Question:

Hi I got a very helpful response from Jesse yesterday. Im just want to make sure I am ordering the correct hub assemblies. Pics below include trailer manufacturing specs etc. Also a pic of the inside and outside diameter of the hubs. I can confirm the tires are 5 on 4 1/2 if that helps. Will the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized Item # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K work? Im just unsure on sizing. Thanks for all the help.

Hello again Patrick thanks for the pictures. Everything I can see indicates we are on the right track with the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized Item # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K being the correct hub.

From the first picture we know it is indeed a 3,500 lb axle and it was made in 2010 (which is also a good sign). We also know that the grease cap flange diameter on the current hub is the same as that of the # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K hub at 1.99". Since you have confirmed that it is the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, I can confidently say that these are going to be the correct hubs.
