In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
Hey Greg, yes the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 04 Star Mag Trailer Wheel #AM20258 that you referenced would work with a Load Range E tire ST175/80R13 like you mentioned.
Technically, yes Steve, the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly for Lippert ABS Hubs - 12" 5.2K - 7K #LC83PX will physically fit the same 4-bolt mounting flange and 12inch drums. But here’s the catch: if your hubs don’t have the ABS ring, then the…
The BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643 bearing. In…
The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

Hi Jeff; I'm assuming you were able to identify the parts based on the axle tag or by pulling off the hubs and measuring. Did you verify that the grease seal had a 2.25" inner diameter? The #AKIHUB-655-6-EZ-K comes with a 2.25" ID…
To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…
There typically aren't any part numbers stamped onto the trailer spindle that can be used for identification. There are however numbers stamped onto the hub most times which can be used for identification. The TDE46210 tells me you have a 3,500…
