Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly for AL-KO 3,500 Pound Axles

Question:

I am replacing all my hub and drum assemblies for my AL-KO 3500 axles with EZ lube. What is the difference between the hub and drum assemblies Code AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and code 84546UC3-EZ

Both the etrailer.com # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and the Dexter 84546UC3-EZ Trailer Hub and Drum Assemblies referenced in your question will fit your 3,500 pound AL-KO axle as long as it uses the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing. Both assemblies include the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts and are compatible with 3,500 pound axles. These also have a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches.

The only real difference between the two assemblies is the manufacturer and the price. Because of our relationship with the manufacturer, we are simply able to pass down the cost savings we receive to the customer.

I have attached an installation video for the etrailer.com Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly as well as a couple of articles that you may find helpful.
