Dexter Axle Trailer Hubs and Drums - Hub - 8-258-50BTUC1 Review Video

Even though I cannot comment specifically on the grease you used because I am not familiar with it, I can tell you the best grease for trailer bearings is a a grease with a rating of GC-LB, which just means it is made to withstand very high…

The bearing part #L44649 has an inner diameter of 1.063 and is typically used in 3,500 lb axle hubs and the #L44643 has an inner diameter of 1 inch and is typically used on 2,000 lb axle hubs. If you can get me more info on your trailer like axle…

It's not uncommon to see trailer hub seals end up being different widths or thicknesses. Installing the slightly wider one that came with the bearing kit you have won't be an issue at all.

For your Dexter axle you will use either the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly #AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K (for bearing size L44649) or the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly #AKIHUB-545-2-LF-1K (for bearing size L44643). You would just want to pull off your current hub…

There isn't enough surface area on hub #AKIHUB-545-2-1K to safely mount and use a 13 inch wheel. The hub would have to be larger to properly support a 13 inch wheel. For a hub that uses the same bearings, can take a 13 inch wheel, and also has a…

Luckily, FLOE International is still around. I was able to find that your 10 foot tilt single axle snowmobile trailer used an L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing. Your snowmobile trailer was equipped from the factory with idler hubs that had a 5 on…

Yes, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles part #AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K is a direct fit for the BTR EZ Lube Spindle part #TRU44FR. For future references, in order to ensure an exact fit, you will need to find the part number on the…

If both the inner and outer bearing are #L44643 bearings, that means it can fit on a BT8 spindle. One BT8 spindle, like #TRU94FR, has a capacity of 1,000 pounds. So on a single axle with 2 spindles, it would have a 2,000 pound capacity. The axle…

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

The #L44643 bearing is an exact replacement for the L44643R bearing on your trailer. The R does not mean anything other than it is there to let you know it is a Koyo brand bearing. Since you are needing replacement bearings and seals you may be able…

Overpacking the trailer hub with grease is the number one reason for grease seal failure. For a boat trailer I would recommend re-packing the hubs by hand with grease once per season and you'd be fine. I don't like recommending people use…

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…
