Trailer Hub identification

[Rannsachair]

I am looking into replacing one of the hubs on my boat trailer ( studs are damaged) and am struggling to identify what they are:

The studs are 4 x M12 on 5.5" PCD.

The brake drum diameter is measuring 197mm:
I cannot find any markings on it and I have not had hubs before with such a long front bearing carrier built in.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Can you not replace the studs?

The good trailer place, near Salisbury do new press/pull in studs

Yes would be an option, though I like to keep a spare hub with bearings fitted on the shelf. Strangely there are bolts on one hub and studs on the other which is annoying me, I must have some OCD!

Dont be thrown by the extension tube, its not part of the bearing carrier. It looks like one of those lube tube extensions that knocks in.

I could be completely wrong here, but to me that looks like a “bearing saver” pressed into the hub and not part of the original casting

Bearing buddies I know them as.

Thanks folks - there were no guts in the bearing saver, no wonder it took my brother half an hour to get the split pin out the nut!

It is a standard Indespension 200mm drum

Can't you just replace the studs?

(P.S. Good luck for the coming week, Tom )

Yes, I have ordered a set (under £7) as @The_Yellow_Ardvark suggested but I always like to have a spare hub with bearings pressed in ready to fit.

Well I managed to press out the old studs, they shot out like bullets. Then onto the new studs, first 3 pressed in ok, last one went in with a bang and cracked the hub

As well I had ordered a new hub too, though not cheap at £99 plus the bearings....
