How can I find out what size hub I will need to have

[maachuu]

as a spare for my boat trailer ? I have a spare and jack and other stuff in my tow vehicle if I have a flat on my boat trailer but I dont have a spare hub. Saw a trailer setting on the side of the road the other day and put me to thinking that I might need to get one. I know some of you guys if not all carry a spare hub with you and just wanted to get me one just in case

All you have to do is remove the spindle nut and slide your hub off.....then measure your spindle ( you will need a caliper to do this) where the two bearings run.... some are the same dia. front and back and some have a bigger bearing on the back. With the two meaurements you will have what you need to buy a spare hub complete with bearings and seals.

Measure the diameter of the spindle. That will tell you which hub kit to buy. A complete hub kit should cost you around 50 bucks. The sizes are 1", 1 1/16, 1 1/4, 1 3/8. I edited this post. I incorrectly said axle instead of spindle before.

Thanks G, they are the same size bearing front and rear if I remember right, they are the common bearing kit because I have bought them at Walmart and parts stores too
