Helpful Expert Reply:
I was not able to locate any information on your trailer's wheel hubs. However, there is a simple way to determine the correct hubs that will work for you.
The first thing you'll have to look at is your wheel bolt pattern. I've attached an article on determining your bolt pattern for you.
You'll also need to determine your axle capacity. This information can usually be found on the axle itself.
Finally, you'll need to determine which inner and outer bearings numbers you currently have so that you can match them. I've attached an image showing where to locate your bearing number, or, if that information is not visible, how to measure the inner diameter of your bearings to determine the correct replacement size. I've included a couple of articles on bearings, hubs, and axles for you as well. Note that measurements, if needed, should be taken to the nearest thousandth of an inch using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 for the most accurate reading.
I've attached a link to our list of hub assemblies. Once you determine the information mentioned above, you can use the filters on the left side of the page to further narrow down your options. Or, if you'd like to send me the measurements, I will be happy to make a recommendation for you.
