How Do I Determine What Bearings and Hub are Needed for my Double Axle Trailer

Question:

I picked up a double axel fast load trailer that needed all new hubs and drum brakes. The hubs fit fine and one of the drums fit but the Right spindle I found was different then the other three with a more steep radius in the back and the bearing L68149 will not fit over it. Any ideas on the type of spindle this is and if I can use the hub I have with a different bearing? Thanks,

In order to determine what bearings you will need and whether or not you will be able to use the hub, you will need to take a couple of measurements on your spindle. I am including a diagram which illustrates the measurements that are needed.

Once you have these measurements we will be able to determine what bearings are needed and from there, be able to tell whether you will be able to use the hub that you currently have.

Please feel free to email me with your spindle measurements and the brand/part number of your hub and I would be happy to help.
