Looking for Hub to Replace Dico # 45263

Question:

I dont know much about trailers. I saw someone ask the same question about the dico hub part #45263 that I need to replace. Do they not make any more of these hubs? I wouldnt be able to give you the measurements due to not having the right equipment to measure them. Also these bearings inside them dont show any numbers on them so I wouldnt be able to give that information out as well. All I can show is the picture that Ive attached. Anything helps right now because I would like to get the trailer fixed ASAP.

You are going to need to track down a dial caliper or micrometer. I did some online research and wasn't able to find any results for a Dico 45263 hub, but I might be able to get you an equivalent.

I'll need some more information to find you a replacement, including the number of lugs and bolt circle of the existing hub, the inner and outer bearing reference numbers, the grease seal reference number and whether it's a idler hub or a hub/drum. Since the numbers are unavailable, I'll need the diameters of the inner and outer bearing and grease seal journals on the spindle. I'll need precise dimensions, so a digital caliper would need to be used.

If you could reply with this information, I'd be happy to look for a replacement.
