It sounds like your trailer has a Dexter axle and 10" brake assemblies. Based on that information I'm willing to bet you have a 3,500 lb axle that uses # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings. I recommend verifying this information to be sure.

Assuming that is the case, you can use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 84656UC3-EZ. The hub and drum assembly has a 10" x 2-1/4" drum which will match your brake assembly. Also, the bolt pattern is the 6 on 5-1/2 you're looking for. This will work with 13" - 16" wheels.
