• What Size Axle Does a #84 Spindle Fit
  A true 1 inch spindle is a BT8 spindle, like # TRU94FR. The next closest one would be the BTR spindle which is commonly referred to as a 1-1/16 inch spindle, like # TRU44FR and is more common than the BT8. Both of these are typically used with 2,000 lb axles. A #84 spindle, like # TRU24FR or # TRU47FR is bigger and is used for 3,500 lb axles. Common sizes for these are 2-3/8 inch round axle, 3 inch round axle, and 2 inch square axle. I have linked a helpful page that shows the different...

• 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.

• Replacement Hub and Bearings for 1989 Tracker Boat Trailer
  Based on the pictures you attached and the outer bearing measurement you provided, it appears that you have 1-1/16 inch spindle like the BTR EZ Lube Spindle # TRU44FR. This particular spindle is designed for 2,000 pound axles and will use the same inner and outer bearing. I have attached the spindle's dimensions so you can compare them to what you have in order to verify the replacement bearing sizes. I recommend using a digital caliper like # PTW80157, as the measurements will need to...

• Availability of Bearings, Seals, and Cap For 2002 Trailstar Trailer
  The best way to determine the correct parts for your 2002 Trailstar trailer is to disassemble a hub on one side of the trailer and get the bearing part numbers that are stamped on the bearings. There is an inner and outer bearing. With these part numbers I will be able to determine the bearings, seals, and other parts you might need for your trailer. I looked up the Trailstar trailers and it looks like they use the EZ Lube hubs. The EZ Lube system will have a zerk fitting on the end of...

• Recommended EZ-Lube Spindle for a Carry-On 5' x 8' SP Series Trailer
  Hey Steve, thanks for the information. I tripled checked this but for whatever reason, Carry-On put a 2,000 lbs E-Z Lube axle pn 2K7158EZ on your 5' x 8' SP Series trailer and then decided to put spindles on it (pn 151T) that are not EZ-Lube. I looked at quite a few pictures of the 151T spindle online and they do not have the hole in the rear of the spindle or on the side where the hub sits that allows the grease to travel through. If you look at the pictures for the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle...

• What Are Dimensions Of The BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles TRU44FR?
  Hey Barry, thanks for reaching out. So the measurements we list for the # TRU44FR spindle are correct, but it looks like the picture they use above the chart is a generic image of a spindle, and it not an exact picture of the # TRU44FR spindle. I edited a picture to show the dimensions a bit more accurately. I hope this helps.

• What Hubs Can I Use On an Older Trailer?
  Thanks for your question, Jean. How old is your trailer? If it's an original axle and from the early 2000's or older it could have a short spindle. Short spindles would need hubs that are about 3-1/2" long. You can measure this by measuring the length of the hub bore from end to end. Newer, or also called modern spindles, will be closer to 4" or a tad longer. I'd also need to know what your bolt pattern to see if we have something that would also fit your existing wheels. Bearing # L68149...

• Are the TruRyde Spindle # TRU59FR and etrailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-2K Compatible
  The TruRyde Spindle # TRU94FR and our Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-2K are not compatible, but you could use the TruRyde EZ Lube Spindle # TRU44FR instead as it has the correct spindle measurements.

• How Do Trailer Spindles Typically Install on Trailer Axle
  Removing a damaged spindle is the easy part - it can be cut off with a torch or saw. But welding on a new one is another matter and requires the new spindle be welded exactly straight. It is actually easier to replace the entire axle with a new one that has good spindles on both ends. This may even be less costly than having a new spindle welded on by a qualified welder. It will also ensure that both spindles will have the same working lifespan, which would not be the case if only one is...

• Can I Change a 5 on 4-1/2 Drum With A 5 on 5 Drum For A Trailer With 3,500 lb Axles
  As long as the drums have the same weight capacity as the axles that you are putting them on then there should be no problems there. If you don't already have the 5 on 5 drums that you are asking about, I recommend using the E-Z Lube Hub and Drum Assembly # 84556UC3-EZ. It has the E-Z lube cap on the end of the drum so if you have E-Z-lube axles it makes greasing your axles easier. It also works great with axles that do not have the E-Z lube option. Since you are taking the 5 on 4-1/2...

