Recommended Trailer Hub with 5 Lug Bolt Pattern with Bearings L68149 and L44649

Question

Question:

I have a 2000 boat trailer that came with the boat from Tracker. Boat is a Tahoe Q3. The owners manual states Wheel bearings Rear inner L68149 Front Outer L44649. Acceptable seals NOK: AD2527E. It is a 5 lug on 4.5. Is this enough info to confidently recommend new hub assembly? The boat is two hours away at my in laws so I am currently unable to take the wheel off to verify anything.

That is enough info to pick out the correct hub for your trailer. You have a very common 3,500 lb axle so for a hub drum you'd want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K or for just an idler hub # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K.

From what I could find out about the Super Lube Spindles, they will be much the same as the Dexter EZ-Lube style spindles, like the #TRU74FR. This will include a zerk/grease fitting on the end that allows a grease gun to attach to. With that being…

We do not carry the Tie Down Engineering hubs and caps, so I could not check for sure if they would fit the Tie Down Super Lube grease caps. I did get the measurements for the plugs and they will fit a 1-1/4 inch opening on a grease cap. If the…

If the axle tag on the trailer does not include the axle capacity then you'll have to pull the hubs and either measure the bearings and seals or record their part numbers. The most common bearing combo is a L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) and…
