I believe what you are looking for is our part # K12WB2. This has a thread diameter of 1/2 inch, a spline diameter of .54 inch (I know you said .56), and is overall 2 inches. This is our closest option and is a very standard stud seen for trailer hubs so I'd be surprised if this wasn't exactly what you need.

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…
