Disc Brake Kit to Fit Karavan Trailer with 3,750 lb Axles
Question:
Good day I currently have a Karavan trailer with dual 3750 torsion axles. My current hub with is a ufp dB-35 10” rotor hub takes bearings L68149/L44649 and races L68110/L44610 with a seal of 2.56/1.68 and 1.98 dust cap. I want to upgrade my brakes to the Kodiak kit 10” selling for $480 that work with 13” rims. My question is that the Kodiak hub/rotor in this kit take the same bearings with same inner diameter but it takes a different race and the seal is slightly different. Is this going to be a problem will it still work on my axle? Would I run my current size seal with the Kodiak hub ? And is one race size being different any issue?

Expert Reply:
The Kodiak disc brake kit you are wanting part # K2HR35D can be used on your axle but you will just need to go with a different seal instead, part # 168255TB. This has the same outer diameter as what the hubs fit but instead has the correct inner diameter for your spindle size. The bearings you need then are # L68149 and # L44649 like you mentioned as well.
