How to replace Erdé trailer wheel bearings

This is an Erdé 122 trailer but this is similar for many Maypole and Daxara trailers.
These trailer uses standard 6004 and 6202 bearings.

Excellent tutorial video - thank you for taking the time to explain in a simple way how to do this, that even a numpty like me can follow.

[@mrbates2]

Cheers! Followed your instructions. Both big bearings stuck fast. After heat I used a puller and cold chisel at the same time. On one the outer circumference and race came off so used a nut cracker. All done now. Phew.

Thank you for this video. My wife has just bought one of these trailers from Facebook. I thought I'd better check the bearings before she took it out and good job I did as one of them has failed. Unfortunately the dust cap was well rusted in to the point I had to cut it off.

[@user-rs1990]

The larger 4.00-8 tyres have the advantage of reducing RPM which makes them and the bearings last longer.

[@bootsowen]

I was thinking that too.

[@bigballoon1]

Thanks for that I'll do mine tomorrow 👍

Great view, I changed to led lights, great stuff

Excellent demo . Up Ireland .

Yip yahoo!

[@wollywotsit]

When using the hub puller, use the loosened hub nut to centre it

[@wollywotsit]

Ah, you did!

[@anguspatterson9449]

No cotter pin locking the castle nut on the spindle?

[@bootsowen]

Nope, just a ring of nylon!

[@TheJezmhill]

What size gear puller would you recommend for this?

[@45graham45]

Where did you get the wheels / tyres from? Are they 4.8/4.00-8 tyres like my Erde 102?

[@wollywotsit]

I struggled with some Erde bearings once, did t have many tools with me, I left the hubs in some august sun for an hour and put the bearings in the fridge, it made a tiny but useful difference. Still scares me that there is nothing retaining the hub nut

[@bootsowen]

I thought it was a bit risky too, but they do have a nylon nut

[@wollywotsit]

@@bootsowen I did think about wrapping a tiny piece of wire on the thread

[@rich2529]

what tyre preasure do you run in those. iv got a erdi 142 and it says 50.7 psi..it feels like its going to blow up lol

[@bootsowen]

No Idea. I don't think too hard about these things, if it says 50 then why not 50? racing bicycle runs at 120, van at 50/

Hello! For the Erde 400kg trailer, can I put 600kg on the trailer? Does something break or how much can I put over the limit written on it?

[@bootsowen]

Ha ha. Try it and let me know

[@andydarwin9785]

Where did you get your tires from..ie what was the site called thanks

[@bootsowen]

[@darrenpearson8451]

[@wollywotsit]

Other tip, they are much easier to work on if attached to a car - I appreciate not always practical

[@bootsowen]

Good idea!
