GREENDOG

Most trailers run Holden or Ford wheel bearings even if they have Toyota or Nissan wheels and hubs. Take a bearing out and read its number and then go to CBC.

Wheelbearing kits are around the $16.00 mark

Supercheap sell both a cheap Chinese brand and also Timken. Timken are as Willem says about $16 each and the Chinese ones are $10... The choice is obvious Michael.

You can get all your bearings from CBC on North East Road Holden Hill (only speak to Brian - he's an absolute legend in the business). Just need the bearing numbers which should be 5 numerals, although some tapered roller bearings have weirdarse designations.

I reckon that Trak Shak are on south Road just south of Regency Road. Would be a good place to start.

You don't mention how old the trailer is. The newer chinese built units seem to have some weird bearing combinations so you may have to pull them out, get the numbers and go to CBC bearings or the like.
The older units, when built by Peter Kaesler, had suspension bits supplied by SA Trailer & Chassis on Port Wakefield Road Cavan.

And while you're buying a new set, get an extra set. Keep these, along with some bearing grease in a sealed bag in the camper. Our TS came with a spare set. You hope they never go but I had to do my boat trailer ones on the side of the road a couple of months back and it was just lucky that a tiny servo had one set of the right ones on the shelf. Now have a spare set for the boat as well.

I have got a set already packed with grease and vacuum sealed in the toolbox, with a spare axle seal as well
Saves any mucking around packing bearings on the way somewhere if you are unlucky enough to need to replace them on the trip.
