Question:

How do I determine which hub to buy for my 2001 Yacht Club dual axle pontoon trailer. The threaded portion of the axle external to nut measures 1inch outside diameter. The current wheels are 5.30 X 17, 5 on 4.5.

In order to recommend the correct replacement, I'll need to know whether you're looking for an idler hub (no brakes) or a hub/drum. I'll also need to know the reference numbers from the inner and outer wheel bearing. If you can't find the reference numbers or if they aren't readable, you'll need to use a highly accurate measuring device to measure the journal surfaces of the spindle where the inside diameter of the bearings ride.

For instance, the # 8-259-5UC1-EZ idler hub is compatible with spindles using L44649 inner and outer bearings.

With this information, I'd be happy to recommend a replacement hub for you.
