• Replacement Hub Recommendation for Trailer with L44649 Bearings, and L44649 and L68149 Bearings
  For your trailer hub that has bearing numbers # L44649 and a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch the trailer hub part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K that you referenced would be the correct hub. It comes with the correct grease seals as well. For additional seals though you'd need the part # 10-9. For a replacement spindle you'd want the part # TRU44FR.

• Replacement Idler Hubs for 4 x 7 Tarter Utility Trailer
  A 2000 lb axle uses a straight spindle, with both the inner and outer bearing being the same size. The hubs needed will depend on the number of lugs your current hubs have and which inner/outer wheel bearings are used. I'll give you a run-down on the possibilities below. If you have a 4 lug wheels, and a L44643 inner and outer bearing, you'd use # AKIHUB-440-2-1K for 5 lug wheels, use # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. Both fit wheels from 8 to 12 inches. If you have the L44649 inner and outer bearing,...

• Comparing Axle Tek and Titan Cast Iron Idler Hubs AKIHUB-545-2-1K & T4084600042
  Both of the idler hubs you referenced, AxleTek # AKIHUB-545-2-1K and Titan # T4084600042, feature cast iron construction. They both also share 1/2-inch wheel studs in a 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern. The difference between them is that the Titan hubs can also be used on a 2500-lb axle if it has a 1-inch spindle. The Axle Tek hubs are rated for a 2000-lb axle. Since both hubs use the same bearings (L44643) they will both fit the same spindles. For the few dollars more, the extra capacity of the...

• Replacement Hub Assembly for 1997 Shoreline Boat Trailer
  It sounds like you have a 2,000 lb axle on your 1997 Shoreline Boat Trailer. I'm also assuming you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern since you were looking at the # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K. In order to make sure you choose the right hub assembly you are still going to need to look at your bearings and identify them. You may be able to find a part number stamped on the side of your current bearings. If not, you will need to measure the inner diameter of the bearing or your spindle where the bearings...

• How to Determine Correct Replacement Bearings for Older Calkins Boat Trailer
  Oh how we wish, almost every day, that all trailer makers maintained detailed records of the components used in the fabrication of their trailers, but sadly, we do not live in that world. So, you will need to pull a wheel and hub, and check the numbers on the bearings and grease seal. I linked a photo that shows the typical placement and appearance of bearing and seal part numbers. With those part numbers in hand you can directly check our site for those parts by entering each number in...

• What Wheel Bearing Fits a Timken 07204 Race With a 1 Inch Axle
  From what I could find, the Timken 07204 Race has an outer diameter of 2.047 inches. The race that come with # DL21792 would have an outer diameter of 1.980 inches. This would be the closest option we have available. I can suggest a few replacement hubs that fit the 1 inch axle, however. If your wheels have a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern, you would need either # AKHD-545-2-1K or # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. If you have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, you would need # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-1K. You can verify the bolt...

• What Hardware Needed to Mount 7-Inch Trailer Brake Assembly
  The nuts and lock washers needed to install a 7 inch brake assembly to the brake mounting flange is part # BRKH7 which includes enough hardware for 2 brake assemblies. I'm not certain what you mean by 'drum without a hub'. If you're talking electric drum brakes, the 7 inch hub drums we offer are one integrated piece like # AKHD-545-2-2K which uses the L44649 inner/outer bearing or # AKHD-545-2-1K which is compatible with the L44643 inner/outer bearing. If instead you meant to say you...

• Trailer Hub that Can Fit on 2,000 lb Axle with 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern
  Are you sure the diameter of the spindle is 1.25 inches where both bearings ride? That's not typical for a 2,000 lb axle but if instead the diameter is 1.06 inch then you could use the hub part # AKIHUB-545-2-2K which has the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you need as well. If instead the spindle measures .99 instead you'd want the part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K.

• Trailer Hub for Old Boat Trailer with 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern and a 1 Inch Straight Spindle
  The 2 hubs in question use different bearings and seals. If the spindle is exactly 1 inch in diameter and the diameter where the seal rides is 1.249 inches then use # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. If the spindle diameter is slightly over 1 inch and the diameter where the seal rides is 1.5 inches then use # AKIHUB-545-2-2K. If you still have the old bearings you can check for any numbers stamped into the sides of them and that will determine which hub fits.

• Bearing Kit and Hub Recommendation that Fits BT8 Spindle on Trailer
  Since your inner and outer bearing surfaces measure .99 inch in diameter and the seal diameter is 1.24 inch you do have a BT8 spindle. The bearing kit we have for this spindle and the hub it's designed for is the part # BK1-100. The bearing, race, and seal number you mentioned do not match anything we have though so while the bearing kit I mentioned does fit the spindle it may not fit the hub. Safest option would be a new hub like the part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K for if you have a 4 on 4 inch...

• Comparing etrailer/AxleTek Trailer Hubs for 2K Axles and 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Patterns

• Which Hub Assembly Fits the Dexter Idler Axle Beam with BTR Spindles
  I have a solution for you, but the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 60" Long - 2,200 lbs # T20BTR-EZ-6048 has a BTR spindle that requires hubs with # L44649 bearings; the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 10" to 12" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-2-1K uses # L44643 bearings. Instead, you'll want to use something like the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8-258-5UC1-EZ, which uses # L44649 bearings...

• Replacement Hubs that Can Fit 2,000 lb Axle with 5 Lug Bolt Pattern
  The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K that you referenced is designed to fit the industry standard 2,000 lb capacity trailer axles with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like you have so most likely this will fit but you still should probably check. Take the hub off of your current axle and measure the diameter of the spindle where the bearings ride. If this dimension is 1 inch then this is the correct fit. If for some reason you get a different dimension let me know and I'll...

• Recommendation for Replacing 13 Inch Tires with 14 Inch Tires and Hubs on Trailer
  You can certainly upgrade to a 14 inch tire on your trailer as long as you have the clearance necessary for the larger diameter tires. If you are needing to replace the trailer hubs, you will first need to pull your existing units to check for the bearing numbers that are used. These should be stamped onto the bearings themselves. If you cannot locate the numbers, you can also measure the spindle at various locations where the bearings sit. You will want to use a digital caliper like...

• Will The AKIHUB-545-2-1K Hub Fit My SnowBear 5x8 Utility Trailer?
  As SnowBear trailers are still being produced, and haven't been around long enough for any of the weird/rare spindle options, you will not need to measure anything else to confirm the fitment of the etrailer.com Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. As you already verified the bolt spacing and the inner and outer bearing numbers, you are perfectly good to go.

• Can I Upgrade From 8 Inch to 15 Inch Wheels On a Boat Trailer
  It is possible to switch from 8" wheels to 15" wheels yes but, in addition to fender clearance issues you will also run into not having enough surface area on the hub for the larger wheel size. For example, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K which is common on 2,000 lb axles and what I suspect you have only has enough surface area to work with 12" wheels max. Therefore, in order to upgrade to 15" wheels you will also likely need to upgrade hubs as well as fenders. In...

• How to Determine if Trailer Can Switch to 5-Lug Hubs
  To do this you would need to switch your hubs from the current ones that have a 4-bolt pattern to ones with a 5-bolt pattern. This may be possible but you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings the current hub has. You will need to take apart the current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper...
