  • Trailer Hub That Uses Bearings LM11949 and LM67048
  • Both replacement trailer brakes and hub/drums should be selected based on the axle weight rating. The best way to select replacement hub/drums is to pull one of the hubs and remove its inner and outer bearings to obtain their part numbers. This is the easiest method to find a compatible hub. When not available measurements can be used but these need to be very precise, to the nearest thousandth of an inch, such as 1.234-inches. We do carry one bearing with an inside diameter of 0.75-inches,...

  • What Spindle Dimensions Does Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly AKHD-545-35-K Fit
  • For a trailer as old as yours I can say that it's pretty unlikely any of the hubs made currently are going to fit since designs have changed since then. But someone could have updated the axle to something newer so you never know. So the spindle of your axle would need to have diameters of 1.378 and 1.063 where the bearings ride for hub # AKHD-545-35-K to fit.
