The best way to determine the correct parts for your 2002 Trailstar trailer is to disassemble a hub on one side of the trailer and get the bearing part numbers that are stamped on the bearings. There is an inner and outer bearing. With these part numbers I will be able to determine the bearings, seals, and other parts you might need for your trailer.

I looked up the Trailstar trailers and it looks like they use the EZ Lube hubs. The EZ Lube system will have a zerk fitting on the end of the spindle. When the hub is installed on the EZ lube spindle it will form a cavity around the wheel bearings and when you pump grease into the spindle through the zerk fitting it will fill the cavity with grease and allow the bearings to be greased and will keep water from getting to the bearings.

I am including a link to a FAQ page and a video link on removing the bearings and seals on a trailer hub.

I have a 2002 trailstar trailer as part of a boat package that has a model number por200sp. It has the same zerk fittings. I am needing to replace one of the axles and would like to know a proper substitute.

To determine the right replacement axle I would need some additional information. Can you tell me the capacity, hub length, and spring seat length of the existing axle?
