• How to Measure a Trailer Hub or Dust Cap to Find the Right Replacement Dust Cap
  You can measure either the outer diameter of the part of the dust cap that fits into the hub OR the inner diameter of the hub where the dust cap goes using calipers such as # PTW80157. Calipers are needed because the measurement has to be as accurate as possible. I also might be able to figure it out based on the outer bearing number which you should be able to see without taking the hub off.

• 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 Measure a Trailer Hub for the Correct Size Grease Cap for a 1993 Coleman Pop-up Camper
  You would need to measure the inside diameter of the hub opening to determine which cap size is needed. You would want to choose a cap whose outside diameter matches the inside diameter of the hub. Some of the most common sizes are 1.980 inch, 1.986 inch, 2.441 inch and 2.717 inch. As you can see the sizes can differ by very small amounts. To measure accurately to two or three decimal places, I'd recommend using a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 so that you can be confident you are...

• How to Tell if I Have an EZ Grease Hub or a Standard Hub
  Thanks for your question, Gordon! Instead of explaining the difference between the two, I included two pictures below. The first one is the EZ grease cap and the second one is the standard grease cap. The EZ grease cap will have a rubber plug that you can remove to be able to get to the zerk fitting that you have on your spindle. Since you have a 3.5k axle, you would want to use EZ grease caps part # RG04-040. The standard caps for the 3.5k are part # RG04-020. You don't have to use...

• 2.24" Grease Cap Replacement
  I have a solution for you but we do not have any standard grease caps with a 2.24" diameter like the # RG04-020 . I recommend going with the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2240 which will not only protect your bearings but provide an easy, safe way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub. These are especially helpful on boat trailers, since they seal out all water, dirt and debris and allow for complete submersion. I've attached a brief video review of the Bearing...

• Is there a Bearing Kit for L44643 Bearings that Includes Races, Pin, Dust Cap, and Seal 203025
  The bearings we have, # L44643, and the associated race is # L44610. The cotter pin is # 165649. The dust cap associated with hubs that take these bearings is # RG04-020 for a pair. The seal on the other hand is an odd size. There isn't a bearing kit that has the seal that you need and it is an odd size that we do not carry. But it is readily available at auto parts stores. I know that a kit would make things a lot easier but in this situation there isn't a kit that has the seal and dust...

• Replacement Disc Brake Kit For Tie Down Engineering 46845 Disc Brake Hub
  I can recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DKG to give you a new disc brake setup. Your Tie Down Hub 46845 is only a 9.6" diameter rotor and the 10" is the current size available. Your hub uses a Inner Bearing # L68149, Outer Bearing # L44649 and Grease Seal # 168255TB.

• Replacement Dexter 8-248 Hub, Races, Bearings and Grease Seals For Boat Trailer
  The Dexter 8-248 is a 3500 lb idler hub which uses the L44649 outer/L68149 inner bearing and a 10-19 grease seal. The bearings cross reference to the A4 and A17 bearings you mentioned and the 10-19 seal cross references to the 171255 seal. For bearings/races/seals, you'd need the # BK2-100 kit. For a replacement galvanized hub (which is what you'd want to use on a boat trailer), use # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. The races are pre-installed, which is a good thing because installing the races...

• How To Find the Correct Dust/Grease Cap for a Trailer Axle
  In order to find the correct grease cap for a trailer you will need to either measure the inner diameter of the hub bore on your trailer hub or the outer diameter of your grease cap but these are the only two ways. The measurements will need to be taken with a digital caliper which it sounds like you already have one. If you can provide me with either of the above two measurements then I would be glad to see if we have an option for you or you can browse our selection I have attached below. I...

• Replacement Disc Brake Kit and Hubs For 2004 DHM 2 Axle Boat Trailer
  Based on the corrosion I see on the parts I recommend the Stainless Steel Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35S for your trailer.

Each hub will need an Inner Bearing # L68149, and Outer Bearing # L44649. You will need to measure the spindle to determine the correct grease seal. Seal # 58846 (inner diameter 1.719),...

• Disc Trailer Brake Kit Recommendation for a 1997 EZ Loader Boat Trailer

• Standard Grease Cap to Replace EZ Lube Cap on 3,500 Trailer Hubs
  I don't care for Bearing Buddies honestly as they make it too easy to overfill the hub and cause the grease seal to blow out. A standard grease cap would be your best option. For that you'd just need the part # RG04-020 for your 3,500 EZ lube spindles.

• Looking For 4 on 4 Hubs For Older Trailer With Short Spindles
  Hello Rob, thanks for reaching out. We do offer some 4 on 4 hubs that will fit a 1" spindle, but we do not have anything for a short spindle like you described. A lot of older trailers used shorter spindles, and this design is not obsolete. The only solution for this will be to replace the spindles with the BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # TRU94FR. This is a 1" straight spindle and it is the standard length. You can use that with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K...

• Standard Grease/Dust Caps Won't Fit Hubs on Trailstar Boat Trailer
  It sounds like your trailer has the stubby spindles on it that are usually associated with boat trailers. It is possible that you will need a special dust cap to fit it if there isn't enough space for a standard one (the trailer manufacturer should be able to direct you to the best option). But there is another possible solution. If you can tell me the diameter of the wheel center pilot hole I can see if center cap is available. There are Bearing Buddies, # BB2047 or # BB2047SS that are...

• Purpose of Grease Caps and How to Measure to Get Correct Size
  The purpose of the grease cap is to protect the bearing and the axle from any dirt getting into the bearing, which would then damage the bearing, hub and axle. So it is a good idea to have caps on your axle. To get the correct size cap you would need to measure the inside diameter of the cap mounting surface on your hub. Then that measurement would match up to the cap size outside diameter. The sizes of caps only vary by a small amount so the measurement has to very accurate. Some of the...
