D-Rays bearing videos are the most comprehensive with no BS. Don't waste your time watching any others, these are the only ones you'll need! Thanks, D-Ray!

I've been checking out several vids on how to do this procedure. This two-part was by far the most informative and clear. It gave me the background to figure out things for myself - I like that. Thanks for a well produced and easy to follow explanation.

Thanks for this, you are the only person I could find who did a full teardown and rebuild including driving out the races, and going out to buy new parts. Really helpful in doing a rebuild on my utility trailer.

These two videos were a big help,thank you and cheers from Canada.

Best trailer bearing video on KZfaq. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Besides a great how to video showing how to change out the bearings, you gave an awesome explanation of the two common boat trailer bearing lube systems and how to use them. Perfect video.

recently needed to repair my trailer bearings. This video was absolutely clear and made things much easier.

Outstanding video..where were you 40 years ago when I was teaching myself how to do this on my trailer...and!!! I learned how to really do it right!!!

Thanks for taking the time to make the video DRay. Nicely done with some great tip. GR from Australia

Reinforced what I was taught a looooong time ago. Excellent video! Love his French accent lol.

Jumping over to pt 2! Very clear and easy to understand. Exactly what I needed.

As everyone else has mentioned, this is an excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to put it together! (Now I am off to watch Part 02!)

Great Video D-Ray. You sure helped me learn the process.

Excellent video! I'm a Michigander but about 20 years ago I briefly moved to Searcy and l found the people surprisingly friendly and really enjoyed exploring the area and seeing the natural beauty. I lived west of town on 405 and the hills out there were quite scenic. I once visited the Heber Springs area and thought that would be a great place to retire. Arkansas in general gets a bad rap for being backward and full of hillbillies, but if you give it a chance and come there with an open mind, you'll find it's a pleasant place and definitely worth a visit. Keep up the great work!

Awesome video. Thank you for making this!

I am always passing thru searcy arkansas. kind of cool that i happenstance'd on your video. Beautiful country out there

Just re-did my bearings using this video. Followed it exactly, no problems and I am good to go.

Great video, lots of info, thanks for making this!

Great video and very well explained. Sometimes I just replace the hub as well.

“Got a little water coming out of ‘dere’, that ‘doedn’t’ look good, does it??” No it don’t! Funny, informative trailer bearing video!! Nice job!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome video. Thanks for the information!

D-Ray, you da best, I could listen to that lovely accent all day.

Fine job. And you have a pleasant, engaging manner.

Thanks for the video. I'm changing the bearings for my boat trailer now.

This is the definitive video on the subject. Please make many more. Bravo! How can you drive into town if you don't have your bearing?

2019 and this video is still helping people! Thank you!

Great video. Very well explained!

Great Video thank you! Great music too.

The piece of plywood underneath, when removing the hub, invaluable!

Excellent video. After viewing other video's on trailer bearing service your video is the best. You are the first to show how to pre-check the lateral bearing travel with the tires on. The step by step instructions, guides even the novice in making such repairs. The close-up views are excellent, especially when showing the viewer the wear on the inner races. Thanks Again

Hi Mr Smith, I tried calling you leaving a message over this past week but unfortunately I never received a call back. However I wanted to thank you personally for the videos you put out here and part two. We have successfully completed a full replacement of new hubs and bearing sets thanks to your videos on a tandem trailer I own. We were confused a tiny bit on a older model system hence the call to you however figured it out thankfully. Thank you once again for all that you have taught with your outstanding teaching skills .

GREAT JOB MY FRIEND !!!!

He man this is a one hell of a video, thank you for your time and effort.

Great video. Any videos on repairing a drop spindle? Having trouble figuring out how to square it up perfect to weld them back on.

Right on man, thanks for taking the time to make the video. Looks like I'll have a winter project for my double-axle trailer. =)

KILLER VIDEO!!! THANKS!!!

thanks for the diy ! well done

Excellent video sir. Thank you so much! I'll be doing my trailer bearings today.

