• 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...

• Recommended Timken Bearing Kit for a 3,500 lbs Axle w/a #84 Spindle
  Thanks for the information Ryan. The Timken Bearing Kit item # TMK52VR is the correct one for your boat trailer. It includes inner and outer bearings and races, seal, cotter pin, and EZ lube spindle washer. This kit is sold per hub. For a grease cap with a 1.98" Outer Diameter on a boat trailer, I recommend the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors item # BB1980A-SS, which are made in the USA. These are capable of being completely submerged and will keep water and dirt out of your hubs and...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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. This will use a 10" rotor and all the components are going to be stainless steel for corrosion resistance on one axle. You will need to pair this kit with 2 Hubs # KH84545S for each axle. 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),...

• 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...

• What Size Grease Seal And Dust Cap is Needed on a 3,500 Lbs. Axle With L44649 Outer Bearing
  The size seal you will need will depend on the part number of your inner 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...

• Are Trailer Axle Grease Caps Waterproof
  A grease cap like # RG04-020 is primarily intended to keep grease inside your hub bore and keep contaminants like dirt out. They are not totally water-proof by any means but they certainly do provide a degree of water-resistance. Mostly what keeps water out of your hubs is the full level of grease inside them. That is why folks like EZ-Lube spindles since they make it so much easier to ensure your hubs' grease level is always full.

• 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...

• Bearing, Seals, And Caps For A 2008 Bear Boat Trailer
  Hi William, It looks like we have everything except for the grease seal. Could you measure the spindle for the inner diameter and hub bore hole for the outer diameter one more time to confirm? The Hub Bearing Kit # BK2-100 has the correct bearings and tang washer but uses a 10-19 grease seal # 58846 (ID: 1.719" - OD: 2.565"). For the grease caps you can use part # RG04-040 for easy lube spindles or # RG04-020 for standard spindles.

• How To Remove and Install Grease Caps and Bearing Protectors on Trailer Hubs
  Grease caps just pop out and in. The best way to get them out is to pry them with a flat head screw driver or tap them from side to side with a hammer. To install new ones, you simply gently hammer them in. Normally I use a short piece of 2x4, to help tap the grease cap or bearing protector into the end of the hub. I have added links to a couple of videos that demonstrate removing the grease caps.

• 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...
