Question:
Im working on an old cable reel trailer with no information. The bearings are the same as DX22XR, but the hub is only 3.5. Yours says measures 4.125inch . What is the measurement from the outside of one race to the other? mine appears to be about 2 3/4 Do you think DX22XR will work?

Expert Reply:
You have a shorter stub spindle on your axle which we do not have a replacement hub that will fit. The only solution we can point you towards for your trailer is a new spindle that is longer like the BT8 spindle part # TRU94FR which would then allow you to install a similar hub that you referenced part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K which has the same 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
Spindles need to be installed perfectly square so best option is to find a shop local to you who has experience with this and let them do it as it typically requires special jigs.
