I checked our inventory and it looks like we do not offer a hub with an outer bearing that will match the outer bearing dimension on your trailer spindle. That probably means you'll have a really hard time finding replacement parts, since we do carry a large selection for the most popular set-ups on the road today.

The only solution I could offer would be to replace your axle altogether with one whose spindles are more common and for which parts are readily available today. If you're interested in exploring that route, I would need to know the capacity as well as the hub face to hub face (HF) and spring center to spring center (SC) measurement of your existing axle.

For example, Dexter Trailer Axle # 20440I-ST-60 which includes idler hubs with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, like yours, has a HF length of 60 inches and a SC length of 48 inches. This is a 2,000 lbs trailer axle compatible with 10-13 inch wheels.

I've attached a link to our entire selection at the bottom of the page for you as well.
