trailer hubs

ok...so I got a mic and measured the spindle. It's 1 3/8 by 1 1/16. I'm thinking maybe someone installed the wrong inner bearing? It was a LM48548. The only info I have found on that bearing shows it's for a old agricultural trailer. I did find that a L68149 is more common and also is a 1 3/8. I am told one is wider than the other however. It needs a new hub for sure but I guess I will have to measure the length of the new with the old to see if it will sit on the spindle the same. I am not sure if these ol trailers were dexter axles or somthn else. I spotted what I think I need on etrailer but maybe I compare with a local dealer to be sure.

it pop'd right up with a search!! double check with the OD, bore and width. Do you have a micrometer????

Can't guarantee it but i think your spindles are 1-3/8 x 1-1/16. That was a common size for CC trailers with different size inner and outer bearings. You could pick up a complete set of bearings and races for those at just about auto parts or tractor supply store as they are very common. Little more work than replacing your hubs but less than half the price.

what is a diaries id? thats how I'm supposed to add a pic of my boat next to my name?

Have you tried a local trailer shop. Someone who makes,sells,repairs trailers.

Welcome Craig. Not knowing what you actually have for bearing size I can only guess. Look here towards the bottom of the page for hubs with 2 bearing sizes. I have bought from them before and have had good results.
