• Replacement Hub Components for Hub 9606020
  While the # L68149 most likely corresponds to the inner bearing number of your hubs. If this is the case, you have either a 3.5k or a 4.4k axle. In order to know absolutely sure, you need to know the corresponding outer bearing number or the inner and outer diameter of the grease seal. You most likely need to wipe away the grease in order to reveal the outer bearing number. In order to accomplish this, I recommend using calipers like the 4" Carbon Fiber Digital Caliper # PTW80157. I...

• How to Determine Hub and Spindle Size
  The spindle dimensions are as follows: A is the mounting dimension, B is the seal dimension, C is the inner bearing surface, D is the outer bearing surface and E is the diameter of the threaded portion of the spindle for spindle nut selection. Say you need a spindle and hub for a wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and an axle that is 3500 lbs. For a single axle trailer you can use two of either the item # TRU64FR, if your axle is round or item # TRU47FR if your axle is square. Then...

• What Spindle do I Need to go With the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 3.5K Axles?
  Hello Jason, Since you need the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized - Pre-Greased # CE13515 you will want the #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 1-3/4" Diameter # TRU64FR.

• Recommended Replacement Spindles for a Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly W/ a 6 on 6 Bolt Pattern
  Hey Steve, the #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # TRU64FR is not going to work with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles # 42660UC1. You'd actually want to use either the #42 Spindle for 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Trailer Axles # TRU57FR or the #42 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Flange for 5.2K to 7K Trailer Axles # TRU37FR for an E-Z lube spindle. What kind of trailer are you hauling? If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know.

• What Size of Spindle is Needed for a 3,500-Lb Axle
  I have three spindles that are for a 3,500-lb axle and have the bearing dimensions you have listed. The only difference is the dimension for the grease seal is 1.75 inches, not the 1.795 inches that you have mentioned. Maybe you typed in the seal diameter wrong. The hub number you have mentioned is just a casting number, not a part number. The three spindles I have for a 3,500-lb axle are as follows. #84 Spindle - 1-3/4" Diameter (8-1/4" OAL) # TRU64FR #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange...

• Replacement Spindle For Jet Ski Trailer With 2,700 lb Capacity
  Appreciate all that information, but unfortunately we do not have a 2,700 lb spindle, or one with those bearings and seal. The best I can offer is to go up to a 3,500 lb spindle, and you'd also need new hubs. What you can use is the following: - #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 1-3/4" Diameter # TRU64FR - Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K I realize this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but I did want to mention...

• What Size Spindle do Bearings L68149 and L44649 fit on
  Yes, you are going to want a spindle that has the 1.063" and 1.378" measurements. This is commonly known as a #84 spindle and can be found on our site with a few variances. For example, the TruRyde EZ Lube Spindle # TRU74FR comes with a brake mounting flange and a grease zerk fitting while the Redline Spindle # TRU64FR does not come with the flange or a zerk fitting. These fit the typical round applications but we also have one for a square application with part # TRU47FR. Any of these...

• Replacement Hub And Spindle For TieDown 3,500-lb Axles

• Troubleshooting Hub and Spindle Not Fitting Together after Replacing Spindle on a Utility Trailer
  It sounds and looks to me like you have the wrong hub assembly for the spindle that is welded to the axle on your trailer. The photos you sent clearly show a 1-1/16 inch spindle similar to the BTR EZ Lube Spindle item # TRU44FR. This is a spindle for a 2,000 pound axle. The parts that you referenced are for a 3,500 pound axle and definitely will not work on a spindle designed for a 2,000 pound axle. In addition, the photo of the hub that you sent looks like a hub for a 3,500 pound axle,...

• Do You Have a Replacement Wheel Hub For a Discontinued Harbor Freight Boat Trailer?
  Unfortunately Tim, I have no way to know for sure what size spindle you have on your discontinued Harbor Freight boat trailer. If you can provide me with the measurements off your spindle as seen in the image below I can see if we have a hub which will fit but as is most common with Harbor Freight trailers I have seen you are most likely going to need 2 new Spindles # TRU64FR and Hubs # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K.

• Spindle Recommendation for a Hub that Has Bearing Dimensions 1.06 and 1.38
  The spindle we offer that has the closest dimensions to what you listed will be an 84 spindle like part # TRU64FR. The surface of the spindle where the bearings will ride is 1.06 inch and 1.38 inch which is pretty close to what you have but not exact so you would want to double check the measurements you took. For a hub then with the bolt pattern 5 on 4-1/2 inch like you said you need you would want the part # 84545BX.

• Replacement Hubs for Hadco Eng 440 Hubs
  Thanks for the picture and the information Jonathan! I am sorry like you I can not find anything that has an outside bearing that measures .85.

• Replacement Idler Hub Options For a 30 Year Old Homemade Trailer With 68149 & 12749 KOYO Bearings?
  I have a couple recommendations for you as your current spindle size is obsolete. First you can have 2 new Spindles # TRU64FR welded on your axle to use the current Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K. The simplest option may be to use the CE Smith Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs # CE33201GA-HUB. This gives you an all new axle and hubs so you do not have to worry about welding the spindles on straight or the axle tube bending due to the age of the steel.

• What Information is Needed to Add Brakes to a Trailer
  To add brakes to the front axle on your trailer I would need to know the weight capacity of your axle (which can be found stamped on the axle if you don't know it off-hand), as well as the part numbers of your Inner and Outer Bearings and you Grease Seal on your idler hub. The bolt pattern of your hub and size of your tire/wheel would be helpful as well. If you cannot find the part numbers on your bearings or seal then you can measure the B, C, and D locations on your spindle (see attached...

• Looking for 5 on 4-3/4 Inch Bolt Pattern Idler Hub Compatible with L44649 Inner and Outer Bearings
  The L44649 bearing is compatible with a 1.062 inch (1-1/16 inch) spindle which is used on 2000, 2200, 2500 and 2700 lb axles. A 5 on 4-3/4 inch bolt pattern hub is found on hubs compatible with a 3500 lb axle, and uses different bearings (L68149 inner and L44649 outer), so we unfortunately don't offer a hub with that bolt pattern that's compatible with your current spindles. This leaves you with a few options. You could replace your existing axle with one that's compatible with the bearing...
