I can not find any info on that hub part number so I am not able to help determine what would be the correct replacement. If you can get me the trailer axle capacity and the wheel bolt pattern that would be all we'd need to pick out correct replacement. For example, the Dexter hub/drum part # 8-247-50UC3-EZ is for the very common 3,500 lb axle and has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
