Yup probably lots of videos out there. Where people usually mess up is bearing preload. That is if they did everything else right like cleaned and inspected the rollers in the bearings and used the correct grease to repack etc. Can't guess how many wheel bearings I done over the years and is pretty simple, but if you get it wrong ......
Reminds me I have to do the bearings on my 20 foot car trailer.
When I had a dealership repack my bearings the first and only time when the RV was in for other repairs, I had the tires balanced, they backed off the brake adjusters to get the hubs off but did not tighten the adjusters when they got done. I had no RV brakes. Mine are not self adjusting.Steve & Tami Cass - Escapee's, FMCA Members, Texas Fulltimers Since July 2020

Unfortunately, mobile tech can’t do it due to EPA laws about handling of grease or something to that effect. After watching some YouTube videos can relate to the grease mess that would result. Since I have disc brakes, procedure would be different than videos I am seeing (all show drum brakes) but will keep trying to find a place to get this done.
Meanwhile, where would be best place to find the right bearings and seals for my 303rls? I would like to have them on hand for the service should I decide to do it locally.Vivian

Where to get bearings maintenance?
I’m sure there are people on here that know, but mine being a 2014 303 it’s probably different. Colin Arnold who operates as B to Z RV Services,LLC at rallies would have that information. He’s on here and the Facebook page. CARNOLDDSM

Thank you, was just looking at a previous discussion he had info on. I went to LCI and found the numbers that match this kit found on amazon. It is for the 5200lb axles which apparently is all the 303rls models regardless of year.

Are you certain that you have disc brakes? Grand Design does not have disc brakes as an option, all their trailers come with Drum brakes.
If you have disc brakes then they are not LCI parts.
The usual disc brakes are either Kodiak or Titan.
Who installed the disc brakes and what brand brakes did they use?Last edited by Jerryr; 01-24-2019 at 03:12 PM.

The bearings, races and seals will be the same whether you have the OE drum brakes or aftermarket disc brakes. Both have to fit to the same spindles. The OE LCI parts will be from an un-named off-shore supplier. Somewhere on this forum, I think TucsonJim has posted a cross reference to better quality bearings and seals.

Jerry, it was Lippert team at the rally who installed the Kodiak brakes. I need to look at the receipt to see if they also did the bearings at the time they did my brakes. If so, that would mean I don’t have to have bearing service until August and I will be in Elkhart area then. Glad I am asking here!Vivian

I learn something new every day. I’ve probobly repacked several hundreds of wheel bearings in cars, trucks, trailers and airplanes. Any time I needed a replacement parts I went local bearing supplier and they cross referenced a replacement.
Wheel bearings on certified aircraft must be FAA certified and stamped as such to be legal.Jerry & Linda
