Recommendation For Replacement Hubs For 4 x 7 Utility Trailer With 5 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern
Question:
Hi, I recently purchased a 4 x 7 utility trailer, and I am looking for two replacement 5 lug hub kits that will fit it. I know nothing about this subject, but from what I have gathered so far, I know that my outer bearings have an inner diameter of 3/4 inch and the inner bearings have an inner diameter of 1 and 3/8 inch. I know you may need more info from me, but not sure what other info you may need. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Based on the information you sent me, it looks like you have a 3,500-lb trailer axle with 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern which often have inner bearings like Item # L68149 and outer bearings like Item # L44649.
For your 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern, I recommend Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, Item # AKIHUB-555-35-K. This assembly comes with bearings, races, seals, grease cap, and lug nuts.
I want to encourage you to either find a stamped bearing size or measure your spindle with a digital caliper like Item # PTW80157 to confirm the fit. I am attaching an article and a picture that will help you.
If this will not work for you, send me your bearing sizes and I will make a correct recommendation.
I am attaching additional information and videos as well as a link to our hub department to assist you with your project.
