Replacement Rotating Front Hose Reel Bearing for Sewer Cleaning Trucks
The UEMSI G45548 Rotating Front Hose Reel Bearing is a precision-manufactured replacement part for compatible Vactor-style combination sewer cleaning trucks.
Located within the rotating front hose reel assembly, this bearing supports smooth reel movement as the operator positions the jetting hose for sewer cleaning, catch basin maintenance, and pipeline service. A worn or damaged bearing can contribute to difficult reel movement, excessive play, vibration, uneven rotation, or accelerated wear on surrounding hose reel components.
The G45548 is manufactured as an exact replacement for the compatible original bearing, making it a practical repair part for municipal fleet shops, sewer cleaning contractors, public works departments, and equipment service technicians.
Replacing a worn front hose reel bearing can help restore proper reel movement and support dependable operation of one of the most frequently used systems on a combination sewer cleaner.
Compatibility notice: Confirm the truck model, model year, hose reel configuration, existing bearing dimensions, and original part number before ordering. Vactor-style equipment configurations can vary by production year and truck specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the UEMSI G45548?
The UEMSI G45548 is a rotating front hose reel bearing manufactured as an exact replacement for compatible Vactor-style combination sewer cleaning trucks.
Where is the G45548 installed?
The bearing is installed within the rotating front hose reel assembly. It supports reel movement as the operator positions the sewer jetting hose for pipeline cleaning and maintenance.
What equipment is compatible with the G45548?
The G45548 is intended for compatible Vactor-style sewer cleaning combination trucks. Exact compatibility should be confirmed using the existing bearing part number, dimensions, truck model, model year, and hose reel configuration.
Is this an exact replacement bearing?
Yes. The G45548 is identified as an exact replacement part for compatible front hose reel assemblies.
Does the bearing fit every Vactor sewer cleaning truck?
Do not assume universal compatibility. Vactor-style trucks can use different reel assemblies and bearings depending on the model, year, and equipment configuration.
Verify the existing component before ordering.
What are the symptoms of a worn front hose reel bearing?
Common symptoms may include difficult rotation, grinding noises, reel wobble, excessive play, binding, corrosion, or uneven movement.
Similar symptoms can result from shaft damage, misalignment, loose hardware, damaged reel supports, or hydraulic system problems.
Is mounting hardware included?
Treat this product as the bearing only unless the Range Supply inventory or supplier packing list specifically states that mounting hardware is included.
Should the reel shaft be inspected during replacement?
Yes. Inspect the shaft for scoring, corrosion, wear, deformation, or dimensional damage. Installing a new bearing on a damaged shaft can reduce bearing life and may not correct reel movement problems.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. The front hose reel is a heavy assembly connected to hydraulic and high-pressure water systems. Installation should be completed by a qualified technician using appropriate lifting, support, lockout, and service procedures.
Can replacing the bearing improve hose reel operation?
Replacing a worn or damaged bearing may help restore smoother rotation and reduce unwanted reel movement. The complete hose reel assembly should be inspected to identify any additional causes of poor operation.
