I spoke with EZ Loader about your trailer and they told me that you have an #84 spindle which means you can use the Bearing Kit for #84 Spindles part # BK2-100 to replace the bearings and races. However, the oil seal that you need is going to be a little bit harder to come by as manufactures just don't make oil seals for these smaller axles anymore. Therefore, the only option I have for you is to covert to grease, the Double Lip Seal for 3,700-lb Marine Hubs part # 168255TB is what you need. The other option you have is to just reuse the oil seal you have now if in good condition.

If you let me know the hub bore on your trailer hub then I can get you the correct grease cap or Bearing Buddy Bearing Protector if you want like part # BB1980A-SS.
