hi
got an sbs trailer, bearings have had it .got it apart and the outer bearing has 3023a stamped on it but the inner bearing which is larger has nothing i can read on it
the other info i have is trailer ref no A/5/1560/1125/100
also the hub is stamped with

any ideas on replacement bearings thanks

Dino, knock both bearings out and take them to a bearing shop so they can match them up. We have a good one on London Road in Portsmouth, but it is probably a bit far from you. They will be able to meausre them and recommend replacements. Alternatively you could try SBS Trailers but likely to be a mark up involved.

thanks pete will give that a go ,if no joy will buy new axle from sbs as it now over 12 years old may be more cost effective to replace the whole lot already got new wheels to go on!

Blinking heck how much do you think bearings will be?????

last set i bought from BSL in hereford were £20 for both sides and seals.

its the time involved in sorting out what bearings are in there and the axle and hub is pretty rusty

"Blinking heck how much do you think bearings will be?????

.
Agree with doggypaddle.
.
I bought a set of brgs x4 (inner/outer and seals) for two wheeled trailer at Easter this year for £18.00 plus vat.
I explained the bearings where for a trailer and before I had given the shop all the number he was telling me the complete number, also he had loads on stock - no need to order/reserve. Made me think these are quite common and readily available.
.
Try yellow pages (yell.com) for local eng supplier or nearest bearing stockist (ie Swan Brgs/BSL/any transmission supplier - theres loads about and they are generally very helpful).
.
Quote them what numbers you have, id of brg, od of brg, thickness of brg, if you have any seals (usually on one side), their use - they will find the right one for you.

Bedford Bearings will sort you out in no time or even a local motor factor called Bedford Battery. I guess they will both do mail order, never had to do it myself as they are just locally in town. Both sides chip as chips, well about £20 with seals I think.

I always keep a spare hub with bearings in handy when trailing about ,just in case!
