Recommended Replacement For A DICO 45263 Idler Hub
Question:
I have a shot lander boat trailer with an existing DICO 45263 hub. I’ve read on here that the best replacement would be a hub with part AKIHUB-545-2-EZ. I would like to get those but on review of those hubs it states they are for 10”-12” wheels. I have 13” wheels. What should I buy? Thank you Greg S

Hey Greg,
The # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K uses bearing # L44649 for both the inner and outer bearings and # 10-9 for the grease seal so you could just swap to the # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K instead since it fits 13" - 15" wheels. That being said, I've seen different reports on what grease seal is used on a DICO 45263 Hub so I'd double check point B from the diagram below with a caliper # PTW80157 to see if it measures 1.50" to confirm fitment.
