5 on 5 inch Bolt Pattern axle Hub to Replace a 5 on 4 1/2 inch Hub on Trailer

Question:

I want to add matching rims onto my trailer. I have 5 on 5 jeep rims on my truck and I have two extra Jeep wheels/tires. My trailer has 5 on 4 1/2 axle hubs at the moment. I would like to purchase 5 on 5 hubs from you and replace my hubs. how do I measure my existing hubs to know if your hubs will be a direct replacement?

You will need to remove an existing wheel and hub. Once this is done clean the bearings and seal off and record the part numbers, be sure not to mix up the numbers for the inner and outer bearings. With the bearing part numbers and seal part number we will be able to cross reference the correct hub with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern to replace your trailers 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern hub.

If you find that you have a # L68149 inner and a # L44649 outer bearing and a # 10-19 or # 58846 seal then you would most likely use a Trailer Hub Assembly - 3,500 lbs Axles - 5 on 5, item # 84550BX.
