I never put new bearings in old races. They should be sold in sets. And replaced in sets. I know that you can buy them sepearate. Bearings can vary in demenions if made by different manuafctors. It's a gamble but its your trailer.
The mechanic's coments would be correct if you were reusing the old bearings. Even then the bearing should be placed back in the original race.
