While we know the axle capacity, the bearing kits like # BK3-300 are specific to the spindle that is installed so you will need to remove the hub to get the part numbers from the inner and outer bearings to determine the correct replacement parts for your spindles.

You will need to safely support the trailer, remove the wheel and tire, remove the grease cap, remove the cotter pin and washer that secures the spindle nut, remove the spindle nut, and then you will be able to remove the hub from your trailer.

The included photo of the parts provides where the part numbers are located and the areas that you will need to measure if your parts do not have part numbers etched on them.

Included are a couple of helpful video resources as well.
