To find the correct replacement hub you will need to know if the hub is designed to fit the spindles on your trailer. The best way to find the right components is to remove your hub and check out the bearings and race you have. I have attached a drawing that shows where you can typically find the numbers.

If you cannot find the part numbers you can use a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 and measure the spindle in the locations noted on the drawing.

You said you have a 5-bolt pattern on your existing hub. Since there can be several different bolt patterns I recommend you check out the attached helpful article that explains how to measure your wheels to determine the bolt pattern.

Once you determine the wheel bolt pattern you need, you can take a look at the link to our product page for hubs I have attached and use the filters to find the right hub for your trailer. Or you can let me know what you have for bearing and race measurements and what the wheel bolt pattern is and I can make recommendations for you. Also, let me know if you need idler hubs or if you have brakes.
