To determine the correct replacement bearing kit for your trailer you will need to pull off a hub and get the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the metal of the bearings. With those numbers I can determine the correct replacement parts for you.

There are a couple of different kits for 3500 pound axles. Once you have the bearing numbers it will be easy to figure out the correct one. I have included a link to a video that should help with this project.
