Trailer Hub Recommendation that Fits Spindle Dimensions 1.378 and 1.25 inch  

Hello, I have Hudson HSE 16 trailer that Im renovating: I intend to put on new 12inch hubs and breaks on the existing axles. The bearing currently on existing axles are L68149 inner diameter 1.378/depth 0.625/ and LM 67048 inner diameter 1.25inch / depth 0.625inch . It Looks as through your dexter hub and drum assembly 8-201-5uc3-ez will fit on the spindle if I replace one of the races to fit the L68149 bearing. The race part # I believe would be L68110. Can you confirm this would be my best option? Ill also buy 2 sets of self adjusting brakes AKEBRK-7-sa and new wheels AM20308 since I have new 7 x 14.5inch trailer tires currently fitted onto the exisiting mobile home rim/drums and want to keep them. If you have other suggestions please lets me know. thanks, asked by: Andy M Helpful Expert Reply: The only trailer hub and drum assembly we have available that will fit your existing spindles is the Redline # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. This is a 10 inch hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern designed for 4,400 pound hubs. The 12 inch Dexter Trailer Hub # 8-201-5UC3-EZ that you referenced will not fit the spindles on your trailer because the inner bearing it uses is much too large. This particular hub uses the # 25580 inner bearing that has a 1.75 inch inner diameter compared to the 1.378 inch inner diameter on an # L68149 bearing that your spindles are compatible with. The only way to upgrade to larger 12 inch hubs on your trailer will be to also replace your axles and spindles. I have attached a link that will take you to our available ion if this is something you are okay doing. You will need to take a measurement of both the hub face length and spring seat length on your existing axles to ensure a compatible replacement. helpful expert reply by: Chris R Chris, I have 12inch breaks and hubs presently. They attached to the axle with five bolts. How do I attach a 10inch break assembly to my axle. Also, will race L68110 convert the 12 dexter hub above to L68149 bearing. This seems a lot cheaper than buying new axle, breaks and hub
