Yes, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-2K is a match for the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles part # TRU94FR. The bearings and seal are all a match so you will be good to go. There is also a rubber plug in the grease cap for the zerk fitting on the spindle so again, all is good.
