Mobile home axles are intended for one time use and 99% of the time they do not use standard bearing combinations. Based on those measurements you have # 603049 and # LM67048 bearings which won't match up to any replacement hub. Your only option is to replace the axle with a standard trailer axle. I have attached a link to all of our axles below as well as a video which explains how to measure.
