Looking for Replacement 5 Lug Hub with Bearings L44649 Pre Greased

Question

Question:

I need help finding a full hub assembly - pre packed bearings and simply ready to install. I’m replacing TDE hub Part 11029 It’s a straight spindle 1 1/16”. Both the front and rear bearing is L44649 5 lug by 4.5 inch What pre greased wheel hub kit do you recommend. It’s for an old jet ski trailer that has been converted to a kayak trailer. Kayak is 75 lbs.

Hey Steve, we have just what you are looking for with the Easy Grease idler hub part # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K. This matches the bolt pattern and bearings your hub has and also is pre-greased! How many kayaks do you fit on the trailer?

Thanks - two follow up questions 1) I’m using 12” wheels - this assembly indicates for a 13-15” wheel. 2) My inner grease seal has an ID of 1.25 vs this assembly has a 1.50” ID. Does that additional information change your recommendation? Thanks Steve

@SteveW Good catch. That's odd it has that wheel size restriction but you could use the part # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K instead which is 12 inch wheel compatible. Are you absolutely sure that's your grease seal diameter? That wouldn't be a standard size and we wouldn't have a solution based on that.

@JamesonC Would CE Smith part #CE13311 work? It appears to fit 12 inch wheels 1.06 straight spindle inner and outer bearing and has a 1.25” inner grease seal. Appreciate your thoughts

@SteveW Yes it would actually. Sorry I didn't find that for you but yes the part # CE13311 is correct. I oftentimes forget we have that hub due to how rare it's correct fit but I am glad you found it!

Hey Sam! There are hubs that will work with those wheels. The first thing I would do is confirm the bearings for your spindle. Did you measure the spindle with a digital caliper? The bearings could be #L44643 which have a 1.00" inner diameter…

Hi Jerome; the 1-5/16" measurement for the #AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K wheel studs is from the flange to the end of the stud with it assembled. They're actually 2" long overall. You have a BTR spindle since you have #L44649 inner and outer…

Hi Chris! I would be shocked if the wheels have a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. I don't think I have ever seen a 12" wheel with that bolt pattern. They will typically have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and I would encourage you to have him look at the…

The TruRyde Spindle #TRU94FR and our Trailer Idler Hub Assembly #AKIHUB-545-2-2K are not compatible, but you could use the TruRyde EZ Lube Spindle #TRU44FR instead as it has the correct spindle measurements. For a hub that will work with the TruRyde…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
