I reached out to EZ Loader to verify the correct parts for your boat trailer. They informed me it uses the Bearing # L44649 for both inner and outer and a grease Seal # 34823 with a 1.249" inner diameter. The CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13315 is our galvanized hub which uses these components as we do not carry the Vortex hubs brand.
