Expert Reply:
The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K and the Trailer Hub Assembly - 2,200-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - 8" - 12" Wheels - Galvanized # 8-259-50UC1-EZ are interchangible for 2000 lb axles. When using on a 2200 lb axle, you want the capacity of the # 8-259-50UC1-EZ. These assemblies use the same size bearings, and seals. They also have the same bolt pattern. The difference is in capacity and a slight difference in grease cap flange diameter.