• Can Log Splitter Trailer with Integrated Hub/Wheels be Replaced with Standard Hubs
  Hey Matt, we don't have any hubs that are designed to fit a 3/4 inch straight spindle like what you have. You could weld on new spindles like the part # TRU44FR so that you could fit standard hubs if that would be something you'd be interested in?

• Which Grease Seal for Trailstar Boat Trailer
  I don't have reference that lists which grease seal the hub on your trailer uses. In order to recommend the correct grease seal, I'll need some information from you. I'll need the inner bearing reference number and the diameter of the spindle where the grease seal rides. When you measure the spindle diameter, you'll need to use a highly accurate measuring tool like a digital caliper. Once I have that information, I'd be happy to recommend a grease seal for you.

• Options For Adding Regular 5 On 4-1/2" Hubs To A 1950s Boat Trailer
  Hey Troy, thanks for reaching out. We actually get this question fairly frequently since a lot of older trailers used "shorter" hubs compared to the current standard. I am sorry to say that we do not offer any hubs to fit this type of shorter spindle and the parts you are looking for are obsolete. Your best options here will be to replace your spindles with new ones, or to replace the axle entirely. That way you will have no trouble fitting the standard 5 lug hubs. Adding new spindles...

• Replacement Spindle For 1995 Calkins Boat Trailer
  Hi Lowell; since you're looking at # TRU97FR I'm assuming you want to replace the spindle. If it is pitted out where the grease seal rides I would say that is the reason for the water. The replacement spindle will depend on the bearings you have. This BT8 spindle is for # L44643 (1.00" inner diameter) inner and outer bearings. If you have # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) you need a BTR # TRU44FR. You may be better off replacing the entire axle if you can find one that matches. We do not...

• Recommended Metal Weld on Fender for a 12" Wheel
  Thanks for the picture Rich. The BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 1-1/4" Diameter item # TRU44FR is exactly what you need if your hubs have item # L44649 inner and outer bearings. For a grease seal you'll want item # 34823. We don't sell axle tubes so you'd need to go through whoever is welding on your spindles to sort out what you need. We do sell entire axles with idler hubs that have a 5 x 4-1/2 lug pattern like the item # e82GR item # CES84XR or item # CE33201GA-HUB....

• How Long Is the BTR Spindle TRU44FR From Inner Seal Edge To Start Of Threads?
  Hello Jim, thanks for reaching out. For the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU44FR the length from the inner edge of the seal to the start of the threads is 3-3/16". It sounds like your hubs are the old-style "short" hubs which are now obsolete. The best option would be to replace your spindles, or to replace the entire axle with something more modern/standard.

• Recommended Disc Brakes for a 10" Wheel
  I am sorry the Kodiak Disc Brakes item # KOD27FR can not be converted to fit your spindle. In order for this to work on your trailer you would need to replace your spindles with item # TRU44FR. The only option I have that fits your spindle is the Kodiak Disc Brakes item # KOD59FR but it won't work with wheels smaller then 13".

• How to Determine The Correct Replacement Trailer Hubs by Bearing Numbers or Spindle Size
  The best way to determine which replacement hubs you need for your trailer would be to remove one of the hubs and retrieve the bearings. Find the numbers stamped into the bearings and with those we will be able to get you the correct hubs. If you are unable to retrieve the bearing numbers, you can take measurements of the spindle. I have included a link to our spindle main page. At the top of the page is a diagram showing all of the measurements we would need to find the correct hubs...

• Replacing Hubs On a 4' X 6' Carry On Trailer From 4 on 4" Lugs to 5 on 4-1/2" Lug Pattern 15" Wheels
  Your current axle on your 4' X 6' Carry on Trailer will likely have either a BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR or BTR Spindle # TRU44FR. You can determine the spindle by removing your current hub and inspecting the bearings or by measuring the spindle itself. I have included a image that shows the locations of the bearing numbers and grease seals on your current hub as well as the measurement points for spindle as well.
