Expert Reply:

To determine if we have a replacement hub that will be compatible, you will need to use a digital caliper and take some measurements of your existing spindles. If you reply with the B, C and D dimensions you find (as shown in the diagram I provided) and the bearing numbers you have, I would be happy to try to find hubs that would be compatible with your bearings.

The UFP H-1377 correlates to a Dexter #84 spindle, which is for a 3,500 pound axle. This will utilize an inner bearing #L68149 and an outer bearing #L44649. As this is being used on a boat trailer, I highly suggest going with the etrailer.com…
