Default Cobra Trailer Bearings

I screwed up big time and burned the bearings on both wheels by leaving the brake on (I know, I'm getting forgetful). Wings and Wheels is out of the ALCO 1637 bearing sets and will not get any until mid August. Does anyone have two of these bearing sets? I need them early next week so that I can go to Mackay,ID for some of the best soaring ever.

If anyone can help me out, please contact me at .

A bit of a warning from experience(of others I've observed or helped).
If things got hot enough to wreck the bearings you need to be concerned about the drums. They can become very brittle when they get overheated.
Any discoloration is a clue.
Also, if the spindles show discoloration they need to be replaced.
