I am no mechanic but have watched a few you tube videos and it doesnt look that tough. I have a 2006 Triton TA 196 with a single axle stock trailer that has oil bath hubs. I am gonna be pulling it about 600 miles and since everything is original equipment plan to replace the hubs and bearings since they are 14 yrs old and probably never been changed. Can anyone tell me the best place to get what I need? Can I order as a kit? Hubs and bearings come separately? They are 5 lug hubs and Im guessing its a standard 3500# axle. I was planning to stay with the oil bath. Any suggestions appreciated.

Most of the auto parts stores carry the kits. I know for sure that Orielleys carries them.

I found a bad roller bearing in one of my hubs around the first of the year, so I replaced both hubs with C E Smith Galvanized Trailer Hub Kits that came pre greased with marine grease in neat little plastic cases. I kept the better of the two old hubs and put it in one of the cases for a spare, who knows, maybe someone in need. You can go to cesmith.com and find the part #, then price around. I got the best deal from amazon.com. New lug nuts, cotter pin, and all needed were included. Clean everything up well and work safe!

You'll probably have to pull a hub to match up part numbers on the bearings and seal. Some hubs have the same size bearings inside and outside and others have a bigger I.D. bearing on the inside.

No expert but why change the hubs if only the bearing is suspect? Are all the needed parts so close in price?

No need, unless there was a total bearing failure that either ruined one of the bearing journals or the seal race.
I do know that you can buy hub assemblies on ebay for ~35 bucks each, and the bearings alone for my trailer cost $25 per side at Autozone. Seems like an easy choice to me, 10$ gets you an extra hub and saves all the nasty work of cleaning and beating out old races.

No need to replace hubs, as said above, cone bearings and races can be replaced. If you have reliable oil bath hubs the seal alone are about $57.00
apiece. Have you ever replaced the oil in hubs ?
Bearings last alot longer in oil bath than in grease.
Have you put alot of miles on trailer ?
I did 4 trailers this week a shop 3 grease ,1 oil bath, customer with oil bath has had oil replaced every 2 yrs. You can pull tire off and take out Allen plug and drain oil in hub, smell oil to see if burnt, then rotate hub(spin) if you hear growl noise or it feels rough then you need to inspect, pull and push hub in and out if you have alot of clearance , then inspect.
If I don't detect any problem , I fill hub with 10w-40 if oil was burnt put plug in any spin,spin-spin, then drain. Reliable hubs call for 50w oil, at the shop we use 80w-90 and fill to about 3/4.
Also with tire off make sure seal is not leaking oil ,if so replace seal and inspect bearings and races.
