Depends on your axle manufacturer. My former Dexters I purchased all of my bearings etc from Redneck Trailer Supply. My new to me Sunnybrook has Lipperts, so I could have bought them through Lippert but Makarios RV was less money. Both ship and I carry spares with me.

Its not hard to do! Search youtube for wheel bearing maintenance and you'll will find a video to help you out!
