Re: [OMC-Boats] Help! Trailer wheel bearing size?

Andy, I was hoping someone here knew the trailer wheel bearing size. Sorry if the title of my post was confusing. Thanks for your reply and when I find the size I'll post it. My brother reports that he's tried 1 1/16" and 1 3/8" without success. I've replaced bearings before and watching some generic video isn't going to tell me the size! -Doug Julien --- On Sun, 8/16/09, ANDY PERAKES <aperakes@...> wrote: > From: ANDY PERAKES <aperakes@...> > Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] Help!
