axle size?
 

I need to know how big the spindle is on my axle.
(either 1" re 2000 capacity or 1&1/16" re 2500 lb capacity in diameter)
The manufacturer said to check the part numbers on the bearings.
Trouble is, I have buddy bearings for the first time and don't know how to
remove them.
Any ideas?

Thanks...that's it.
Wonder if I'll be able to see the bearing numbers after popping the buddy
bearing out, or will i have to remove the wheel/hub?
Looks like it's time to get my hands dirty!

Sounds silly, but before I work on cars, or axels specifically, I get
all the hand cleaners and such lined up on the workbench (pavement
next to trailer) before I even start the job. I hate having something
come up (gotta pee, phone call..) during a job and have to palm my way
into the house and make a huge mess on the way. Especially doing
bearings, I tear a bunch of paper towels off and have the pile ready
to use as I go along. Have fun, have someone snap pics;)

That's why they make nitrile gloves.

Dingy Dan, the fount of non-knowledge. I wonder how he likes it down
there in my bozo bin with the rest of his "slow" buddies?

Probably doesn't even realize where he resides.

Apparently not, since I see an occasional comment aimed at me
*second-hand* from one of the Turd Brothers (you know, Dan, Reggie,
Herringbrain, et cetera) when they are "requoted" by someone else. I
guess I should feel a bit of liberal compassion towards them, because if
they couldn't try to kick me around, why, there would be no reason for
any of them to post here.
