Determining Correct Replacement Hubs For Single Axle Boat Trailer Converted To Utility Trailer
Question:
I have an old boat trailer that was converted to a utility trailer. It has a single axle 1 with hubs 5 x 4.5 stud pattern. I need to replace both of them. What product do you suggest? Thanks

Expert Reply:
I would be happy to help you find the correct replacement hubs for your single axle trailer, but to recommend the correct parts I will need to know which inner and outer bearing your hubs use.
The easiest way to do this is by removing one of the hubs and looking for the bearing number stamped on the face of each bearing as you can see in the included picture of the # L44649.
If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers you will need to use digital calipers like the # PTW80157 to precisely measure your spindle according to the included diagram.
If you can provide either the bearing numbers, or spindle measurements I would be happy to recommend the correct replacement hubs for your trailer.
