Published 04/17/2024
Question:
Is there any way to tell what axle hub i need without removing one? I have a small pwc trailer Id like to get new hubs foras spares for now. Getting ready to take a long trip and just would like to have backup.

Brian, you can check and see if your axle still has the tag on it. That would tell you what axle you have pretty easily and you won't have to remove anything.
The other options would require you to remove your hubs and measure your spindle to see what bearings / seals fit on it which would also tell us what size axle you have.
