Expert Reply:

There is one hub that we carry that uses the LM67048 outer and L68149 Inner bearing. This is a hub and drum assembly # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. The only problem is the seal that comes with this is a 10-19 seal which has an inner diameter of 1.719". So this would not effectively seal your spindle. We would also have to put electric brakes on the axle in order to use that hub.

This bearing combination is very uncommon these days. It may prove very difficult to find compatible hubs. At this point I recommend either putting on new spindles, or replacing the axle entirely.

If you want to do new spindles, we have the # TRU24FR. These will work with the idler hubs # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K which is a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. Keep in mind that new spindles will need to be taken to a professional welder or axle shop for installation.

You could also replace the axle entirely. If you want to go that route, we would want to some specs from the current axle. Specifically The hub face length, so that we can get you the correct size axle. If you want to look into it, feel free to contact me directly with more information and I will see what we can do to help.
