The replacement hub assembly will depend on the size and weight rating of the axle. We have many options for hubs for 2,000 lb axles if it is that light of a trailer. This is the smallest axle size we offer replacement hubs for. I have provided the link to our website for 2,000 lb axles and a link for our other replacement hubs below.

If you provide the bearing numbers, I can match them to a hub assembly that will fit your trailer.

Answer 6

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…
