Expert Reply:
I am not sure of the exact model hub and drum assembly you have on your trailer, but the etrailer.com Trailer Hub and Drum # AKHD-865-8-K that we have for 8,000 pounds axles weighs around 68 pounds. Looking through the other similarly rated hub assemblies we have available, it looks like they all have a weight of around this number. With that being said, it does look like our hubs are a bit different than what your trailer is currently equipped with based on the picture you attached. Your hubs do look heavier than the options we have on our site.
With all of that in mind, I think you can confidently tell your coworker that the hubs on your trailer weigh quite a bit more than 40 pounds.
