A True Low Dollar Backyard Build

Mark...if your Sunnybrook has 8 lug wheels, don't be surprised if you find sealed bearings. I downed our 2003 Sunnybrook 5th wheel one weekend to do the bearings, and found them to be sealed. I called Dexter Axle to inquire, and the tech guy told me if they weren't leaking, to put them back on and leave em alone! :eek:

I've got 6 lug hubs Jackie. Yours must be bigger than mine...LMAO, that there was funny. Typical cone/race bearing sets here. I took one wheel off yesterday for an initial look. At first look/feel ,if the other 3 look like this one, I think I'd be OK this year. Grease still had some thickness to it. They felt pretty good to turn the by hand, but once I cleaned the old grease out, the rollers are seemingly a lot looser in their cage than a new bearing is. So I'm not taking a chance. I got the numbers to my buddy who deals in industrial parts. He's getting me Timken at his cost. Should save me about 80 bucks off retail locally.
