Replacement Hub Assembly for 1987 Calkin Boat Trailer

Question:

For a 1987 Calkin boat trailer. Need 2 whole hub assemblies for 4 lug 4. The spindle is 1.06 but the seal OD is 1.25 NOT 1.5. Neither BT8 or BT9 fits because of the mismatch between the spindle 1.06 which would be BT9 and the seal 1.25 which would be BT8. Is there a part that can allow me to fit this situation maybe a grease seal set that fits over 1.06 axle and seats against the 1.25 seal?

It sounds like you currently have # L44649 bearings with an inner diameter of 1.063" and a grease seal like the # 34823 with an inner diameter of 1.249". For a hub that matches these, along with the 4 on 4 bolt pattern, we have the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 2,700-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Pre-Greased # CE13109.

This hub has a weight capacity of 1,350 lbs (for 2,700 lb axles) and fits wheels up to 12" in diameter. It is pre-greased with heavy-duty marine-grade lubricant so it is ideal for your 1987 Calkin boat trailer.
