Hey Jorge, so probably the easiest way would be to pull the hub off and measure the spindles where they ride and then look up what bearings came in your new hub and compare the inner diameters of the bearings to your spindle dimensions. If the hub you bought was the part # T4084600042 then the spindle would need to be 1 inch in diameter.
