In order to find the correct replacement parts for your 2000 Eagle boat trailer you will need to identify your axle. We have no way of looking up specific parts for your trailer. A good place to start would be with the axle tag. This should have the capacity or a serial number which can be used by the axle manufacturer to find the capacity.

If the tag is missing or worn you can pull off the hubs and use the bearings to identify what you need. Check and see if the part numbers are stamped into the bearings. If not, you can use a digital caliper like the # PTW80157 to measure the inner diameter. Check out the diagram below.

If I had to guess it is probably a 3,500 lb axle. If that is the case you can use # AKEBRK-35-SA for electric brakes and # AKFBBRK-35 for hydraulic. For a hub and drum assembly that uses the standard # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearing we have the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. For a spindle you could use the # TRU77FR which you will need to take to an axle shop to have welded on.

If you have a different axle capacity please let me know and I can help you find the right parts for your trailer. I have attached an article listing common bearing combinations by capacity for your reference as well.

Thank you for providing that information. Since you have a 6,000 lb axle we can narrow down the parts. However, you will still need to identify your grease seal. Unfortunately, the serial number won't help in this case since Axis Products, Inc.…

I can help you determine the correct size for replacement brakes but we don't have a database of parts for specific trailers. With bearings #L68149 and #L44649 this narrows it down a lot. If do indeed have a 3,500 pound then you'll need 10…

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…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 10

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
