This is the first time for me to be ordering bearings and seals for our TT. Do I just need the part number off our axles and go onto the bearing and/or the Alko's website? Do they come as a kit with nut, cotter pin etc?
A bit unclear on the info. on our axle sticker. Says axles are 4400 lbs and are T52D-H9. Alko's website says T52 axles are rated 5K lbs?
axle should also have a tag listing the axle weight rating and often a stamp as well.
Alko 5200lb axles normally have 12" brakes with 6 lug wheels, 4400lb Alko have 10" brakes and 5 or 6 lug wheels.
Also std ratings are 4400lbs and 5200lbs not 5,000.
the 4400 and 5200 lb axles use completely different bearings.
