The "E" measurement is the diameter of the threaded end of the spindle. Assuming that you have the proper castle nut for the spindle and it takes the same bearings as hub # AKIHUB-545-35-K then you can use the hub. This hub uses inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649. If you still have the old bearings you can look at the numbers stamped into the sides of them.

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.
