Thanks for the information you sent. To make a more accurate recommendation, I need to know your bolt pattern, whether you have brakes, inner and outer bearings sizes, and the capacity of your axle.
With the information you sent, it sounds like you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle which often have inner bearings like Item # L68149 and outer bearings like Item # L44649. I do not know the exact bolt pattern of your wheels but the most common 5-bolt patterns are 5 on 4-1/2, 5 on 5, or 5 on 5-1/2. I will make recommendations for all based on these bearings sizes. I have attached articles about bearings and bolt patterns in case you need them.
For a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern with 10 inch diameter, I recommend Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly-Galvanized, Item # AKHD-545-35-G-K. This assembly is ideal for marine use and works with electric and hydraulic brake assemblies and comes with bearings, races, a grease seal, and lug nuts.
For a 5 on 5 bolt pattern with 10 inch diameter, I recommend Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, Item # AKHD-550-35-K. This assembly works with electric and hydraulic brake assemblies and comes with bearings, races, and a grease seal.
For a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern with 10 inch diameter, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, Item # AKHD-555-35-K. This assembly works with electric and hydraulic brake assemblies and comes with bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap, and lug nuts.
If you have a different bolt pattern, different bearings, or have other questions, let me know and I will make correct recommendations.
