Question:

I am attaching a photo. Will this hub fit my axle? I believe it is a 5,200-6000lbs axle, but I want to make sure the spindle is correct. Thanks!

The picture you sent is off a brake assembly. It looks to be a 12 inch assembly, probably a 12 x 2 inch. Hub # AKHD-655-6-K does accept 12 x 2 inch brakes. But to determine if the hub fits the spindle I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings. Or I would need to know the spindle measurements, see picture explaining the measurements. These measurements have to be as accurate as possible so I recommend using calipers such as # PTW80157.

Trailer hub and drum # AKHD-655-6-K uses inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 15123 as well as seal GS2250DL.
