Feature Review CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 2,500-lb Axles Video

Based on the dimensions that you listed your trailer has the BT8 spindle on it. That would mean that the hub part #CE13100 that you referenced would fit it and work well.

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - L44643 Bearings - Pre-Greased #AKIHUB-440-2-1K won't fit your trailer spindle as it will be too long. The reason is, this hub is designed to work on BT8 spindles, which are longer than…

I went out to the warehouse and found that the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly #CE13100 measured about 4-1/4" but that was with the plastic still wrapped around it. If you took the plastic away it would probably measure closed to 4-1/8". The…

Yes, the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assemblies #CE13100 and #CE13110 will both fit on a BT8 Spindle #TRU94FR. The only difference between these 2 hubs is the Hub Assembly #CE13100 is threaded for wheel bolts and the Hub Assembly #CE13110 has wheel studs…

To determine which hubs would be best for your boat trailer there are a few things you will need to look at; the axle capacity on your boat trailer, the inner bearing number, outer bearing number, grease seal number, the bolt pattern of your wheels,…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Thank you for providing that helpful information. The replacement will depend on the bolt pattern you are looking for. If you need a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we have the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 13" to 15" Wheels - 5 on…

I have a solution for you on this, but we do not have any unitized assemblies available, so you would need to get a new hub and wheel for your trailer. I'll also mention that the #AKIHUB-440-2-2K won't work for you since the grease seal does…

The highest weight rated idler hub we offer with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern would be the #CE13109 which has a 2700 lb capacity and uses a #L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing and a 12192TB grease seal which has a 1.249 inner and a 1.983 outer diameter.…

Based on your photo it looks like you have 2,700 lb axles, and we do have hubs for that size axle. However, you will need to confirm the bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings…
