etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums - Hub - AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K Review Video

I am not sure what you mean by "short hub" but I went out to the warehouse and found that the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly #AKIHUB-440-2-2K you referenced has a total depth of 4-1/4" as you can see in the attached picture.

I wasn't quite sure the exact measurement you were referring to in regards to "diameter of the rim alignment ledge" for the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles #AKIHUB-440-2-2K so I took a number of measurements of this hub.…

Idler hub #AKIHUB-440-2-2K does indeed fit on a spindle that takes L44649 bearings as both the inner and outer. The hub includes the races (already pressed in) the bearings, a seal, grease cap, and lug nuts. I have linked a video review of this hub…

The importance of matching a wheel's pilot hole diameter to the part of the hub that fits through it depends on the type of wheel. A hub-centric wheel uses the pilot hole to center the wheel on the hub and also to bear some of the total weight…

I have a solution for you. You would actually want the part #AKIHUB-440-2-2K as it has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern like you need and the bearings that come with the hub are designed to fit a hub with 1-1/16 inner diameter bearings.

The pilot diameter on a wheel, like the one with part #AM30620, is the diameter of the bigger hole that is directly in the middle of the wheel. The pilot hole diameter of the wheel for the part I just measured is 2.84". I have attached a picture…

The wheel pilot hole will only matter if A) the wheel centers on the hub and uses wheel bolts, nut lug nuts, to secure to the hub or B) if the hole is too small on a hub that uses lug nuts. If your wheels secure to the hub using lug nuts then the…

We do have one axle with hubs that is extremely close to the dimensions you have requested. It is the CE Smith Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs item #CE33201GA-HUB. It measures 57-1/2" long, has a 46-1/2" spring center, and an 1,800 lbs capacity.…

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 torque specifications for the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel part #AM30670 will be between 75-85 ft. lbs. If you need a torque wrench, we have plenty to choose from such as the 1/2" Drive Torque Wrench part…

The psi of your trailer tires will be listed on the side wall. It will list the max psi which is what you will want to fill them to regardless of how much weight you have. For reference, the 4.80 x 12 tires we carry have a 60 psi max for load range B…

You will need to measure the diameter of the spindles where the seal and bearings ride. Check out the picture I attached that shows where this is. You will need an exact measurement so either a digital or dial caliper will be needed. To pick out the…
