Replacement Hubs for # 84 Spindle on Trailer
Question:
AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K Will this replace the Dexter Hub 8-256? The bearings in the current hub are the 68110 and 44649. It would appear to be the #84 spindle, but I do not have a complete drawing with dimensions of the 84. I realize it will convert to the 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern, which is what I want to do to fit standard trailer wheels., and I am looking at also purchasing your The other hub I am looking at is the 545-35-G-K. The tire / wheel combo I am looking at for this is your AS225B645SMPVD. The trailer manufacturer is DandB Trailer MFG., Inc from Sikeston, MO is no longer in business under that name. 3,500 lb GAW If you can provide a fully dimensioned drawing of hub or the spindle intended for, it may help as I could compare dimensions with my calipers. I do have a sketch if needed. Thank you

The etrailer.com Trailer Hub Assembly for 3,500 Pound Axles # 8-248-50UC1 referenced in your question will work great as a replacement hub on your trailer. It uses the inner bearing # L68149 (which is typically used with the # 68110 race you mentioned) along with the outer bearing # L44649. As you mentioned, this is an idler hub that has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. For the trailer hub and drum assembly you can use # AKHD-545-35-G-K. This will work with 10 inch x 2-1/4 inch electric and hydraulic brake assemblies.
As long as the bearing sets on the replacement hub match up with your existing units, they will work and fit onto the trailer's spindle, as this will indicate their fitment to a particular spindle size.
I have included video demonstrations on both of these trailer hubs so you can see exactly how each of them look. I have also attached a couple of articles on trailer hubs and bearings that you might find helpful.
When choosing replacement tires and wheels, I recommend checking the size as listed on your existing tire sidewall to ensure you are getting a correct match. The Taskmaster AS225B645SMPVD mentioned in your question is a ST225/75D15 size bias tire mounted onto a 15 inch steel wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. This is a nice set that will provide a maximum load of 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. It includes a 2-year limited warranty on both the tire and wheel.
