Might order an extra set of bearings while they're still available for the new axles.

Considering that. Oddly enough, when we first bought our RV, lots of folks on the RV forums stated that the Never-Lube bearings lasted a long time. However, we are an odd pair. Unlike many other full-time RV'ers, we don't move all that often. We retired around July of 2014, went to one location in Colorado for 20 months, Oregon for 17 months, and Utah for 9 months. Noticed the leaking prior to moving from Oregon to Utah. We've towed this RV about 5700 miles total. Thus, I presume that Never-Lube bearings need to be turned in order for them to "last."

Or call a real mechanic... there are a multitude of bearings/seals sizes & shapes, and some would assuredly fit your existing axles.

I think they saw ya coming. :drunk2:

Yes, there are some other Never-Lube bearings available. However, my understanding from folks more in the know, i.e., those that have ordered said bearings, that they are made in China. Also see post just above this one and you'll understand my hesitance in going back to those same kinds of bearings.
