To determine the correct replacement bearings for your Haulmark Elite II cargo trailer you're going to have to pull the hubs and either look for part numbers printed on the bearings/seals or measure the spindle where the bearings and seals ride and then choose replacements based off of that.

According to my research your trailer is rated to have 2 axles rated for 5,000 lbs each which is in-between the standard axle ratings. The closest kits we would have are for a 5,200 lb axle but you'll want to verify the bearing numbers and grease seal dimensions so make sure the kit will work:

- Kit # BK3-310 (LM67048 and 25580 bearings with 2.125" ID and 3.376" OD seal)
- Kit # BK3-300 (LM67048 and 25580 bearings with 2.250" ID and 3.376" OD seal)

If what you find doesn't match up with this then let me know what you find and I'll be happy to help you find what you're needing!

Answer 5

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…
