How to Find Replacement Hub for Trailer with Bower 2788 Bearing
Question:
Hello I am looking for inner and outer bearing with the seals. Only numbers I could find was on the larger inner bearing which was Bower 2788 am was wondering if the outer corresponded with that one and if you have a kit with everything in it? I also need two hubs with electronic brakes however I am unsure what I need to find out which one I should get. Any information would be much appreciated thank you.

We do have the Replacement Trailer Hub Bearing # 2788 that installs on a hub using the Race # 2729, but the only hub we've confirmed a fitment with this on an older discontinued hub made for 5.2K axles with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.
Over the years hubs have mixed and matched bearings so the only way to make sure we get you the correct replacement parts is if you measure the different parts of your trailer spindle and let me know what you found. It would also be helpful to know the weight rating of your axles - this can be found on a sticker or tag in the middle of the axle itself.
Attached is a photo showing where you'll need to measure the spindle.
