Helpful Expert Reply:

For your 1996 EZ Loader trailer you will need to get the parts individually as we do not have a kit with all the correct parts.

Inner Bearing # L68149
Inner Race # L68110
Outer Bearing # L44649
Outer Race # L44610
Grease Seal # 168233

I recommend using LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 for the bearings. Its is highly water insoluble and able to withstand extreme pressures at hot and cold temperatures.

Answer 1

Your trailer has axles rated for 3,500 lbs. The inner bearing for that trailer is an L68149 and the outer is L44649. Bearing kit #BK2-100 has the correct bearings and races but you would need a different seal, #168233, available separately.

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…

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

Yes, the Timken Bearing Kit #TMK52VR will fit your 3,500 lb axle as it fits an standard #84 spindle. The only time this kit won't fit with a 3,500 lb axle is if the trailer/axle is made before the 2000's since that's about the time that…

Hey Richard, thanks for reaching out! The Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator #099-175-00 is a great option for a replacement actuator because it's a direct replacement for the common Model 60 actuators that were popular in the '90s.…
