asked by: Tom
Expert Reply:
Yes, this Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, # AKIHUB-440-2-1K, is compatible with our TruRyde BT8 Spindle, # TRU94FR. The BT8 spindle requires inner and outer bearing L44643 and a grease seal with an inner diameter of 1.24 inches, which the hub uses. This hub and spindle combination was designed for a 2,000 lb trailer axle.
The only additional item that you will want is suitable trailer grease. We use red grease like part # L11380.
