Will Disc Brake Kit Work with EZ-Lube Spindle
Question:
Do you have the kit without the swing tongue? I also need bearing on front axle. My old actuator is an A60. Do you have an A60 that comes with a drum to disc conversion kit? I need one that fits inside my trailer not the kind that bolts on.

Yes, you can use the Disc Brake Kit and Actuator T4843500 on a trailer that has a grease fitting on the end of the spindle (often known as an EZ Lube spindle). You do need to make sure that this kit is compatible with your trailer's axle capacity, brake mounting flange, bearings and grease seal are compatible.
The Disc Brake Kit T4843500 is rated for a 3,500 lb axle with a 4-bolt brake mounting flange. It uses inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649 and grease seals # RG06-050. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper such as # 301-17068 and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings and grease seal ride. You can use the photo I've attached to see exactly where you need to measure.
Should your current hub have the same bearings (or measurements) as the Disc Brake Kit T4843500 you would be able to use it.
I have added a link to a video review of this kit for you to check out as well.
