A packaged bearing unit is disclosed including an outer surface for receiving an aircraft landing gear wheel and an inner surface for receiving an axle. The unit may include first and second spaced-apart sets of tapered roller bearings, held between inner and outer raceways. There may be a bearing setting spacer which can be used when setting and pre-loading the bearings. The bearing unit may be a sealed unit which includes a pre-set amount of lubricant (grease) for lubricating the bearings. One or more sensors may be retained in a void between the sets of bearings. The bearing unit may remain fixed to the axle when the wheel is removed. The bearing unit may be serviced less frequently than the wheels, and may thus have a longer lifetime, possibly comparable with the lifetime of the major components of the landing gear.
