Updated 02/21/2018 | Published 02/20/2018 >
Question:
I have a 2000 model Moonshine boat trailer model LJ-1860 rated at 2850lbs. I need a hub and bearing kit but am not sure what size spindle it has. It is a 5 x 4.5” pattern.

Helpful Expert Reply:
To get you the correct hub and bearing kit, you will need to pull one of your hubs and look for the bearing number located on the bearing face. There will be an inner bearing, outer bearing, and grease seal and each will have a number printed on it. If you cannot find the numbers or if they aren't legible, we can still find you a replacement, you just need to do some measuring.
You can measure your spindles using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 in the bearing and seal locations. I've attached a photo to assist.
