• Replacement Hub and Spindle for Dexter 69-46 Axle
  The Dexter 69-46 axle has a straight spindle with # L44649 bearings. For a replacement spindle you can use the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # TRU44FR. Then for an idler hub, the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K would be a great replacement. If you're looking for a hub and drum assembly then the # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K is what you need instead.

• Parts Needed To Add Electric Drum Brakes To 1994 Jayco Pop-Up
  Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. We do have the 7" electric brakes and drums. Electric brakes are typically less expensive and easier to service than disc brakes. Both could work but for a pop-up camper electric drum brakes would do fine and be relatively easy to set up. As I said we do have the 7" brakes and drums but there are a few different spindle sizes so I will need you to confirm either your spindle diameter or bearing numbers. Also confirm the hub bolt pattern you want. The...

• Can Brakes be Used with 2k Timbren Axle Less Kit
  Hey Devin, there is a way to use the Timbren Axle Less kit you mentioned and have brakes but you would want the kit part # ASR2000S01 that doesn't come with hubs so that you could use the hub/drum part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K and the brake assemblies you referenced AKEBRK-2.

• Do You Carry a QuickTrim Hub Cover for My Wheel that has 5 on 4.25" Bolt Pattern?
  Hello Joe, We do not carry anything in that size. When I look up that bolt pattern I see that it is common on some Fords, Lincolns, Volvos, and Jaguars. When it comes to the trailer world it is listed as "very rare". It might be worth updating your hubs and wheel to a more common bolt pattern. For an idler hub you could go with # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K, if you have brakes # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K. For tires and wheels you could go with the Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12"...

• Can I Change My Hubs From A 14" Wheel To A 10" Wheel?
  Hello Calvin. That is an interesting question. Usually, most folks want to go with larger wheels instead of smaller. The main problem we are going to run in to here, it that the hubs that are made for a 10" wheel will not fit on an axle/spindle with a hub designed for a 14" wheel. For example the # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K hub is made to support wheels between 13" and 15" only. When we go down in size we get to a hub/drum such as part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K. This hub will support a 10" wheel, but...

• Need New Hubs And Brake Assemblies For A 2003 Airliner Camper With A 2,000 lb Axle
  Good morning Janine. The 2,000 lb axles generally will use the 7 x 1-1/4 Inch assemblies like part # AKEBRK-2 along with a 7" drum. Most 2,000 lb axles will have a straight spindle that uses either the # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) bearings or a # L44643 (1" inner diameter) bearings. I do not have a way to know exactly what bearing size your 2003 Airliner Camper uses, so your best bet will be to remove one of the hubs and unpack the bearings. Each bearing should have a number stamped...

• Recommended 2,000 Lb Trailer Axle with Brakes for Small Trailer
  The best option we could provide you with is the Trailer Idler Axle Beam part # e48GR which measures 60" long and has a 2,000 lb weight capacity. It's not setup for brakes so in order to equip them you'd need to have a brake mounting flange welded on, the Brake Mounting Flange for 1-3/4" Round Trailer Axles part # 4-34. This will then allow you to add brakes like the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 and hubs/drums like the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles...

• What Size Hub Fits a 10" Wheel w/ a 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern?
  The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel item # AM3H490 will work with a hub up to 8" in diameter like the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles item # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K. The best way to determine the max wheel size would be to know the weight capacity of your axle. If you have a 2,000 lbs axle with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern then the recommended wheel size is between 8" and 12". If you have a 3,500 lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern then the...

• Availability of Replacement Hub for AL-KO 8440
  Hi Kevin; I agree and would say that the # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K will give you the same result. Unfortunately, this seems to be a classic case of AL-KO parts not matching industry standards. AL-KO is no longer around, and many of their axles/spindles/hubs didn't match up with other brands. You might be able to find some old AL-KO parts out there but we don't carry them anymore. The best solution I can offer is complete axle replacement. Since none of our 2k axles have a brake flange the universal...

