Good part. Appears to work well.

I purchased these hubs, spindles, wheels and tires for a machine that I'm building. Initially, I tried to source them locally, but nobody had all six items that I needed. So I turned to etrailer again, and was very well pleased. All the items are of very high quality and work together without any modification. And the price, including the (free) shipping from etrailer was less than any local vendor, and they were delivered in less than a week. etrailer comes through once again! Thank you, etrailer!



by:

Should do the job. One of the two had some surface rust on it in the bearing area. Nothing real bad just needs some scotchbrite

  • Spindle Compatible With Trailer Idler Hub Assembly AKIHUB-440-2-1K
    The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - L44643 Bearings - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-440-2-1K won't fit your trailer spindle as it will be too long. The reason is, this hub is designed to work on BT8 spindles, which are longer than what you have. The only solution we can offer is to replace your short and older spindles with a new one that will work with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-1K, which is the BT8 Spindle for 2,000 lb Trailer Axles # TRU59FR.

  • Compatibility of TRU59FR Spindle with AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K Hub
    Yes, they are indeed compatible. The # TRU59FR spindle is compatible with the L44643 inner and outer bearing and the 34823 grease seal. The # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K hub kit includes the L44643 inner and outer bearing, the 34823 grease seal, the inner and outer race, grease cap and lug nuts. The hub as a 4 on 4 bolt pattern.

  • Determining if 2,000 lb Axle Needs 1-1/4 inch or 1-3/8 inch BT8 Spindle
    With trailer axle components there isn't typically a way to know what you need before getting into the hub/spindle area. Basically you'll need to remove your old one first and determine if you need the 1-1/4 inch BT8 part # TRU94FR or the 1-3/8 inch # TRU59FR.

  • Replacement Trailer Idler Hub With Inner Bearing 1.25" and Outer Bearing 0.75" Inner Diameters
    The only hub we carry that will fit your spindle size is the Agricultural Hub # AH15450ECOMP, as most have changed over to the more common BT8 # TRU59FR and BTR # TRU44FR. The agricultural hub is only rated for speeds up to 20mph and uses a 4 on 5" bolt pattern. You can have your spindles replaced to one of the more common sizes but this is best done at a trailer manufacturer so they can true up the ends of the spindle to ensure it is welded on straight. Otherwise if you can give me dimesnions...

  • Should a Spindle That is Chipping be Replaced
    Anytime that a spindle is starting to take damage you will want to replace it as that will affect the performance of your bearings and seal. In this case since that chipping is right where the seal sits (as you mentioned) that will eat at the rubber seal which will likely cause it to fail. A failed seal will leak grease and cause further damage to your spindle/hub area. From the picture you sent in it looks like you have a round BT8 spindle. For replacements we have parts # TRU94FR, #...

  • Axle Recommendation for a Converted Off-Road Trailer
    If you are planning on purchasing a new trailer axle it will have a spindle already attached to it. Installing spindles is a very precise job that should only be done by a qualified fabricator with trailer fab experience. Since your planning on using the trailer for off-road purposes a better option might be the Timbren Axle-Less systems like the # ASR2KHDS03. This will give the trailer a 4 inch lift, is setup for wide off-road tires, will give better ground clearance than a standard axle,...

  • What Replacement Spindle Do I Need for a Dexter 69-46 Spindle?
    As far as removing your current spindle, you will need to grind/drill off the old one. One the old spindle is removed, I recommend the BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # TRU59FR (for a 1-3/8 diameter) or the # TRU94FR (for 1-1/4 diameter). The measurement of the diameter is the stub (innermost tube on the spindle). In order to get the correct size, I recommend measuring the stub of your old spindle once it is removed. I went ahead and attached videos of both of these spindles in order...

  • Compatible Hub for TRU44FR BTR Spindle
    The # TRU44FR spindle you'd looked at is compatible with an L44649 inner and outer bearing, like what's used by the # CE13109. The hub includes the inner and outer bearing and race, the grease seal, the dust cap and the lug nuts. The hub has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. For a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, use # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K.

  • How to Determine the Correct Replacement Spindle With Bearing 07100
    Bearing 07100 are older bearings with the same dimensions as bearing # L44643. The spindles that uses those inner and outer bearings are # TRU94FR and # TRU59FR. The difference between these is one measurement, the furthest outer diameter, which is 1.25" on TRU94FR and 1.38" on TRU59FR.

This hub fits the BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR which is 1" in diameter and has a length of 4-1/4" long from the inner bearing landing to the end of the threads.

  • Replacement Hub For A 1949 Or 1950 TeeNee Boat Trailer With Short Spindles
    I have a solution for you, but as the short spindles have not been produced for some time now, there will not be a hub that will fit them properly, unfortunately. You will need to replace the spindles with the BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # TRU59FR. If you are or know a good welder, this can be done pretty easily, but you need to make sure the cross tube connecting the two spindles has an inner diameter of 1-3/8" (typically a 1-3/4" outer diameter). Once these are on, the CE...

  • Unable to Identify 4 Inch Spring That Fell Off While Repacking Bearings
    The only spring you may come across while repacking the bearings would be from the brake assembly. I would check out the brake assembly and see if it looks like a spring is missing. I have attached two different photos of brake assemblies which are labeled that you may reference to find the springs depending on what you have. There are also numerous photos and videos on the product page if you would like to look at the # AKEBRK-35-SA Electric Trailer Brake Kit.

  • Depth Measurement For Hubs That Fit A 1" Straight Spindle
    We do have hubs available for a 1" straight spindle in part # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-1K. This hub measures 4-1/4" deep so it will run a bit longer than the hub you are looking for. There are a total of 4 hubs that we carry for a 1" straight spindle and all 4 would be identical as far as depth. A lot of these older boat trailers use hubs that are trailer specific, and it may prove very difficult to find. We do carry replacement spindles like part # TRU59FR, if you want to change it out for a more...

  • Recommended Replacement Spindles for up to 2,000 lb Axles
    For your replacement spindles, you will want the BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR for a round axle or # TRU97FR for a square axle. This will give you the dimensions you referenced. You will want to have a professional shop do the welding to ensure they are safely attached and won't have any angle that could cause problems with your bearings, hubs, or wheels.

  • Which Trailer Hub and Bearings Fit Spindle # TRU59FR
    For spindle # TRU59FR, you can use hub # AKIHUB-440-2-1K. This hub comes with the proper bearings # L44643 inner and outer. The Cap has an outer diameter of 1.986 outer diameter and Seal # 34823. The hub assembly is a 4 on 4 bolt pattern for 2,000 pound axles. You will want to make sure that the old bearings are stamped with L44643. If they have different numbers, let me know what they are and I can determine what the correct replacement hub is.

  • How to Find a Replacement Spindle and Hub for a 5x10 SnowBear Utility Trailer with 2000 lb Axle
