Hey Wayne, although we do have the # LM48548 bearing, the M12649 bearing and 20515 seal are not something that we carry. If you only need the bearings and seal it looks like they're still available just not here at etrailer.

If you need to replace the hub then your only option will be to replace the axle since that bearing combination is no longer used. For a replacement axle you will need the capacity and the length of the axle. The length is the hub face to hub face measurement.

I have attached a link to all of our axles below, along with a video that explains how to measure for your reference.

Hey Wayne, were you able to track down those bearings and the 20515 seal for your trailer? Knowing what ended up working could help others trying to match older bearing combinations.
