Doing a bearing service

I have a tandem trailer for our 270. Its rated 9999 and has Kodiak parts as near as i can recall. It seems it would be easier to just replace the bearings rather than service them. Other than when I pull the hub off, is there  info on the hub itself for a model or do I just need to pull the bearings and go match them up? I think there is a number on the bearing itself - and I have to figure out the seals...is the rear bearing a tapered roller bearing with a race or just a roller bearing? I did service when first purchased but that was a long time ago.  Also, the cap for the break resovir is messed up. I've reached out to e trailer where I bought it with no support back from them...

    There's a good chance there are two different bearings,  a front and a back. 

    You should be able to get the part numbers off the bearings and seal in order to get the right components.  There's a chande your local autoparts or trailer shop has them in stock.  Both are tapered roller bearings with separate races.
