Yes, you can use hub # AKIHUB-440-2-1K with BT8 spindle # TRU97FR. These two parts are compatible. Spindles get welded onto the ends of an axle. This is a precision job because it has to be perfectly straight and concentric or the trailer will ride poorly and you will have faster tire wear and faster wear on the suspension. I strongly recommend having a qualified professional with experiencing working on trailers install the spindles.

The other option is to get a whole new axle with the hubs and spindles already on it. We do not ship axles so if you wanted to go this route you would need to find a local trailer or tractor supply store to order one.
