I have attached a photo that shows the correct measurements that will need to be taken in order to find the replacement bearings for your Northstar trailer. Bearing diameters are measured to the thousandth of an inch using a digital caliper like part # PTW80157. I will need the B, C, and D measurements from you. Once you can provide me with these measurements I would be happy to see if we have options for you.
You could also read me the inner and outer bearing numbers but you are going to need to remove the hubs either way.
