Question:
Hello. I’m looking for a hub for my trailer 5 on 4 1/2. The current bearings are outside L44649 and inside L45449. Having a hard time finding a hub for these spindles with that inside hub bearing. Is there any help you can give me? Thank you

Hi Anthony,
I'm sorry to say there are just no trailer hubs that have an L45449 bearing, or one with an equivalent size bearing to fit the spindle. The only option really is to replace the spindle with one that has common bearing sizes, and this will depend on the capacity of your axles.
For example, if you have 3,500 lb axles you could use Spindle # TRU74FR with hub # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.
Or for 2,000 lb axles you could go with Spindle # TRU44FR and hub # 8-259-5UC1-EZ.
I have added links below to our entire selection of both spindles and hubs for you, which you can filter through by weight rating.

Hey Anthony, did you end up replacing your spindle so you could use one of the compatible hubs? Knowing which setup worked for you could help others trying to match those same bearing sizes.
