Helpful Expert Reply:

I will be happy to help you out. To determine which replacement bearings you will need you can pull a hub off of the trailer to get to the bearings. The bearing numbers are stamped into the sides of the bearings. With those numbers I can determine the correct replacements.

Another option is to measure the spindle where the bearings and seals ride. The measurements have to be as accurate as possible so calipers should be used, # PTW80157. I have included a diagram that shows where to measure.

With the measurements I can determine if we have bearings that will fit.
