There is nothing like being broke down on side of the road. With a wheel baring gone out only 5 hours away from home in tallulah la. Now if I fine someone to work on it because I have not tools. Hope tomarrow bring a better day.

We carry a extra hub what has the bearing and grease already installed,comes that way.
A new hub with bearings less then 50,if buy the bearings at a parts store cost 60 to 80.
In the last month we have had both sides go out its nice just pull one hub off and replace a new one without getting grease up to your elbows replacing bearing.
Things happen been in your shoes setting on the side of the road but a new hub is like our fishing rods we don't leave home withoutem or a spare tire.
new hubs at Academy were only like $45 last time I looked, only need pliers to get pin and nut off, then slip old busted one off, slide new one on, on the rd in less than 20 minutes.
Sorry bout your luck! gotta get better, right?
Bad thing is it my SUV not my trailer
I carry a spare SUV for such times.
(Seriously, not good. You need us to call someone?)
:yikes Spare SUV. We had it towed in and there working on it now. We are hopping to get back on road soon.
Hope the remainder of your trip goes better for you
That's bad luck! Hope all gets better!

Two options: 1) Carry a spare, greased hub. 2) Carry a spare greased hub and have hubs repacked often. Same thing happened to me once. Hope I learned my lesson!
