Question:
Hi, I have a 30 year old 4x8 utility trailer. The hub has an inner bearing 68149 Koyo and an outer bearing 12749 Koyo. The bolt pattern is 5 4.5. I’m trying to find a set of replacement hubs. The current hubs are brake rotors with studs - the trailer does not have brakes so I am simply looking for 5-4.5 hubs…

I have a couple recommendations for you as your current spindle size is obsolete. First you can have 2 new Spindles # TRU64FR welded on your axle to use the current Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K. The simplest option may be to use the CE Smith Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs # CE33201GA-HUB. This gives you an all new axle and hubs so you do not have to worry about welding the spindles on straight or the axle tube bending due to the age of the steel.
