Can Galvanized Dexter 3,500 lb Hub 8-248-50 be Used on EZ Lube Spindle
Question:
Jameson - what about this one? AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K It's not Dexter but is it a suitable replacement? Looks more like the one I am replacing. Existing hubs do not look like star/spokes. Doesn't the above include the Lubed dust cap & plug?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Kodiak Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # Q-HUB84545 that you referenced is perfectly compatible with EZ lube spindles. The only difference between the hubs that are EZ lube and non-EZ lube is the cap style.
So for an EZ lube style cap that fits this hub you'd just need the part # DC200L-DCRP and you'd be set.
