The Trailer Hub Wheel Stud # 7-223 is the typical 9/16" size used by Dexter on their 8,000lb axles. You will want to remove on of your studs to compare the spline diameter and length with your current hub.

If you find any measurements are different and won't fit your hub please let me know and I can find the correct studs for your hub.
