Kevin is a fantastic resource for all things Workhorse! I spoke to him last week and have the list of parts he got for the brake job on his video. He had 4 different bearings listed, two for the front hubs and 2 for the rear. He didn't remember which ones went where, although I may be able to see if I can figure out the part numbers from his brake video.
Brazels does indeed have nearly everything for our rigs, and I have purchased several thousand dollars worth of parts from them in the past 4 years. Cross-referencing is difficult through the part numbers, so pricing can be, um, out of whack. The same can be said for nearly any Auto / Truck dealer, but I shop around for those items when possible, too.
For example, I bought inner hub seals in June 2021 as part of a front brake job, $45 then, and quoted $105 today. FleetPride has the same Stemco Seal (308-0866) for $75. So, yeah, it's gone up, but 50% more for the same part at FleetPride is a big premium.
Similarly, Brazel's inner and outer bearings are $72 and $155, while FleetPride has the same Timken bearings for around $40 and $72.
If Brazels (or Ford, Chevy and Honda dealers) came relatively close to other options, I wouldn't hesitate to buy everything from them.
