Replacement Hub for 2008 EZ Loader Boat Trailer  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Hi Jonathan; I'm sure we have a replacement hub for your dad's 2008 EZ Loader boat trailer. However, you will need to identify the axle or the bearing combination to know what fits. Try checking the axle tag to see if it is listed. If not, you will need to pull the hub and check for part numbers on the old bearings or measure the inner diameter of the bearings if no part numbers are listed. This is a precise measurement so it should be done with digital calipers like # PTW80157. You will also need to identify the bolt pattern.

The majority of the EZ Loader trailers we are asked about have a standard 3,500 lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern using # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings. If you find this to be true for your trailer then you can use the # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K as a replacement. If you would rather have one that is galvanized since it is a boat trailer we also have the # CE13515.

If you find that it has a different axle/bearing combination you can let me know in the comments below and I will see what else is available for a replacement.

Hey Jonathan, were you able to check the axle tag or measure the bearings on your dad’s EZ Loader trailer? Knowing that would confirm if one of those 3,500 lb hubs fit. Your update could make it easier for others working on similar trailers.
