Can the Agricultural Style 4 on 5 Inch Hubs Be Replaced with a More Common Bolt Pattern

Question:

I have the dexstar 4 bolt style rims on my trailer but they are the circle middle kind I was wondering if maybe I can switch the hub instead of the whole axle

It is possible to replace just the trailer hub instead of the whole axle but I would need to know what bearings your current hub has in order to see if that is possible. For example, the only trailer hub we offer with a 4 on 5" bolt pattern is the Trailer Hub Assembly part # AH15450ECOMP and this uses an LM67048 inner and LM11949 outer bearing therefore can be replaced with the Trailer Hub Assembly part # DX22XR because this also uses those same bearings. The Grease Seal SL150 part # SL150 would also be needed for this particular swap.

If you cannot find any part numbers on your existing bearings you can use the attached help article that walks you though how to measure them.
