Question:
Hello, I have an enclosed cargo trailer with 3 of the Dexter Torflex 12 E-Z Lube axles and combined drum/rotor assemblies. I would like to switch to the DE76AR DeeMax slip-on rotor kit. Will your AKIHUB-865-7-1-EZ-K hub have long enough wheel studs for slip-on rotor and standard wheels? Do the studs stick out a full 1 9/16 inches from the hub?. Looks like I would need to get 9/16-18 lug nuts if I use these. I guess an alternative is the DE46VR DeeMax hub with races installed - not sure how much additional bearings, seals and caps would be needed with this alternative? Hope you have a Merry Christmas and I look forward to talking with you soon. Beaman.

Hey Beaman! You can use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub with the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers # DE76AR. However, these are designed to fit 1/2" wheel bolts and the # AKIHUB-865-7-1-EZ-K uses 9/16" wheel bolts like you said so they won't be compatible.
What you need instead is the # AKIHUB-865-7-2-EZ-K which comes with the 1/2" wheel bolts. The # DE46VR you referenced also has the correct wheel bolts. The bearing kit you would need to go with the DeeMaxx hub is the # BK3-200.
I hope you had a great Christmas and if we don't hear from you in the next few days have a happy New Year!
