Helpful Expert Reply:

For axles with a capacity of 1,000 - 2,000 lbs there are two common bearing combinations. Depending on the spindle that was used, your hubs and axle could require two # L44643 bearings or two # L44649 bearings. The correct kits would be the # BK1-100 or # BK1-150.

Since AL-KO is no longer in business you will need to check your current bearings to verify. If you inspect your bearings they may have part numbers stamped in the side. If they aren't there, or have worn off, you will need to take some measurements.

I recommend using a digital caliper like the # PTW80157. The measurement you will be taking is the inner diameter of the bearings. Alternatively, you can measure the spindle where the bearings ride.
