Question:

I asked before but I hit submit on accident before writing some more information. The trailer has 4 lugs. The inner and outter bearing races I believe are part no. L44610. The inner diameter of the bearing is 1.062in on my micrometer. The bearing seal area shows 1.253inches where it sits. It is a 1inch diameter shaft. What is left of the bearing - I have no idea of the seal as its MIA, the other side is just as bad so I will need to order two replacements as I do not trust the other side. Trailer was purchased in this poor condition. Hopefully with this information you can source me replacement hub kit! The oddest thing is it has lug bolts, instead of lug nuts. Is this a dead giveaway for some oddball trailer hub? Below are the photos. The shaft is pitted but still looks to be in usable condition, needs a little tlc but will not be hauling more than a little 300lbs riding mower or less at times. Thank you!

We do have the parts you need for your trailer.

I recommend the trailer hub assembly, part # 8-91-05UC1. This is a hub assembly that comes with bearings, races, seals, and the grease cap. The bearings included with the assembly will work fine. The seals in the assembly will not work for your spindles as the inner diameter is too large, but we do have a solution. These are 4 on 4 hubs and include the bolts on the hub and also include the lug nuts.

You will need to order part # RG06-010 for each side of the trailer. These seals should work well with the spindles you have on your axle.

Please keep in mind these recommendations are based on the dimensions you supplied. You may want to measure the spindle again for the bearings and seals to make sure the numbers you provided are correct.

I have attached a product review video you can check out.
