Question:

I have a triple axle trailer with #4800 axles. has the LM67048 outer and 25580 inner bearing. would like to upgrade to the hubs with the 15123 outer bearing? according to my measurements and the bearing ids looks like it will fit? any reason to not put these on?

Expert Reply:

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle.

The part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

Tanks Jameson, i was looking for the same thing and get on your message. This is what i have ,a trailer with somes old axles(i things come on a big mobile trailer 60foots longs) and i have the outer lm67048 and the 25580 inner bearing. I have the old wheels( we call it crapo will), have bolts with a metal shime to lock the wheels. But now in quebec, canada, it's not more legal. I want to change for the new hub (6bolts), thats perfect from you it's suppose to fit! I have a other question for you, on 1 axle, i have a back plate for the brake, but they only have 4 bolts on a square back plate. This morning i stop at the car quest, and bring a back plate with brake on it, but the 12inch, it's a 5 bolts, don't fit at all, my question is did you have, or did somebody have that back plate with brake that i can bolts on the square 1 i have welded on my axle, or i need to order the 1 with 5 bolts? This is to put some brakes on 1 axle. merci

@BrunoL What is the axle brand? It's possible you have something older or maybe a different brand like Hayes or AL KO that have a different bolt pattern. Is it a perfectly square bolt pattern or are the top bolts wider than the lower?

@JamesonC Ouff it's to old Jameson, cant see the brand. my dad toke thoses old axles to make a trailer. But i still have the old electric brakes unit on it, i toke off and they are not perfectly square. I have 3 3/8in between the 2 top 1 and the sames on the 2 lower 1. And i have 2 3/4in between the top 1 and the lower 1

@BrunoL Yeah that does sound too old for modern part replacements. I was hoping you had the Al Ko 6k brake assembly bolt pattern but your dimensions are off.
