Question:
I read ur email and recommendation, I've compared the bt8 and bt16 spindle and my spindle doesn't seem to match either one exactly, on the pics I'm sending seems like I have the diameter of a bt16 spindle with the grease seal of a bt8 spindle. My question is first of all is this possible and second do I buy a bt16 spindle hub and buy a bt8 grease seal? In addition, the bt8 recommends up to a 12" wheel and I currently have a 13" wheel.

For idler hubs, you will want the Trailer Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKIHUB-545-2-1K or the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern # AKIHUB-440-2-1K. This is a standard BT8 spindle. I've attached an installation video to assist as well as an article on bolt pattern.
