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…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
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…
Trailer wheel bearings are specific to the spindle that is installed on the axle that is on your trailer. You will need to safely support the trailer, remove the wheel and tire, remove the grease cap, remove the cotter pin and washer that secures the…
Hi Jeff, welcome back! Is that the 126003? I don't see a 1260031 but the Lippert 126003 is a 3,500 lb hub with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. Assuming that is correct, the Terran Axle Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #TX68VJ will work as a replacement.…

Some users note that cheaper hubs may come with lower-quality bearing races. It's worth investing in hubs with high-quality components to avoid issues like grease seal failures or improper fits, ensuring a smooth and safe towing experience.
Installation is straightforward, often taking less than an hour. With pre-installed bearing races, adding bearings and seals is a breeze. Many find the process quick and hassle-free, allowing you to get back on the road swiftly.
Built-in grease fittings make maintenance a breeze, allowing you to easily add grease to the rear bearing. This feature helps prolong the life of your bearings and ensures smooth operation, especially important for frequent or long-distance towing.
Ensure the hub flange diameter matches your wheel's requirements. Some 15-inch wheels need a 6.5-inch flange, so measure carefully. Also, consider the quality of bearing races and seals included with the hub for long-lasting performance.
1/2 inch studs provide a secure fit for many trailer wheels, ensuring stability and safety on the road. They are a popular choice for their compatibility with a wide range of trailers, making them a versatile option for both new installations and replacements.
