  Since the axle in the photo is a Lippert 3,500 lb axle the bearings you need are part # L68149 for the inner and part # L44649 for the outer. You need part # RG06-050 for the seals.

• Are Trailer Spindles with Zerk Fittings EZ Lube Spindles
  You have an EZ lube style spindle based on having the zerk fitting. They aren't all the same but it's the same as the Dexter kits you mentioned. It's actually a common misconception that you are supposed to use the fitting to push out all of the old grease with new grease. While that sounds great in theory it commonly puts too much grease in the hub and the seal fails due to pressure. I'd recommend repacking by hand for best result! I attached a couple help articles on packing trailer...

• How To Determine Capacity of Trailer Axle for Picking Out Trailer Hub/Drum and Brake Assemblies
  The two part numbers you mentioned fit quite a few trailer axles out there but the key will be to verify that the trailer has 3,500 lb axles. If you can verify that your axles are 3,500 lb capacity then the hub/drums part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and Dexter self-adjusting brake assemblies # 23-468-469 will be exactly what you will need. One pretty easy way to do this is to measure the diameter of the brake assemblies on your trailer currently. If they are 10 inch then that's a pretty solid indicator...

• Troubleshooting Weak Brakes on 2017 Forest River/Surveyor Model 251RKS Trailer
  Sounds like you have self adjusting brakes and the linkage is partially preventing you from accessing the star wheel adjuster. I have an easier solution for you though. What you need to do is just apply the brakes several times as you are towing the trailer at a slow speed which will activate the assembly's tensioner and will automatically adjust them to the proper tension. You should feel the brakes get more sensitive with every application. If the assemblies were manual-adjust...

• Should Both Axles Have Brakes on a Tandem Axle Trailer
  You would gain extra stopping assistance by adding brakes to your second axle on your tandem axle trailer. This will also help keep your original set of brakes from wearing down as quickly since wear and tear will be placed on the brakes for both axles instead of just one. I am not quite sure of the laws for trailer brakes on tandem axle trailers so it would be best to contact your local or state law enforcement to get the current list of requirements. Personally I recommend putting...

  In comparing the eTrailer Axle Technology Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K, with the Titan Hub and Drum, # T1543900CB042, there are very few differences.

• Troubleshooting Noise Coming From Trailer Hub or Tire After Bump
  Since you hear a loud sound only after hitting a bump, it doesn't sound like a bearing issue or a hub issue. It sounds like a suspension or maybe even a tire issue. If it were a bearing, hub, spindle of brake issue, you would hear it at other times as well. The hanger wouldn't cause any noise as it is fixed in place, so you will need to consider the axle hardware where the springs meet the spring seat welded to the axle, the leaf springs, the equalizer, and even the tires.

• Is Extra Grease Needed When Installing the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles
  The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K comes pre-lubed which means the bearings are already packed for you but you would still want to add extra grease to the spindle and then fill the hubs as needed prior to use. If you don't already have some compatible grease I would simply recommend ordering the Wheel Bearing Grease part # L11404 for the can. The color of the grease won't matter as far as compatibility goes.

  In order to find the correct replacement hubs for your Triton 2 Place Snowmobile Trailer, you will need to first determine a few things using your existing hubs or spindle. I first recommend pulling the hubs on your trailer to check for the numbers that should be stamped onto the inner and outer bearings. If you cannot locate the numbers or if they are illegible, you can also measure the spindle at various locations where the bearings sit. I recommend using a digital caliper like #...

  You are correct. The only difference between the two hubs you mentioned # AKHD-545-35-K and # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the grease cap.
