To determine if you will be able to convert your mobile home style axles over to a standard bolt pattern you will need to measure your spindle. I have included a image below showing the measurement points you will need to find the diameter for using a Caliper # PTW80157. Once you have the measurements for your spindle let me know so I can confirm if you are able to replace your hubs or if you will need to have a new Spindle # TRU74FR welded to your axle for new Brakes # AKEBRK-35-SA and Hubs # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K.
