We will have all the replacement bearing parts you will need as we do not have a bearing kit with all the parts you need. First we have the Bearing # L68149 and its corresponding Race # L68111. It is likely that your spindle will use the Grease Seal # 58846 but you should verify your measurements (ID 1.719" / OD 2.565") with your current seal. We also have the Tang Washer # 5-101 for a 1" diameter spindle nut.

The Seal Puller # PTW1219 and 7-Piece Installation Set # PTW83020 will aid in the removal and installation of the components on your hubs.

Answer 8

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 9

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…
