From the information that I was able to find on the L44549 bearing, it shows it being a 1-1/16 inch bearing which is the same as Trailer Hub Bearing, # L44649.

Just to be sure, I recommend measuring the L44549 bearing with a digital caliper to confirm that it's inner diameter does measure 1.063 inches.

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…
