Question:

I have a question about your 6 lug 5 1/2 in hubs. I need to know if you have one that will fit a spindle. I do not know the weight of the axle, but do have the bearing numbers and measurements. Seal is 6283S from Federal Mogul. Bearings are 09067 .7500 and 15118 1.1895.

Expert Reply:

The sizes you gave line up with Timken bearings and races, however they are not compatible with standard size hubs and spindles. I recommend changing out your spindles for more long term options and compatibility. This will require a professional welder, but is a better long term option to have standard spindles.

You may want to consider changing out your spindles for #84 EZ Lube Spindles # TRU74FR or # TRU24FR. This will give you spindles compatible with no. 84 spindles.

Then you can use idler hubs like # AKIHUB-655-35-K or hub and drums like # AKHD-655-35-K or the EZ lube style # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K.
