Question:
I bought a new 2015 caravan trailer model lb 1800=60-st2 with ez lube axel. the dealer put on hubs knott 14e08 with 887 456 also on the hub which I cannot find anywhere on the internet. look low on grease so I tried it out and in came out from the seal in back. It took 2 times with different seals to work. I believe these are not the right kind of hubs .but I cant find anything out. Can you helpi

Expert Reply:
What you will need to do is remove the hubs from your trailer axle and use a digital or dial caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle so that we can determine what hub would fit the spindle.
If you check out the picture I attached you will see exactly where to measure. You will need to measure where the grease seal and bearings ride.
