In order to find the correct hubs/drums for a trailer you'll need to know either the axle capacity, bearings numbers, or spindle dimensions. We can't look any of this up for any one particular trailer as there is simply no database of this info for trailers. The easiest option is to simply crawl under the trailer and read the tag off the beam. It's likely a small axle, such as a 2,200 lb for example and in which case you could use the Trailer Hub Assembly part # 8-258-50UC1-EZ.

If you have a different axle capacity please let me know what that is and I'd be glad to see if we have another option for you. I have also attached this selection below as well.

Hi Conner. I too am looking for a Triton LT PWC trailer hub assembly replacement. According to the tag off the beam, it's a AW 1.5X1.5 L=46.75 axle with 1500 lbs capacity, 5 bearings (Meher USA). Could you please LMK which is the right axle for this PWC trailer so I may order it? Would I need a grease seal with that, or does it come with the assembly? Kind regards, Vic

@VicS Hey Vic! I wish the axle info gave me everything I need to make sure we get you the right hub, but unfortunately, "5 bearings (Meher USA)" doesn’t tell me the bearing numbers or bolt pattern. The best way to get your bearing numbers is to pull a hub off and check the numbers stamped on the bearings themselves. If that’s not an option, you can measure the spindle using something like the 4" Carbon Fiber Digital Caliper # PTW80157. I attached a help article that covers common bearing numbers and where to measure the spindle to figure out what you’ve got. For example, if you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern (I attached a printable template so you can check yours) and a straight spindle measuring 1.06" with L44649 bearings for both inner and outer, you’ll need the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K. I wish I had a more direct answer for you, but unfortunately, we don’t have a database that tells us exactly what’s on every trailer, it’d make things a whole lot easier if we did! Let me know what measurements you come up with, and I’ll make sure we get you into the right hub.
