Always like to travel with an extra set of wheel bearings. Does anyone know which bearing fits the 190? (I imagine they are all the same). ------------- Swampfox |

Its probably this kit you want but check the label on your axle and call etrailer to confirm. https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Bearings_Races_Seals_Caps-co-3500_lbs_Axle.aspx - https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Bearings_Races_Seals_Caps-co-3500_lbs_Axle.aspx You'll need to have a seal puller and bearing grease in your toolbox also of course. ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

Offgrid is correct in the above kit that you will need. After 8 years and 28,000 miles I made the choice to replace ours on the 177 a year ago. It wasn't necessary but since it was already pulled apart I replaced them anyway, I was only out $20 for both sets of bearings and seals from the local auto parts store and timewise I spent 1 hour/hub, not a big deal.

Jato, wish you would of taken photos and posted them and write up of replacing bearings. I believe it would help allot of Pod owners who are looking at doing the same now or later. It all sounds easy but we all know how easy goes sometimes!  ------------- Dave & Marlene J with Zoey the wonder dog. 2017 Rpod 180 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 Lexington, NC |
