• Replacement Trailer Wheel for Trailer with 1.062-Inch Diameter Spindle
  Selecting a replacement or spare trailer wheel/tire requires matching the wheel bolt pattern, weight rating, tire size and tire weight load range.

• Which Grease Seal for Trailstar Boat Trailer
  I don't have reference that lists which grease seal the hub on your trailer uses. In order to recommend the correct grease seal, I'll need some information from you. I'll need the inner bearing reference number and the diameter of the spindle where the grease seal rides. When you measure the spindle diameter, you'll need to use a highly accurate measuring tool like a digital caliper. Once I have that information, I'd be happy to recommend a grease seal for you.

• Can E-Z Lube Hubs be Installed on Trailer Axle Without E-Z Lube Fittings
  E-Z Lube hubs like # 84550UC1-EZ that you referenced are intended for use on axles that are equipped with E-Z Lube spindles.

Adding an E-Z Lube hub to a regular axle will not provide the E-Z Lube functionality but if the bearing set is the same as your original hubs then they may be used as substitutes but without the E-Z Lube feature.
