Here is a great article on repacking the trailer bearings. The article shows brakes and bearings. But will do.

If you are looking for Timken bearings contact Motion Industries formerly Berry Bearring. Bring them your hub and they can set you up with new races and bearings. These are the #1 bearring. Alot of the other bearings are made in mexico or china, these are made in US and Canada.
To ease your pain and not have to repack and replace bearings 1-2x a year, then look at the liqua lube system. I installed these this past summer. This is very similiar to the Ranger "Cool Hubs" I beleive there have been several posts on this board regarding liqua lubes. The whole kit from liqua lube cost about $100, but is worth every penny. I installed these myself.
