Will Dexter Trailer Hub # 8-259-50 Fit 1-1/4 Inch Spindle on Trailer
Question:
will this idler hub fit on a 1-1/4inch spindle?

Expert Reply:
If you have a 1-1/4 spindle like the TryuRyde # TRU94FR, then the Dexter Trailer Hub # 8-259-50 that you referenced will fit perfectly. With this in mind, I do recommend verifying the bearing numbers for your current hubs or taking a few measurements along the spindle where the bearings sit. You will want to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157, as the measurements need to be exact. I have attached an image to assist.
This Dexter Trailer Hub uses the # L44643 or # L44649 inner and outer bearing, which features an inner diameter of exactly 1 inch and 1.063 inches respectively. It is rated for 2,000 pound and 2,200 pound axles and has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. You will also want to just make sure that this matches the bolt pattern on your wheels. I have included an article on measuring the bolt pattern if you are not sure what you have.
