Determining Replacement Trailer Hub For Long Chih LCI-880P Boat Trailer

Question:

I am trying to figure out which wheel hub assembly I need. Mine seized up. I have gotten it off, but cant find a part number on the bearings or the hub or the internet. The trailer is a Long Chih Model # LCI-880P. It is a 4 post hub assembly. I would prefer to replace the entire hub rather than just the bearings. Do you have a wheel hub assembly compatible with this model? Thanks

You will need to measure your spindle with a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to find the bearing and grease seal sizes(see image). The information I was able to find shows that your spindle may use the Bearing # L44643 with a 1" spindle or it will use a 30205 metric size 25mm bearing. If you have the 1" spindle the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-1K to replace your current hub assembly.

If you have the metric size spindle I will be able to help you find a replacement axle that uses the more common 1" spindle. I will need the dimensions of your axle from hub face to hub face as well as the spring center to spring center.
