• Recommended Idler Hub Assembly for 1-1/16 Inch Diameter Spindle With Seal 1-1/4 Inches at Spindle
  For idler hubs, you will want the Trailer Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKIHUB-545-2-1K or the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern # AKIHUB-440-2-1K. This is a standard BT8 spindle. I've attached an installation video to assist as well as an article on bolt pattern.

• Replacement Hub for 1989 Ranger Trailer
  Judging by your photo, your trailer would use an idler hub, not a hub drum. Assuming you have 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt circle wheels that use an # L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing, you have a few choices. Rather than the painted hub, I'd recommend going with a galvanized hub for greater corrosion resistance. Dexter hubs are manufactured in the US, which is what I'd recommend. For an 8, 10 or a 12 inch wheel, use # 8-259-50UC1 for a standard spindle or # 8-259-50UC1-EZ for the EZ Lube...

• Replacement Hub that Has Bearings L44649 and Bolt Pattern 5 on 4-1/2 inch
  The trailer hub part # 8-258-5UC1 that you referenced is an exact fit for the spindle you have on your trailer based on the bearing numbers you listed and the wheel bolt pattern. To jump up to a 3,500 lb axle would require more info from you. I'd need spring seat center to spring seat center plus hub face to hub face off your old axles. You have slipper springs which we can help with that as well. How long are the springs you have now?

• Replacement Axle for Trailer with 46-1/2 Inch Spring Center
  Unfortunately, we do not have any trailer hubs with the bearings that you need. Would you be open to replacing the entire axle? This would be the only option we have for you. If so then I would need you to measure the distance between each hub face and the spring center. I would also need to know the capacity and if it is a leaf spring or torsion system.

• How to Determine the Size of a Trailer Hub Assembly for Replacement
  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 L44643, you will need # 8-258BTUC1. If you do not have the old bearings, you need to measure the inner bearing surface on the spindle to determine if the 1.063 inch dimension or 1.00 inch dimension will be needed to accept the bearing. You...

• Replacement Trailer Hub for 55-Year-Old Trailer
  You have an interesting combination of bearings on your trailer hub. We carry the # LM67048 bearing, but the other bearing we don't so it is unlikely that we will have a hub for your 55-year-old trailer. However, you can double check by measuring the spindle then using dial calipers since the measurements have to be as accurate as possible. Please refer to the picture I have included that shows where to measure the spindle. With those measurements we can try to determine the correct hub...

• Replacement Trailer Hub Assembly with 1-1/4 Inch Inner Bearing and 1-1/8 Inch Outer Bearing
  The closest hub assembly we have available to the specs that you mentions is with a 3,500 pound hub like the etrailer.com # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K. This hub does have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. It uses # L68149 for the inner bearing (1.378 inch inner diameter) and # L44649 for the outer bearing (1.063 inch inner diameter). Since the measurements need to be exact, I recommend verifying the measurements you took on your bearings with a digital caliper to see if this will work. You can also...

• Measurement Of Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-258-5UC1
  The Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-258-5UC1 measures 4-1/4 inches from front to back. As long as you have the length on your spindle, you won't have any issue. That measurement is not including the grease cap, it is just the hub from edge to edge. There is 2 inches on either side of the hub face which is 1/4 inch thick.

• Which Hubs Can Be Used to Replace the Hubs on a UFP H-1062-3
  The UFP hub that you've referenced isn't made any longer I don't believe, but we do have some options for you. From some previous customers, we've determined that the UFP H-1062-3 axle has a spindle that has # L44649 inner and outer bearings, and a grease seal that has a 1.979" OD and a 1.372" ID, like part # BB60005.

• Trailer Hub Recommend for Utility Trailer with 5 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern L44649/L68149 Bearings
  The spindles of an EZ lube axle are the exact same as a non-EZ-lube. Only difference being the zerk fitting at the end of it. The EZ lube hubs we offer are the same as the non-EZ-lube hubs with the only difference being the grease cap has a rubber plug that fits the cap. For a replacement hub to replace yours with a 5 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and matches your bearings of L44649/L68149 you would wan the part # AKHD-555-35-K for a non-EZ lube or part # AKHD-555-35-EZ-K for EZ-lube style.

• Which Hub fits an Outer Bearing L44649 and Outer Race L44610
  Trailer hubs have two bearings, one is referred to as the inner bearing, closer to the trailer. The outer bearing is the one furthest from the trailer. If we have both of these bearing numbers we can identify which spindle or hub is needed. So far you have L44649 as your outer bearing and L44610 as your outer race. We carry 8 hubs that use outer bearing L44649. Your inner bearing should either be another L44649 or an L68149. Once you provide us with the second bearing number, I can provide...

• Solution for Needing Replacement Hub with Bearings 12649 48548
  Although we do have the # LM48548 bearing, the M12649 bearing and 20515 seal are not something that we carry. If you only need the bearings and seal it looks like they're still available just not here at etrailer. If you need to replace the hub then your only option will be to replace the axle since that bearing combination is no longer used. For a replacement axle you will need the capacity and the length of the axle. The length is the hub face to hub face measurement. I have attached...

• Which Hub to Use for 2,200 lb Dexter Axle 8-258 or 8-259
  Thanks for the pictures. Either part number hub is going to fit your hub since they both have the same bolt pattern and bearings. The difference is going to be based on the diameter of your trailer wheels. If you have 13-14 inch diameter rims you would want the part # 8-258-5UC1. If you have smaller wheels that are 10-12 inch you would want the # 8-259-5UC1-EZ. The difference is the size of the wheel mounting flange.