I bet a lot of work went into making such a smooth, simple video. Best bearing removal tutorial out there hands down.

Fantastic job

Great super video! Thank you!

At 6:55 into that video you said "I'm not gonna be very careful..." and whoops with that screwdriver, at least you didn't hit the red stuff. Great video!

Thanks D-Ray! This vid helped me get my bearings. Hubba Hubba!

excellent video, step by step instruction, I bet I can do it myself now , thanks a lot

Great job thanks for you time

Excellent video sir

Life saver! Thank you sir!

Grate video.Thank You Sir

Great video. Can't figure out why 15 people thought of giving it a thumbs down. I'll just add that to another one of those life mysteries.

Thank you Sir for a good video.

Excelent video!

Thanks! Needed some guidance on this.

Thanks Again

Great video love my G3👍

Great video!

D Ray you the man

Great video thank you

well done thanks alot

Best bearing replacement to date.

To ALL of you so-and-so people who try to make a "how to" video, THIS is how it is done!! Show every step, explain every step, speak clearly and give as many options as possible.

Love your Hill Billy accent!

Lucky your reese,s came out that easy. Had a inner that was rusted in good that took some pounding ! Ha. Lets get fishing ! Cheers

Great video.. Q: How will I know what size of race & bearings to get ? Are they all the same on trailers ? thanks

great!Thanks

Thanks for this great video.well explained. From raymond smith...lol

What’s your way to handle a broken grease spindle? My spindle snapped off when regressing...? Thank you sir

D-Ray......U r the Truth man!!! Oorah brother.....Oorah!

Thanks, buddy :).

"Can ya hook a brother up?" "Let's get it done."

helpful -thanks

Can you swap out the bearing buddies with the spring with the more traditional type?

I didn’t know that Sunrise had bearing kits. Would’ve been there a week ago - good to know for next time

you can remove the rear race and the seal by hitting on the inner race punching on the outer race, knocking out the seal first then the rear race.

Any idea why a dust cover will not stay on the hub. Thanks

thank you

Great video. I wonder if buying the hub assembly’s and swapping them out isn’t the simplest way?

Bravo

good job now i know how to take it apart lol.

Did I miss the part about how to figure out what size bearings you need, or just bring them with you when you go to pick them up to make sure you buy the right size. I use a cheap vernier that can measure in inch. metric, or fractions.

Where can I pick up replacement parts for everything for my hub?

if the races are smooth can I leave them in place and just replace the bearing and the seal?

serious question,is a bearing buddy a needless crutch? seems like regular maint. would be enough not just putting more grease on a bad bearing???? I work in an automotive repair shop and I am thinking of getting a small boat this season

Okay, but IMO use brass (soft) rod or dowel to remove/replace the races, if you don't press them out and back in like you should.

44 dislikes! Really people? Best video for this procedure bar none.

I just put some grease in my boat trailer hubs an I seen the back of the hub moving out the back. Is that good or bad?

Great job! Very good video! My only suggestion would be to buy a box of cheap plastic gloves to put on to keep those pretty hands and fingernails cleaner. But maybe your allergic to latex?

How will I know if the hub needs be replaced?

How old is the trailer

Ar kansas lol I miss living in the mid south

good

so if you didn't have the little hole to get rid of the excess grease , could you blow out your back seal by adding too much grease?

please see here more

HOOK A BROTHA UP !

thanks i like you big help

Great video and so glad to see you suggest to replace the cotter pin. Way to many people make instructional videos who are unwilling to accept they might be doing something wrong because "that's how daddy taught me". Well a 30 cent part can screw everything up, maybe kill people or at the least make you look a complete moron. This should be the only trailer bearing video allowed.

Orange handled hand tool is not called pliers, they are called dikes, or sometimes side-cutters. Anyway, very good video.

👍🏻🌹😘
