Here at etrailer we offer the tapered roller wheel bearings which are used in trailer applications whether the hubs take grease or oil. The biggest difference between the two styles of hubs is going to be the seals and dust caps.
The easiest way to determine the correct replacement bearings for your trailer is to remove the hub and find the part numbers that will be stamped on the inner and outer bearings. I have attached an article that goes over, from start to finish, the step by step instructions for replacing the bearings, races, and seals on a trailer hub.
If your bearings are damaged or you are not able to find the part numbers on the bearings, then you can take a few measurements on the spindle. You will need to know the inner diameters of the inner and outer bearing and the grease seal. These measurements will need to be very precise, down to a thousandth of an inch so I recommend using a digital caliper.
I have included a photo that shows where you can find the bearing part numbers on the bearings and where to measure on the spindle. You can then choose the correct bearings based on the part numbers or by the inner diameters.
If you would like to provide me with the above information, I would be happy to help you determine which parts that you will need.
