FAQs

• Q: What is this kit for?
  A: This kit lets you carry a complete greased hub (not just the wheel) so if your bearings or hub fail during a trip, you can quickly swap it on the roadside and keep going.
• Q: What type of hub is this made for?
  A: This version is designed to suit Holden HQ 5-stud pattern hubs, commonly used on many Australian trailers.
• Q: Does it include the hub and wheel?
  A: No. The kit includes the galvanised mounting bracket only. You’ll need to supply a greased HQ hub and a matching spare wheel.
• Q: Where does it mount?
  A: It mounts easily to either the trailer draw bar or winch post, using the included bolts. Multiple positioning options are available.
• Q: Is this useful even if I already have a spare wheel?
  A: Yes – your spare wheel is useless if your hub or bearings fail. This kit lets you bring the full replacement assembly, not just the tyre.
• Q: Can I use it for long road trips?
  A: Absolutely. This kit is ideal for remote travel, long distances, or any situation where towing assistance might not be nearby.
• Q: Is it easy to install?
  A: Yes – the bracket uses a simple bolt-on design. It’s a DIY-friendly upgrade you can do at home.
