Question:

I have a 2020 Tracker TrailStar boat trailer single axle. its a 5 lug 4 1/2inch with a tapered spindle. Inner bearing is a 1 3/8inch and Outer bearing is a 1 1/16. 3500#. It uses the EZ lube, i believe they are called the Super Lube spindles. Which hubs would be a good replacement/spare. Thanks

Expert Reply:

From what I could find out about the Super Lube Spindles, they will be much the same as the Dexter EZ-Lube style spindles, like the # TRU74FR. This will include a zerk/grease fitting on the end that allows a grease gun to attach to.

With that being said, I recommend going with the etrailer.com Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. This will have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and will match your bearings as well. One of the big pluses with this hub, though, is that it is galvanized. This finish offers excellent corrosion resistance and is great for use on boat trailers.
