Thanks for reaching out, Craig!

Based on the information you provided, I can point you in the right direction for the parts you’ll need.

For the hub and drum assembly, a good option would be the TruRyde Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # TRU38AV.

The main thing to watch for is the grease seal size, since your spindle could use one of two options:

Grease Seal # GS-2250DL :
Inner diameter: 2.250"
Outer diameter: 3.376"

Grease Seal # RG06-090 :
Inner diameter: 2.125"
Outer diameter: 3.376"

Both seals have the same outer diameter, but the inner diameter is slightly different.

If you’d prefer not to pull a hub to check, the safest route is to go with the hub and drum assembly # TRU38AV along with the Grease Seal # GS-2250DL.

For the brake assembly, the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-6 are for manual adjustment, or the TruRyde Electric Trailer Brakes # TRU96FR are self-adjusting. I wanted to include both options in case you have a preference. If you have manual, you can easily swap over to self-adjusting and vice versa.

What Kind of trailer do you have; utility or a camper trailer?
