If the spindles on your Reliable 2,700 pound axle are straight (same diameter in both bearing locations) then that indicates that it uses L44649 inner and outer bearings but if the spindles are tapered (inner bearing surface diameter is larger than the outer bearing surface diameter) then it will use L68111 for the inner bearing and L44649 for the outer.

If you pull a hub off and find that both bearings are L44649 you can use # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K if there are grease fittings at the ends of your spindles and the wheels have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If the spindles do not have grease fittings but you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern then you can use # AKHD-545-2-2K.

If you have the 4 on 4 bolt pattern with grease fittings use # 8-173-16UC3-EZ. And for the 4 on 4 without grease fittings use # 8-173-16UC3.

If the inner bearing is L68111 we won't have a hub for it. The key is to look at the bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings. That will ensure that we can select the right parts for you.

Overpacking the trailer hub with grease is the number one reason for grease seal failure. For a boat trailer I would recommend re-packing the hubs by hand with grease once per season and you'd be fine. I don't like recommending people use…

I would agree you are going to have a much easier time finding wheels with a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern than 5 on 5-1/2 inch as that's not a very common size. Most likely the hub part #CE13109 that you referenced is a confirmed fit but you might…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
