Can Older Axles Fit With Hubs That Have 25580 and LM67048 Bearings

Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/05/2024

Question:

I was given 2 old axles. Upon disassembly of 1 hub, it came with bearings 25580 and LM57048. Is there an idler hub available with a 5 on 4.5. Thankyou

Hey Tracy, thanks for reaching out!

Your older axles are compatible with hubs that have a 6-bolt pattern like the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-213-5UC1, but unfortunately there aren't any with a 5-bolt pattern that will fit them.

It sounds like we'll either need to get you some new axles or larger wheels to fit the correct hubs. Let me know which way you'd like to go and I'll be happy to further assist you!

Hey Tracy, what did you end up deciding to do with those older axles—go with new ones or switch to larger wheels for the 6-bolt hubs? Your update could make it easier for others working with similar axle setups.

@RobinH Hello. I live in absolutely nowhere Canada where anything is a major chore to get, so I sold the 2 axles and will purchase something more modern/new.
