A 10" hub and drum assembly like the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K may work but you will need to identify your axle/bearings before this can be confirmed. The first thing you should do is check for an axle tag to see if you can get a serial number. Assuming it isn't worn off or missing the manufacturer will be able to identify it with the serial number if they're still around.

You can also pull off your hubs and check your bearings for part numbers. The number would be stamped into the side. If it is worn or missing you will have to measure the inside diameter of the bearings and the inside/outside diameter of the grease seal or measure the spindle where they ride. Since this is a very precise measurement you will want to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157.

The # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K has a # L68149 inner bearing (1.378" inner diameter) and # L44649 outer bearing (1.063" inner diameter) with a 10-19 # 58846 grease seal (Inner diameter: 1.719" Outer diameter: 2.565"). If this matches what you have then it will work as a replacement. If not, please feel free to reach out with your bearing information and I will see if a replacement is available. Since this is a 1996 it is possible it has an old obsolete bearing combination in which case the only option would be axle replacement.

Well thank you very much for such a quick reply. If those happen to be the bearing and seals compatible to mine, i already carry them im stock. I'm still interested on a whole assembly though, once i get home i can double check ,but from the picture it looks near identical Thanks again
