Question:
I have a 1973 American single axle no brakes boat trailer. It has axle shafts with 1 3/8 inner and 0.86 outer diameters. It uses Timken LM12749 outer bearings. I would like to buy new hubs but dont see any with these axle dimensions

Expert Reply:
You are going to want to replace the Spindles # TRU74FR on your 1973 American boat trailer since your spindles are obsolete and we do not carry a replacement hub for this size axle. With the new spindles you will be able to use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. This hub is galvanized for better corrosion resistance. It also has a removable plug on the grease cap which will allow you to easily add grease to the grease zerk on the end of the new spindles.
