Needing 3500 lb Hub/Drum With 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
Question:
I read your parts needed for 3500 trailer. My trailer specs BigTex 35SB states: AXLE 3,500# EZ Lube Axle w/ Brake Flanges with WHEEL 15 x 5 Black Spoke, 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern. What hub would I need so I dont have to buy new wheels and tires? I assume the hub listed in the article that state 5 on 4 1/2 will not fit.

Expert Reply:
You're correct, a hub/drum with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern wouldn't be compatible with your existing wheels.
For a hub/drum for a 3500 lb axle with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern, I'd recommend the # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K. This hub/drum is compatible with the spindles typically found on a 3500 lb axle, which uses a L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearing and a 58846 grease seal. The hub includes the inner and outer bearings, inner and outer races, the grease seal, dust caps for a standard and E-Z lube spindle and lug nuts. The hub/drum is fully greased and is ready to install. The hub would be fully compatible with your existing 15 inch wheels.
For brake assemblies, I'd recommend self-adjusting brakes like # AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left side and
# AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right. If you don't wish to reuse your existing brake mounting hardware, we offer replacement hardware as part # BRKH10BS.
I'll link to an article showing how to install the hub and brake assemblies.
