Question:

I have a Wesco 128 2005 trailer I’m looking for complete hubs with bearings and dust cap plate. Do not know what the part number is I believe they are 3000 pound or 3500 pound trailer. I need both caliper and non-caliper hubs. Could you help me with these part numbers and where to purchase them.? Much appreciated thank you

Expert Reply:

This is an torsion axle on your 2005 Wesco 128. You also think the axles are rated for between 3,000 lbs and 3,500 lbs. Without your specific axle model, I can only speculate which hubs and bearings you need based on the information you provided. For example, we offer a torsion axle rated for this weight, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs, part # 8327812. If your axle has the same measurements, the hub face to hub face measurement of 89" and spring center to spring center measurements of 74", I can get you replacement bearings. You will need an inner bearing, part # L68149, and an outer bearing, part # L44649.

Please keep in mind, even with the correct bearing numbers, unless I know what disc brake setup you currently have, I cannot recommend a replacement hub and dust cap plate for you.

If this is not the axle you have and you cannot find the model on the axle, you will need to take some measurements of your axle. I have included a weblink explaining how to take the measurements below. I have also included a chart with common bearing sizes below. Once you have these measurements you can find the replacement hub and bearing kit, based on the type of brakes you have, for your trailer. I have also included product description links and video review links below as well.
