If you're looking for an idler hub assembly then the correct one is the Trailer Idler Hub part # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K but if you're looking for a hub/drum then the correct one is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-257-5UC3-EZ. These both use a 5 on 4-1/2" pattern and have L44649 bearings which measure 1.063" inner diameter.