• Can I Add Breaks To Tractor Supply Trailer With 4.20 x 8 Tires And 2,000 Lb Axle?
  Hello Russell, thanks for reaching out. Does your axle have a brake flange? If so, it is possible to add brakes to add brakes, but the problem you would run into is the brake drums for a 2,000 lb axle would not be compatible with 8" wheels. You would need to upgrade to at least a 10" wheel for them to be compatible. Upgrading the wheels might be possible, but the main thing to consider there is your fender clearance. Ideally you want at least 3" between the tire and the fender, and at...

• Replacement Hub for 2007 Flagstaff Tent Trailer With 8440 Hub
  Hi Fred; is that an AL-KO 8440 hub? Based on what we have previously found that is a hub and drum assembly that uses # L44649 inner and outer bearings. I recommend verifying that information just to be sure. Assuming that is correct, the # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K will work as a replacement.

• Longer Weight Distribution Shank Recommendation to Get More Tailgate Clearance
  Best solution we have is a long weight distribution shank. The part # RP3215 is 13 inches long which is around 4 inches longer than most shanks so it should be what you need to get additional clearance.

• Does Hub & Drum Have to be Specific to Weight For 2,500 lb Axle
  Hi Doug, Good question, and the weight listed for the hub and drum is just for the typical axle rating it fits, so it does not have to be a match. What does have to be a match is the bearing numbers; for example the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K use inner and outer bearing L44649 with a 1.063" inner diameter, so you'd need that to match. There isn't a hub and drum for a 2,500 lb axle but there is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,500-lb...

• What Parts are Needed to Add Brake Components to 2,000 lb Rated Torsion Axle
  Hey David, so a 2,000 lb torsion axle is going to use 2,000 lb axle brake components...unless it's like an off-road trailer and then the spindles might have been upgraded to 3,500 but that's pretty rare and really only found with Timbren brand axle less setups. For a 2,000 lb axle the brake drum size is 7 inch like the part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K. This would require assemblies like the # AKEBRK-2. Is there a reason you wanted to go with a 10 inch drum setup?

• Why Dont 2,000 Lb Trailer Axles Comes with a Brake Mounting Flange
  A 2,000 lb trailer axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # T20BTR-7258 is not going to come equipped from the manufacturer with a brake mounting flange because of the weight of the trailer it is designed to be used on. However, most qualified welders can add the brake mounting flange part # 4-34 for a very small fee. The Dexter Trailer Axle has a 2,000 lb weight capacity, 58" spring center, and 72" hub face length. It uses a L44649 bearing on both the inner and outer seats. Once...

• Complete Electric Brake Installation for 2,000 lb Trailer Axle
  With the axle measurement and the bearing number, I can confirm that you have 2,000 lb capacity axles on your trailers. You will want to get the Brake Mounting Flange, # 4-34, to weld onto each side of each axle. With that flange in place, you will want to mount the 7 inch Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-2L on the left side of the axle and the # AKEBRK-2R on the right side of the axle. These are nearly identical parts, but installing on the correct side is very important....

• Replacement Hub Drums for AL/KO 8440 and Compatible Brake Assemblies
  The AL/KO 8440 is a 2K capacity, 7 inch hub drum with a 5 on 5-1/4 inch bolt pattern that uses a L44649 inner and outer bearing and a 10-9 grease seal. The proper replacement would be the etrailer brand # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K which is compatible with both E-Z Lube or standard spindles. The bearings, grease seal, races, dust cap, lug nuts and even the grease are included. These drums are compatible with the # AKEBRK-2 brake assemblies you'd mentioned. You'll also need the # BRKH7 mounting...

• Replacement Hubs for Boat Trailer with L44549 Inner and Outer Bearings
  I'm guessing you actually have bearings # L44649 and you either mistyped or the bearing number is difficult to read. Having # L44649 as both the inner and outer is a very popular combination on 2,000 pound axles. If you need to verify to be sure this is what you have measure the inner diameter of the bearings with a digital caliper, like part # PTW80157. It should meaure 1.063 inches. I've also done some research and found that bearing L44549 has the same dimensions as # L44649 so it...

• Parts Needed to Add Brakes to 1992 Coleman Arcadia Pop-Up Camper
  Based on your manual indicating 7" brakes it is probably a 2,000 lb axle. That should be a 4-bolt brake flange on the axle as well. Try checking your axle tag to see if you can verify this.
