Replacement Idler Hubs For A 7,000 Pound Axle With 9/16 Inch Studs

Question:

Hi, I was wondering if you had any idler hubs for 7000k axle 8 X 6.5 with 9\16 studs? My current one has 9\16 studs, so not sure if the 1\2in would be ok

When it comes to replacing your Idler Hubs on your 7,000 pound axle with 9/16 inch studs, The Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 7K Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 # AKIHUB-865-7-1-EZ-K will work for you.

This trailer hub assembly includes everything you will need to install. They have a sturdy iron construction, and have a zinc-enriched paint finish. These hubs are compatible with standard axles from most manufacturers, including Dexter, Lippert (LCI), and AL-KO.

The hubs will fit a wheel size between 16 inches to 17-1/2 inches and have a bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2 inches.

The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube or etrailer Easy Grease axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.

I attached an installation video link below.
