Expert Reply:
When it comes to finding replacement hub and drums on your trailer we will first need to know what your current inner and outer bearing numbers are on your current 55 Chevy Spindle. Most bearings have engraved numbers on them. You will have to give them a hot water soap bath. If you're unable to see the number you can taking measurements of the bearings with a digital caliper # PTW80157. You will need to take the inner and outer diameters of the bearings, seals, and the spindle of your axle.
The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K has an inner and outer bearing # L44649. The bearing has a 1.063 inch inner diameter. If you could reach back out to me with the measurements you get from your bearings I will be able to find you the correct ones.
