Expert Reply:
Bearings come in a lot of different sizes and often you will need two bearings of different sizes for one hub. We carry about 25 different bearings. You cannot modify a bearing to make it fit. Changing the shape or structure of the bearing will cause damage and the bearing will fail.
You need to choose the correct bearings for your hub and spindle. I have added a link to a page with all of our bearings. I have added some links to an FAQ page and a trailer bearing video that may be helpful to you.
