• Trailer Idler Hub for 2,000 Pound Axle and 13 Inch Tires
  
• There isn't enough surface area on hub # AKIHUB-545-2-1K to safely mount and use a 13 inch wheel. The hub would have to be larger to properly support a 13 inch wheel. For a hub that uses the same bearings, can take a 13 inch wheel, and also has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we have # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K for EZ Lube axles or # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-1K for regular axles.

• Replacement Hubs For Trailer With 3/4 Inch Outer Diameter Spindle That Is Straight
  
• The only hub we have that is currently available for a 3/4 inch spindle is Item # AH15450ECOMP. This is an agricultural hub that fits 3,000 lbs axles for 4 on 5 inch bolt pattern. It takes an inner bearing, Item # LM67048, and outer bearing, Item # LM11949. It is meant to be used for low speed (less than 20 mph) agricultural applications. It is designed for a spindle like Item # AS1500E. If you can find the actual bearing number on your old bearings and seal or can send me a bearing...

• Replace Hub Assemblies With Bearing Buddies For A 2,000 Lb. Trailer Axle
  
• Our 2,000 lb. trailer axles use both 1" and 1.06" diameter spindles. In order to determine you are receiving the correct hub assembly, you will want to use a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 to ensure you have an exact measurement. If the spindle on your trailer measures out to be 1" in diameter, then you have a 2,000 lb. axle that uses the L44643 bearing. For a 5 on 4-1/2" hub assembly designed to be used with a 2,000 lb. axle and L44643 bearings, I recommend using the Trailer...

• Are the Redline Spindle # R104BT8 and etrailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-2K Compatible
  
• The Redline Spindle # R104BT8 and our Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-2K are not compatible, but you could use the Redline EZ Lube Spindle # R104BTREZ instead as it has the correct spindle measurements.

To determine if a hub is compatible with a specific spindle you will need to make sure that the inner diameters of the Inner Bearing, Outer Bearing, and Grease Seal of the hub...

• Can I Upgrade From 8 Inch to 15 Inch Wheels On a Boat Trailer
  
• It is possible to switch from 8" wheels to 15" wheels yes but, in addition to fender clearance issues you will also run into not having enough surface area on the hub for the larger wheel size. For example, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K which is common on 2,000 lb axles and what I suspect you have only has enough surface area to work with 12" wheels max. Therefore, in order to upgrade to 15" wheels you will also likely need to upgrade hubs as well as fenders. In...

• Locating Replacement Hubs that Use Same Inner and Outer Bearing
  
• In order to locate the correct replacement hub assembly for your trailer, you will want to determine what bearing numbers are used on your existing hubs. These numbers should be stamped right inside the bearings themselves. If you cannot locate these numbers, you can also take a few measurements along the spindle using the attached image as a template. You did mention that the inner and outer bearings on your trailer are the same size, but you will still want to determine their specific...

• Replacement Hubs that Can Fit 2,000 lb Axle with 5 Lug Bolt Pattern
  
• The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K that you referenced is designed to fit the industry standard 2,000 lb capacity trailer axles with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like you have so most likely this will fit but you still should probably check. Take the hub off of your current axle and measure the diameter of the spindle where the bearings ride. If this dimension is 1 inch then this is the correct fit. If for some reason you get a different dimension let me know and...

• How to Determine if Trailer Can Switch to 5-Lug Hubs
  
• To do this you would need to switch your hubs from the current ones that have a 4-bolt pattern to ones with a 5-bolt pattern. This may be possible but you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings the current hub has. You will need to take apart the current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper...

• Replacement Hub and Easy Lubrication Kit for 2,000 lb Axle
  
• Unfortunately there are no oil bath hubs available for your specific application. The only ones that are made fit larger hubs. If you would like a solution that is easier than standard grease application (packing your bearings) then I recommend going with some Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors. These are perfect for solutions where EZ Lube spindles aren't in place as they provide a grease zerk fitting as well as a way to see when you have pumped enough grease into your hub space (see...

• Will Bearing Buddy Grease Caps Fit a Harbor Freight Trailer 62671 Folding Trailer?
  
• We don't have a kit for Harbor Freight trailers and their parts are very rarely compatible with standard trailer parts like we carry. We have however found there are times when the bearing buddies # BB2047 specifically has fit. We haven't confirmed a fit on that model yet, so you will need to measure the hub bore of the hubs on your trailer. If the hub bore is 2.047 then these will work for you. For a hub and bearings, you would need to pull the hub and look at the bearing numbers....

• How to Determine Correct Replacement Bearings for Older Calkins Boat Trailer

• Recommended Trailer Hub Assemblies to Replace Wheels with Integrated Hubs
  
• Thanks for the picture. It looks like you have a spindle welded onto a frame and you just need the hub assembly. If this is like most small snowmobile trailers, then you most likely have a 1 inch straight spindle. If this is the case, I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 8" to 12" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. This would allow you to use standard wheels like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2...
