Pre-Greased Hub/Drum for 3500 lb Spindles on 2018 R Pod 178 and Four Winns D0210S02 Trailer

I am looking for a pregreased hub and drum for a 2018 R Pod 178. If I am on the road and something happens, my intent is to be able to simply and quickly replace and get back on the road. When looking specifically for the R Pod 178 which is a nice feature on your website, it appears all such items are 6 bolt while my R pod is a 5 bolt. The R pod has the 3.5K EZ Lube Lippert item #V000318009 and 15inch tires. I tried measuring the distance of the bolts and the consensus 2 out of 3 measurements showed 4 1/2, but this might not be correct. Any assistance in pointing me to the proper item would be appreciated. Thank you. Dan

If you have a 3500 lb axle, you'll have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. You can confirm this by measuring the center to center distance between 2 adjacent wheel studs. If it's 2-5/8 of an inch, you absolutely for certain have a 5 on 4-1/2 which is typical for a 3500 lb axle. The # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K 10 inch hub/drum you looked at is compatible with a 3500 lb axle, it uses an L68149 inner and an L44649 outer bearing and a 58846 grease seal and has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The bearings, races, grease seal, the grease, the E-Z Lube and standard spindle compatible dust caps and lug nuts are all included. The hub/drum is compatible with standard axles from most manufacturers, including Dexter, Lippert (LCI), and AL-KO. I've linked to an article that explains how to determine the wheel bolt pattern as well as to a video that shows how to install the hub/drum.
