To find the correct hubs for your Demco trailer you will need to verify a few things first, otherwise you'll most likely end up ordering a part that won't work. Trailer couplers are a bit more universal than a hub so it's important to get it right since there's quite a few differences in sizes.

The first thing to check is the axle capacity, there will typically be a tag somewhere on the axle stating the capacity. If not, measuring the diameter of the axle can give us a pretty good idea as well. Next you'll need to measure the wheel's bolt pattern and diameter. I've attached a help article below that can help walk you through this part.

For example, the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is designed to fit 3,500lb axles with a #84 spindle and 10" brake assemblies. This hub has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and can fit 13" to 15" wheels.

Once we have all of the information we can then determine the correct replacement hubs for your trailer.
