The best way to find the correct wheel bearings, races, and seals for your utility trailer will be to pull a wheel and hub of the trailer and find the numbers on your wheel bearing.
With the bearing numbers, you will be able to check the attached link and match the correct bearings to your axle.
If your bearings do not have numbesr or the numbers have worn off, then you will need to measure the inside diameter of the bearings and the seal. The attached picture shows what measurements are needed to find the correct parts.
I recommend using # PTW80157, Digital Caliper, to help find the ID of both the bearings and the seal on your trailer's axles.
