It's not a hard job, just messy. You can find videos of how to do it on YouTube and the like.
You may be able to find someone to do the work for you on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. Else, there are trailer service companies. An RV service company can likely come out and do the work too. You will want to source and use Timken bearings and the National Seals. I've bought the last few sets I've needed on Amazon. This was what I needed for MY trailer. Likely, not the same for you:

We were on the way to Loto one yr and lost a bearing on one hub. Found a mobile mech and he met us at the truck stop. I am sure there is one around there somewhere.

Red and tacky is your friend....

When I was younger I used to pack my own wheel bearings as I couldn't afford to have a garage do it. Later years I could afford to pay to have someone else to it. Then i had a failure after only a few 100 miles. Now I again do my own. I know it is done right and I can easily inspect brakes springs etc. I too use Red & Tacky grease.

Try Clark Tire in Sunrise Beach. Maybe they have a mobile service. They do bearings at the store. 2 friends have had their trailer serviced there. Might also try Trevor at Mid Mo Marine Services, he is a mobile service guy on drives etc.

If not jack up one side and block trailer pull hubs and bring to a local camper or trailer center, I did this last year one side at a time.

I freaking hate trailer wheel bearings. SO much grease/mess. Cars have wheel bearings that last 100,000+ miles with zero grease fittings, zero issues. Why can't I just buy those? I replaced one on my Jeep ONCE in ownership over many years. With zero maintenance.
