Helpful Expert Reply:

The bearing that you have on the trailer hub measures just under 1 inch (0.985) and we are not going to have a hub that accepts a bearing with an inner diameter of that size. This is common for the trailer kits like the Haul Master branded trailers. You have 2 options though.

First, to obtain the right size replacement parts you would have to go to through the manufacturer since the hubs are not a common size.

Second, and the best option, replace the axle so that you will not run into this problem again! It certainly beats hunting around for parts and the quality will be an improvement. I have including a link to the axles we currently offer for you to view. We even have some axle-less suspension systems that you may be interested in.
