Hi Daniel!
The etrailer Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 7K Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 # AKIHUB-865-7-1-EZ-K can definitely be used as an emergency hub, though I think the Pre-Greased # TRU68AV would be the better option. Since it already has the grease in it, I think it would be more "plug and play", so to say.
Both of these use the pretty standard # 25580 inner and # 14125A outer bearings used on 7K axles, but it wouldn't hurt to double check your bearings to make sure these match what you have. There are a couple different bearing combinations used on 7K axles. These both also have 9/16" studs, which is very common on 7K axles with the 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.
