What to Measure to Find Replacement Hub
Question:
My trailer spindle measures inner 1.25inch outer 1.1. I need a set of hubs for the trailer. Can you direct me to the correct one?

No, more information will be needed to find the correct replacement hub for your trailer.
You'll need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings and grease seal ride. You can use the photo I've attached to see exactly where you need to measure.
Additionally, you need to know your hub's wheel bolt pattern; if you do not know what it is I have added a help article which details how you can find it. If you get back to me with this information I'd be happy to try and help you find the correct hub.
