Expert Reply:

If you have 14" wheels on your trailer then you will want to use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K instead of the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 34822545BX. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly is only rated for use with 8" to 12" wheels whereas the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly is rated for use with 13" to 15" wheels because it has more of a surface area on the hub face.

Unfortunately, we don't have any pre-greased hubs that will work for you but greasing the bearings is super easy to do with part # L70025 and part # L11465. If you ever get stranded on the side of the road you are going to want these parts as well.
