Product Information

Full details

This AB Tools Sealed Wheel Hub Bearing Kit (605124) is designed for commercial users and vehicle owners needing a robust, sealed bearing solution for trailer hubs. Its key benefit is offering a waterproof, long-lasting bearing with all necessary components for replacement. A potential caveat is that it's an aftermarket part, requiring verification of compatibility with specific trailer assemblies. The kit includes a sealed-for-life ball bearing, circlips, and a one-shot nut, serving as an economical and reliable alternative for various industrial and trailer applications.

FAQs

What is a 'one-shot nut' and why is it included?

A one-shot nut is a specific type of hub nut designed to provide a precise pre-load on the bearing when tightened to a specific torque. It is designed for single use and must be replaced each time the bearing is serviced to ensure correct bearing function and longevity. It's included to ensure proper installation.

Can I reuse the old one-shot nut?

No, the one-shot nut is designed for single use. Reusing it can lead to improper pre-load, potentially causing premature bearing failure or damage to the spindle.

How do I know if this bearing kit fits my trailer?

Compare the part numbers listed in the compatibility section (ALKO 605124, KNOTT 45887.10, AVONRIDE SB069) with your existing hub assembly. Also, measure your hub's internal diameter (34mm), external diameter (64mm), and overall length (37mm) to ensure a match.

Do I need to grease these bearings?

No, these are 'sealed-for-life' ball bearings. The seals are designed to keep lubrication in and contaminants out, eliminating the need for periodic greasing.

What does 'back-to-back cone set with a split inner raceway' mean?

This describes the internal configuration of the bearing, designed to handle higher radial and axial loads by arranging the bearing cones back-to-back and using a bearing with a separated inner ring. This enhances stability and load capacity.

Is this suitable for saltwater use?

Yes, the waterproof rubber seal makes it suitable for boat trailers and use in all weather conditions, including coastal or saltwater environments. However, it's always good practice to rinse components with fresh water after prolonged saltwater exposure.

Troubleshooting

Bearing seizes or becomes noisy shortly after installation.

This can indicate incorrect installation, particularly with the one-shot nut pre-load. Ensure the nut was tightened to the correct specification and that the bearing was properly seated. Check for any damage to the hub or spindle during installation.

Water or dirt ingress into the bearing.

While designed to be waterproof, severe damage to the rubber seal or extremely high-pressure washing can compromise its integrity. Inspect the seal for tears or damage. If compromised, the bearing will need replacement.

Hub nut is difficult to tighten or appears cross-threaded.

Ensure you are using the correct one-shot nut provided in the kit and that it is aligned properly with the spindle threads. Do not force the nut; if resistance is met, back it off and re-align.

Bearing feels loose or has excessive play.

This is typically due to improper tightening of the one-shot nut. Re-check the tightening procedure and torque specifications to ensure correct pre-load. If the nut was overtightened or undertightened, the bearing may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Waterproof design ideal for marine or all-weather use.
  • Sealed bearings reduce maintenance needs and protect against contaminants.
  • Comes as a complete kit with bearings, circlips, and nuts.
  • Economical replacement for various popular trailer hub types.
  • Durable and suitable for industrial applications.

Cons

  • Requires careful compatibility check as it's an aftermarket part.
  • One-shot nut is for single use and must be replaced upon installation.
  • Specific dimensions may require precise measurement before purchase.
  • May not be suitable for applications requiring different bearing types (e.g., taper roller).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the hub is clean and free from old grease and debris.
  2. Carefully remove the old bearing, circlips, and hub nut.
  3. Press the new double-row sealed bearing into the hub, ensuring it is fully seated.
  4. Fit the new circlips into their respective grooves.
  5. Install the new one-shot nut. Tighten the nut to the manufacturer's specified torque, ensuring correct pre-load on the bearing. Note: The one-shot nut is designed for single use and should not be reused.

Compatibility:

This kit is specifically designed as an alternative aftermarket part for:

  • ALKO assemblies (Type 2051 compact, reference 605124)
  • KNOTT assemblies (references 45887.10, 160x35 / 200x50 / 203x40)
  • Avonride assemblies (reference SB069, Avonride X)
  • Brian James Trailers (part number 5100)

Verify your existing hub assembly and part numbers against these specifications before purchase. The internal diameter is 34mm, external diameter is 64mm, and overall length is 37mm.

Care:

Due to the sealed nature of the bearings, no routine greasing is required. Periodically inspect the hub assembly for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the exterior of the hub and bearing area with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the bearing seal.
