Right Replacement Hubs for a Trailer with 3500 Pound Axle and 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern

Question:

Good morning. I have a single axis, 3500 pound, utility trailer and purchased replacement wheels only to find I have 5 on 4-1/2inch hubs but purchased 5 on 5inch wheels. Id like to purchase new hubs from you but want to make sure they will work with the axles I have. Ive printed out your How to Determine Correct Bearings, Races and Grease Seals cut sheet.

In order to determine the correct replacement hubs for your trailer I will need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings. If the axle has a grease zerk fitting at the end then it is an EZ lube axle. If there is no grease fitting then it is a regular axle.

Hub # 84545UC1-EZ is for EZ lube axles and it uses inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649.
