You will want the Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly - 7,000 lbs Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Nev-R-Lube # 8-385-81SP or # 8-385-82UC3 which also includes the lug nuts and grease cap. Both assemblies include the bearings and there is not a hub that comes without them.

The bearings are not pressed in but rather have a snap ring. I recommend keeping your current bearings as a backup or removing the new bearings to keep until needed.
