Recommended Spindles, Hub Assemblies, And Wheels For Old Trailer With Bearings In The Rim
Question:
Hi, I have an old trailer that has a 5 lug 10 bolt pattern wheel with the bearings in the rim. The outer bearing is a LM67049 and the inner is a KL68149. Id like to replace the wheels with standard hubs in order to use standard 5 lug wheels and rims. Any help?

I have a hub for your trailer, but unfortunately we don't have a hub that will work with the inner diameters of your current bearings. You would need to replace your spindle to upgrade your system. You will need to consult a qualified trailer fabricator to have the old spindles removed and new spindles welded on. We carry the parts that would be needed.
For the spindle, I recommend the EZ Lube Spindle # TRU74FR. This will have the built in grease zerk for easy maintenance.
For the hubs, I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 5-1/2 # AKIHUB-555-35-EZ-K. This is the complete assembly you need including the bearings seal and grease cap. It also includes the lug nuts for the 1/2 inch wheel studs.
For your wheels and tires, I then recommend the Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Wheel # MX97FR. This is the most common size wheel for that bolt pattern. This tire has a speed rating of 81 mph and has a load capacity of 2,150 lbs at 65 psi. These tires and wheels have great tread and are ideal for highway driving.
