In-Depth Review of the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles Video

The BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643 bearing. In…

It is easy to tell which type of wheel you have on your boat trailer. Lug centric wheels slide onto studs on the hub and are secured with lug nuts, like a car tire. If a wheel is hub centric, the wheel centers on the hub and bolts are threaded into…

First, I would say if there is any question on the road worthiness of the trailer, take the steps to correct it. Better safe than sorry. Some trailers have wheels that are hub-centric, the wheel is centered on the hub using the center pilot holes.…

That is an excellent question! In some instances mixing regular grease like part #L11390 won't hurt when mixed with marine grease, but in some situations it can ruin your hubs/spindles and taking the extra time to clean off the grease and redo…

It could just be the angle but looking at the picture you attached it appears that you have a 1-3/4 inch diameter axle. This would be consistent too with the smaller 2,000 pound axles that are typically on jet ski trailers like what you have. I do…

You will need the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly #AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-1K to replace your Knott hubs on your 2017 Triton boat trailer. This hub uses the Bearing Kit #BK1-150 which is good to keep on hand incase you have any issues while on the…

In order to find the correct hubs/drums for a trailer you'll need to know either the axle capacity, bearings numbers, or spindle dimensions. We can't look any of this up for any one particular trailer as there is simply no database of this…

The most I was able to find about the Coleman 4735CC201 leaf spring is that it's rated for 1,000 lbs which means it goes to a 2,000 lb axle. For that application we have the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End #e69SR which measures 25-4/8"…

The Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly you referenced, part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K is known as an idler hub. An idler is a hub that is no provisions for trailer brakes. It has no brake drum. Part #8-276-5 is an example of a hub/ drum that has a brake drum that…

You will need to measure the diameter of the spindles where the seal and bearings ride. Check out the picture I attached that shows where this is. You will need an exact measurement so either a digital or dial caliper will be needed. To pick out the…

I looked up the information on your TDE 46205 Hubs and found a couple of great replacements for you. The one you pick will depend on the number of wheel studs you have. For 5 wheel studs use the etrailer Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z…

If you have a hub that requires the protector to be threaded in I recommend the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors #BB1980T-SS, but if you just need protectors that you tap into the hub with a block of wood and hammer, then I recommend the Bearing…
