We can certainly point you in the right direction. Unfortunately we do not have literature that will give us spindle/bearing sizes based off a year, make and model of trailer. So it may be difficult to recommend a direct replacement without a bit more information.

That said, looking at these 1994 FLOE Pro-100 plus snowmobile trailers, it appears to have a light duty single axle setup. My guess would be something like a 3,500 lb axle, or smaller. The best thing would be to have you confirm the spindle size and/or bearing sizes.

We offer spindles in a variety of sizes. We do recommend replacing both the spindles, and hubs while you are at it. For a 3,500 lb spindle we have the # TRU77FR. You can pair this with the idler hubs # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K if you want to go all new. Or for a 2,000 lb axle we have the spindle # TRU94FR and hub # AKIHUB-440-2-1K. If you are going to be replacing the spindles only, it is best to have this done professionally. We could look at replacing the axle entirely. We just need to know what length and weight capacity of axle is needed. Axles are measured across from hub face to hub face.

Answer 1

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Hey Patrick, those dimensions don't appear to be anywhere from what I can find. While I can't give you that info, I can say that as long as the bearings fit, and you have a #11 or #12 spindle, then the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly…

First you will need to remove the old hydraulic equipment. Remove the surge coupler or actuator, remove all the lines, and finally remove the brake assemblies. If you have 10 inch diameter hub and drums, you may need to replace those as well. If you…

I sure can Bob and thanks for the information! Since you have a Lippert 3,500 lbs axle you'll be able to use the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles item #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K, you were looking at. These have a 5 on 4-1/2 lug nut…

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…

The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles item #84545UC1-EZ fits a item #L68149 bearing which has a 1.378" inner diameter. I would not recommend using this hub on a boat trailer. Instead, you'll want a galvanized one like item…

Answer 9

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…
