Hiya,

If you have Northern tool around you, chances are they will have what you need. The big thing to know is how heavy of a trailer you have which will determine which hub you need. If your trailer does not have brakes, it will be under 3000 pounds.

In a nutshell, if you trailer is under 2000 pound capacity, the hub will be the smaller hub which has both bearings the same size (I don't recall the actual size right off hand). If the spindle is not the same size front inside to outside by threads, you will need the next larger hub (1750 pound capacity). This hub will have a larger rear bearing as compared to the outside bearing by the threads.

Hopefully this gets you enough to go on. Northern tool will carry what you need regardless. If you bring your old hub in, they will match you up well. The only thing you might need to get information on is the correct seal. If you have your old seal, yet, they will match that up as well. Then...buy 4 of them. keep a couple in a #*^@-it box just in case, along with an extra set of bearings for one hub.
