Re: bearing size

You can't tell unless the hubs are removed and numbers taken from the bearings or the spindles measured. There are numbers on the inner and outer bearing races. You can take the model number off the trailer and then call EZ-Loader to find out the 1) the bearing numbers, or 2) the spindle size (or both). With that information, any bearing house in town should be able to supply the bearings.

Re: bearing size

You can't always do it with only the spindle size. Hub sizes can vary on the same size spindle. But like already suggested, call EZ and ask them for numbers.
