1809S Wheel Bearings Part #

I had a spare set of wheel bearings/seals for a roadside emergency but I can't locate that package now. If by chance an owner of a 2015 model can provide the nomenclature so I can re-order I'd be most appreciative.
Or else I'll just have to do it the hard way & pull a hub and post those numbers for someone else "down the road". Thanks in advance.

OK, I'll answer my own post for future searchers. Bearings used are L68149 with race L68111, and L44649 with race L44610. The grease seal is (Dexter's part number) 010-019-00. These parts are available as a kit if you search "spindle 84" rebuild. Note that the Rockwood 1809S has 2200lb axles, but the hubs are spec'd with 3500lb axle components, as are the brakes from the 3500lb parts list, which are 10" x 2-1/4 Nev-R-Adj self-adjusting. You won't fjnd these parts listed under the 2200lb axle list. A few more comments I'll make for you DIY'ers: 1. None of my drums were fitted with plugs for the backplate adjusting ports, so check yours. They are cheap and easily found online. 2. My wheels had a lot of lateral slop, as if they weren't pre-loaded when assembled, so check yours. 3. As noted by others on the forum, my EZ Lube spindles were not full of grease by the factory. My initial greasing used 3 full-size tubes for 4 hubs. 4. Since my factory installed grease was red, buying a red grease (such as Lucas Red & Tacky) makes for determining when the original grease is fully evacuated more difficult. I suggest using a different color ( but still compatible lithium type 2). Happy trails!
