Trailer hubs

[aidy55]

Can someone walk me through the correct procedure in getting these hubs perfect. I've got the trailer perfect but have left hubs til last as I'm unsure of the process.

I've not painted the area as I know some parts cannot be painted...I tried removing the four nuts to remove the hub but it's actually welded to the frame...so have to work with it as is...

I've been able to remove the grease cap which I measured at 46mm. I can only find 45 and 47mm grease caps so will go for the 47mm, yes??

Still not sure on what is the correct bearings I need to get..anyone know how I identify the bearings... and do I just use copper grease....

Hope someone can help me get this wee trailer back on the road....ta

No brakes attached...yea I would have preferred to have two new hubs but I presume that means grinding off the existing hubs...

I don't think there is a trailer parts dept near me. Will my car parts shop stock these bearings?

Maybe replacing the hubs would be better. How would I go about this, grind off and reweld new hub...??

What kind of hubs do I need to get, is eBay my best bet?

I can weld ok but to be safe could I not just get some metal plate and bolt it together after I do the weld. I'm not ruling out replacing the full axle either.

Now whether or not I replace the full axle or just use stub axles, I'm replacing the hub either way. Any hubs I get will the wheels I have, will the be compatible??
