Question:

Need to replace both hubs and bearings on an EZ Loader EZB 14-17 1250. Do not want oil bath anymore. Bearing are both UCF-12 with ID of 1.029”. the wheels are 4.80 x 12 with 5 lugs. Do you have straight conversion kit available? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

While we have some specs available on your EZ Loader EZB 14-17 1250, we have different measurements than your bearing with an inner diameter of 1.029". We unfortunately do not have any hubs that are compatible with that inner diameter measurement. Since this is the case, I recommend confirming your inner diameter of your bearings using calipers like the # PTW80157 for the most precise measurement you need. Also, I recommend measuring the inner and outer diameter of your current grease/oil seal.

With that being said, the closest measurement of hubs we have are for inner diameters of 1.000". Those are the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 10" to 12" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. This model requires the use of grease. Again, to make sure that this is the size you have, I recommend double-checking your inner bearing measurement. Also, these hubs have a grease seal measurement of 1.249" ID and 1.983" OD.
