We do indeed offer an idler hub with a 5 on 5 inch wheel bolt pattern for a 3500 lb axle. The # AKIHUB-550-35-K uses the L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearing, you might want to check the reference numbers on your existing bearings to ensure that this replacement hub will be compatible with your spindles. The hub is pre greased, and includes the inner and outer bearing, the races, the grease seal, dust cover and 1/2 inch lug nuts. The bearings are pre-packed so all you'll need to do is install the hubs.

If you click the provided link, you can see a product description video featuring the hubs I recommended.

With an EZ-Lube axle you do not have to take off the hubs to re-pack the bearings. You can use grease like #L11390 along with a grease gun #L30200 to add new grease and push the old grease out. However, it is best to pull the hubs and manually…
