Updating An Obsolete Trailer Axle to Work With 5 on 4-1/2" Idler Hubs
Question:
I am looking for 2 hubs with a 5 on 4.5 lug pattern. The inner bearing is 1.375” and the outer bearing is 0.75”. I am not able to locate this hub on your website. Thanks !

I have a couple recommendations as based on your bearings it sounds like your spindle is obsolete. You may be able to replace your spindles with an #84 E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU74FR that is common on 3,500lb axles. That would allow you to install the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you are needing.
The next option is a replacement Axle # e52GR. This particular axle has a hub face to hub face measurement of 95" and the leaf spring centers are spread 80". The axle comes with the 5 on 4-1/2" idler hubs you will need. If your axle has a different length or spring center let me know the dimensions and I will see what we have.
