Thanks for the picture!

To determine the correct replacement hub to give your M416 military trailer the 5 on 5 bolt pattern you are looking for, you will need to determine the inner and outer bearings your current hub uses.

The easiest way to do this is by pulling one of the hubs off, and reading the bearing number stamped on the face of the bearing like on the included picture of the # L44649.

If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers, you will need to use digital calipers like # PTW80157 to precisely measure your spindle according to the included diagram.

The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # 84556UC3 you were looking at use inner bearing # L68149, and outer bearing # L44649 so as long as you have the same bearing combination this would be a great option for you, and at this time we do not have 5 on 5 bolt pattern hubs that use any other bearing combination.

I included a video of the # 84556UC3 for you to take a look at.
