Parts Needed to Add Disc Brakes to Timbren Axle Less Kit ASR35HDS02

Question:

Hello, I am looking to find disc brake hubs that fit with the ASR35HDS02. I have looked through your QandA and the question has been asked before but the answers to which hubs work well seems to differ. For example, here: The suggested parts call for a GS-2125DL grease seal with a 2.125inch ID. However, here: The idler hub recommended 008-213-9B uses RG06-070 which has a 2.25inch ID. Lastly, here The #42 spindle is referenced and the hub recommended is 42865-KIT with a 2.125inch ID. However, the #42 spindle references a 2.25inch ID grease seal. Can you please confirm which disc hubs will work with these axles and also the bearings and grease seals appropriate.

The spindle diameter of the Timbren kit part # ASR35HDS02 where the seal rides is definitely 2.25 inch so to go with a disc brake setup for this setup will require a hub that has that size seal. That said, the Kodiak Disc brake kit part # K2HR526DKG that was mentioned in the first question you referenced does require correct size inner seal so it would work great.

The seals needed are # RG06-070. You would also need the bearings part # 25580 and # 15123. The bearings are sold individually so you would need to order a quantity of two for two hubs (the grease seals are sold as a pair).
