In order to recommend the correct hub for your needs we will need to know a few things. The first thing we will need to know are the part numbers of your bearings and seals. I have attached a photo showing where you can locate the part numbers on your bearings and seals.
If you cannot locate the part numbers of your bearings and seals, then you can measure the inner and outer diameters of the bearings and seals and take some measurements on your spindle using a precise measuring tool like a dial caliper. The photo I attached will also show where to measure on the spindle.
The next thing we will need to know is the bolt pattern and wheel size of your wheels, as well as the capacity of your axle. I want to make sure I recommend a hub that will work with your wheels and that is rated for the capacity of your axle. I have attached an article showing how to measure for the bolt pattern on your wheel for you to review.
