Locating Replacement Hubs for 2011 Forest River R-Pod 172 with E-Z Lube Axle
Question:
My R Pod has EZ Lube axles, which I dont see as an option if I search for a hub w/ integrated drum for 3,000lb axles. Will this work on my trailer if the diameter and bolt pattern are good? Thanks!

In order to determine if the etrailer.com Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K (or any other replacement hub) will fit your 2011 R Pod 172 Camper you will need to find the inner and outer bearing sizes that are used for the existing hub. This determines whether the hub will physically fit over the trailer spindles.
There should hopefully be a number stamped right inside the bearings themselves but if you can't read them you can also take a few measurements along the spindle where they sit with a digital caliper. I have attached an image to assist.
For example, the etrailer.com 3,500 pound hub mentioned above uses the # L68149 inner bearing and the # L44649 outer bearing. If you can tell me the bearing numbers or the measurements you get, I will be happy to verify if this hub will work or recommend another option if not.
