It sounds like you have inner and outer bearings # L68149 and # L44649 respectively. That's a very popular combination on a # 84 spindle but the seals are normally 1.719 inches inner diameter. I would verify that number.

If this is correct there's a still a number of options that could be your correct hubs depending on whether you have drums, what bolt pattern they are, and whether you have EZ Lube spindles or not. I'll list all the optoins for you.

5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern:

Standard spindle idler hub part # AKIHUB-545-35-K
E-Z Lube spindle idler hub part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K

Standard spindle hub and drum part # AKHD-545-35-K
E-Z Lube spindle hub and drum part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K

6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern:

Standard spindle idler hub part # AKIHUB-655-35-K
E-Z Lube spindle idler hub part # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K

Standard spindle hub and drum part # AKHD-655-35-K
E-Z Lube spindle hub and drum part # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K

These aren't the only bolt pattern options but they're the most common by far. If yours is different or something else doesn't add up let me know. Also, if you aren't sure of your bolt pattern I've added an article to help you determine what you have.

Answer 1

Sup Jesse - cool name! The #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K hub is going to use the 1.98" bearding buddies. For that we have #BB1980A for chrome or #BB1980A-SS for stainless Steel, which is what I recommend.

Answer 2

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.

EZ Lube axles like the item #T3584F-EZ-8974 come from the factory with just a little bit of grease in the bearings. The first time you use the EZ Lube feature to fill the axle, it will take a lot of grease. You will probably use 3/4 to a full tube…

Answer 8

Your trailer likely uses bearings #L68149 and #L44649 but you should check them to be sure. If this is the case I recommend hub and drums #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have E-Z Lube axles with the zerk fitting on the spindle. If you don't have E-Z…

Answer 10

As long as the seal in the bearing kit part #BK1-150 is flush with the hub it is okay to have a small gap between the seal and inner bearing. When installing the seal you only insert it enough so that it is flush with the hub. The seal's job is…

A true 1 inch spindle is a BT8 spindle, like #TRU94FR. The next closest one would be the BTR spindle which is commonly referred to as a 1-1/16 inch spindle, like #TRU44FR and is more common than the BT8. Both of these are typically used with 2,000 lb…
