Expert Reply:

We do not offer any hubs that use the bearing set LM11749 and L44649 but we may still be able to help you find replacement hubs that will fit your spindles and have the 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern you want. You'll need to measure the spindles at the points noted in the linked diagram. These points, B, C and D, are where the grease seal, inner bearing and outer bearing, respectively, sit on the spindles. You'll need to measure to the nearest thousandth (e.g. 1.234-inches) using a precision caliper like # PTW80157.

With those dimensions you can check through the link on bearings to find the ones that match your dimensions. Then you can search our hub parts for hubs that use bearings with those same dimensions.
