Couplemate™ manufactures Swing Away Hubs from K1040, a high-grade Australian steel. This is the same grade of steel used for stub axles, as seen in the 4WD Swing Away Rear Kits, which ensures a sturdy and quality product.
The Flangeless Hub is manufactured to suit the following bearing profiles:
- LM/Holden Bearings – Light Duty Holder
- SL/Ford Bearings – Medium Duty Holder
- PLL Bearings – Heavy Duty Holder
The kits contain NSK-branded inner and outer bearing cones, our Australian-made dust caps, and seals.
Use tapered roller bearings on trailer and caravan axles as they handle a variety of awkward weights (such as spare wheels, jerry cans, trailer lifts, etc.).
Replace the 4WD swing-away spare wheel carrier if the weight exceeds the bearing limitations. This results in assembly collapse, and if so, replace it with the non-bearing type carrier.
Couplemate™ recommends either the 45mm Slimline or 45mm Parallel model because the fulcrum effect on the rear bar adds load.

Installation Note
The hub already has bearing cups machined in. Do not insert new cups into the hub if you are replacing the bearings for any reason.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of bearing does this hub use? It uses standard Holden LM series bearings, which are readily available and easy to service.
- Does it come pre-greased? No, hubs generally come with a storage oil coating and require thorough packing with high-quality wheel bearing grease before installation.
- Is this suitable for marine trailers? Yes, but use a high-quality marine seal and bearing protectors (like Bearing Buddies) to keep water out.
The Do’s & Don’ts
DO:
- Pack bearings completely with marine or high-temperature grease.
- Regularly check the pivot pin and swing latch mechanism for wear.
- Torque the wheel nuts to manufacturer specifications after the first 50km.
DON’T:
- Do not use an impact wrench to tighten the central axle castle nut.
- Do not submerge the hub in water while it is still hot from driving.
- Do not exceed the rated load capacity of your specific trailer axle setup.
