The bearing part # L44649 has an inner diameter of 1.063 and is typically used in 3,500 lb axle hubs and the # L44643 has an inner diameter of 1 inch and is typically used on 2,000 lb axle hubs.

If you can get me more info on your trailer like axle capacity and wheel bolt pattern I can help you pick out the components you are looking for.

@PatZ Can you let me know the axle capacity of your trailer? I wasn't able to find that and that's the info I need. I am pretty sure you have 3,500 lb axles which would be 2-3/8 inch in diameter but you'd need to verify this. If this is true the correct bearing kit would be the part # BK2-100.
