Marine-grade hub is designed for use on trailer idler axles. Fits 2,000-lb axles with BT8 spindles. Inner bearing (L44643) and race, outer bearing (L44643) and race, grease seal, grease cap, and lug nuts included. Galvanized finish is rust resistant.
Features:
Specs:
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

I did not receive the Hubs. I received Tandem-Axle Hangers Item H248 instead. I've attached a photo of what I received. Please advise next steps to get the two hubs, Items AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K TRAILER IDLER HUB ASSEMBLY 2000 LB AXLES- 4 ON 4 GALVANIZED. Shipping was great and the parts I did receive look to be very good quality. Thank you
Parts fit perfect. I just wish the kit included a cotter pin.
The old hubs were frozen in place and the grease inside was completely dried, including the bearings. I opted to replace entire hub as I new I would damage something trying to get the old races out of the old hubs. Clean up the spindles and proceed with the install. It was fast and easy.
I thought the hubs and bearings looked good and the install went OK. Took the boat out for one fishing trip and get back home to see both sides are trashed. The left side completely pushed my bearing buddy out and looks like it may have been riding on the axle spindle. I don't know if the outer races weren't completely seated in the hub when they were shipped or if the bearings are absolute junk. If they are going to ship the hubs with the races pre-installed they should be seated properly if you ask me.
Great replacement for Hobie Kayak trailer used in saltwater... hubs look like they will hold up better being galvanized. Great bearing and seal replacement.... great fit.
Shipping was very fast and parts were spot on.
Just as described. Nicely packaged. Quality parts at a great price. It would be nice if a cotter pin was included. Because if your not a mechanic like me and have some. You are going to have to make a trip to the parts store to complete your project. Other than that I highly recommend getting your parts here. I used these hub to convert a log splitter to a hub and wheel assembly instead of the one piece. Worked perfectly.
Parts arrived as shown and were easily installed. They were used on my boat trailer so the galvanized hubs were a perfect fit. Etrailer is easy to work with and communicates the progress of your order via email.
Great fit, great customer service.
I thought this came pre assembled but it did not
Perfect fut!!! Got our bow fishing boast ready to hit the water!!
Had a strange hub that used lug studs and one of the threads stripped. This item was cheap, shipped quick, and put my utility trailer back in service. No complaints, would buy again.
As always e.trailer delivered quickly and everything was well packaged. I've been using e.trailer a lot recently and they are on top of their game.
I should have known but I didn't read reviews. No Cotter pin! That is such an easy thing to add but they don't. It requires a trip to the store making this a pain in the rear. Would be a cool bonus to add a new nut as well. I think the instructions are not very in depth either but still a good product.
Great price. However, after tightening the bearings down so the wheel moves freely, there seems to be a little bit of a grinding noise. If I loosen it too much, then there's some wobble in the hub. Will know the next time I take the boat out. If I hear any grinding and if the hub gets warm, we'll have to contact customer service. For the price, if I get 2 years out of the bearings I'd be happy. I would have preferred a better bearings that were smooth, maybe higher quality like a timken.
Hubs look good. No problems.
Seems in this day and age something always comes up. Not with thease hubs and bearings. Everything was as described and fit like a glove. I'm really looking forward to getting my boat out now.
Good part. Unfortunately the grease seals didn't hold up. Need to replace them.
Made my conversion easy
Great product!
great product
Great product! Made quick work of rebuilding my axle.
You can’t beat Etrailer for service and availability of parts.
I purchased this a pair of these hubs for my huskee 20 ton log splitter. I got tired of taking the bearings out when I needed to fix a flat or replace the tire. Kit included everything listed and I got replacement cotter pins from the local hardware store. The upgrade was easier than expected with everything fitting right down to the rear bearing seal!!
I purchased 2 tires and rims (item number AM30040) to match up to the new hubs. They are OEM tires and an upgrade to load rating that originally came with the splitter.
I would highly recommend this upgrade! product came nicely boxed up and came a few days earlier than expected.
one star taken off rating because I don't know how long they will last but they are excellent so far
Excellent hub for my utility trailer at a most reasonable price. Shipped quickly, seems to be a quality hub!
Good hub, good price. Purchased for a vintage Alloy brand boat trailer. Perfect replacement . Matches the hub on the other side which I purchased from Etrailer some years ago. Nice to have this stability in the products offered. The only addition I made was to also order a double lipped grease seal at the time of purchase, since this is a boat trailer application.

After a year of service, hub is working fine. The double lipped grease seals I added are also doing their job. No complaints!
The packing job was as bad as it gets. Spindles, hubs, and a tin of grease just chucked into the middle of the box between two wheels without a care in the world. That level of "I don't give a $#!+" from the warehouse crew is highly irritating. Otherwise would have left a better review as the products and service from etrailer are usually quite good. All it takes is for one link in the chain to break and it ruins the whole experience.
