I did some research, and based off of the Shorelandr part number you gave me ss818, is for a 1-1/16 INCH X 1-1/16 INCH Hub and bearing kit with 1/2" wheel studs and a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 8-258-5UC1-EZ you referenced is the correct replacement, but I understand needing the parts asap.

The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K has all the same specifications, so it will work with your trailer. The nice thing about this hub is that it's galvanized so it is ideal for boat trailers, or any trailer that is going to see moisture a lot.

The kit comes with the hub, bearings, races (preinstalled), seal, grease cap, and even new lug nuts. LubriMatic Marine Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease # L54FR, a LubriMatic Economy Size Mini Grease Gun # L30100, and a bearing packer # PTW1218 will make things much smoother when installing the new hubs. These are sold individually so you'll want to get a set for each axle on your trailer.

You can check out the products with the included links, as well as a couple review videos that I attached.

Shoreland'r parts are not something that we carry but their numbers are often associated with common parts. The 4410275 is the same as the GS-1250XDL which doesn't come back to anything we have information on. There is a GS-1250DL which…

If both your inner and outer bearings are #L44649 then you most likely have a BTR spindle and would need a #10-9 grease seal. You can check the spindle at point B for the inner diameter and the inside of the hub for the outer diameter of the seal. If…

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…

Answer 12

The BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643 bearing. In…
