Does anyone know where I can find replacement sealed bearings online for an Eberle trailer?
I did a 40 mile drive a few weeks back and the bearing seemed to run a bit warm, soon it will be on a 1,000+ road trip and don't want to take any chances.
They are sealed bearings so have to replace vs repacking them like the ever so luxurious cobra trailer.

widely available. McMaster-Carr would be my first choice online, but even Amazon might
have them.

Here's a question: Shouldn't they run a little warm anyway? What would be the actual temp that would be "too warm/hot" for a sealed bearing?
I would also assume that ambient temperature would matter in this case.
Kind Regards,

For me, when I owned trailers, I would touch the bearing cap shortly
after beginning a trip and again at every stop. If it was too hot to
hold my fingers on the bearing cap, I would investigate. Note: A
dragging brake will yield the same symptom.

The hub will feel warmer after city driving with stops and starts as well. I use a infrared thermometer.Kind Regards,

The bearing may well have some ID laser engraved on it--should help find cross reference. Look for it on the edge of the race.
On Cobra sealed bearing axle, it requires a machine shop press to remove the bearing and replace it.
