The bearing part # L44649 has an inner diameter of 1.063 and is typically used in 3,500 lb axle hubs and the # L44643 has an inner diameter of 1 inch and is typically used on 2,000 lb axle hubs.

If you can get me more info on your trailer like axle capacity and wheel bolt pattern I can help you pick out the components you are looking for.

From the information that I was able to find on the L44549 bearing, it shows it being a 1-1/16 inch bearing which is the same as Trailer Hub Bearing, #L44649. Just to be sure, I recommend measuring the L44549 bearing with a digital caliper to confirm…

There is no specific torque rating for shackle bolts. Basically for the middle bolt there should be enough free play in the shackles to allow them to move. Tightening the shackle bolts too much will squeeze the shackle straps against the leaf springs…

Answer 11

The bearing that you have on the trailer hub measures just under 1 inch (0.985) and we are not going to have a hub that accepts a bearing with an inner diameter of that size. This is common for the trailer kits like the Haul Master branded trailers.…
