Log Splitter Hub Recommendation with BT8 Spindle
Question:
Hi, Im working on a log splitter that needs new wheel bearings as well as tires. It has 8 wheels with integral hubs. Im having a hard time getting the bearing races out of the wheels due to heavy rust. Since the tires are dry rotted and in need of replacement Im looking at different options. Im wondering if I would be able to install these hubs in place of the original wheel/hub assemblies? The original assemblies used 1 I.D. inner and outer bearings, and a 1.25 I.D. inner seal. I guess the only measurement Im concerned about is the span between the bearings. Is that normally a standard measurement with this size spindle? Measurement pictures are included, will this hub work for my application? Any help would be appreciated!

Based on your dimensions you have a BT8 style hub so the part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K you mentioned would fit and work well. The length of your spindle matches what this is compatible with as well.
