Yes, the bearings I listed will work for the Eaton hubs on 14 B full floaters. I went through the Timken catalog to figure it out.

It won't work the other way though. 14 B hubs won't fit the Eaton axle without machine work. The inner bearings/races are compatible, but the outer would need to be machined to take the Eaton bearing.

When it comes to brakes, you will have to get creative. The Eaton hubs, at least the ones I have, don't have as much offset as the 14 B dually hubs.

I've never ran a spool. Can't telly you anything about it.
