Review of etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums - Hub with Integrated Drum - AKHD-545-35-EZ-K Video

Hey Roy, The only U-bolt kit we currently only offer for 1-1/2" square axles is part #CE23102, which only has a 3-3/8" length so it likely wouldn't be the best option for you. Instead you'll want to order the 1-1/2" Square…

The Trimax Puck Lock for Trailer Door Hasps #TMX96RR cannot be keyed alike. While disappointing I'm sure, there is another option to consider, which is to order a quantity of two of the Trimax Puck Locks for Trailer Door Hasps #TMX73FR. The…

To replace your Tru-Ryde RVD-H-545 hub and drum assembly you need the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. This isn't the exact same brand but all of the bearings and seals match so it will be a direct…

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

The Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is designed to be used with 13"-15" diameter wheels. If using steel wheels they can be torqued between 90-120 ft-lbs while aluminum wheels should be torqued between 90-100…

The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K would be an excellent replacement for a Tru-Ryde Hub/Drum RVD-H-545. Then for new brakes, I recommend the Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit part #AKFBBRK-35.

Based on what information I could find about AL-KO 8490 hub and drums, it is rated for 3,500 pound axles, has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, and is a 10 by 2-1/4 inch drum. If this is the case, we have several options for you. I have attached a link to…

I definitely recommend replacing your 3,500 lb 26 inch leaf springs with the 26 inch 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles #e22YR. The 4,500 lb would be too stiff and your ride would suffer so the better option by far are the 4k…

The right and left orientation is determined if you are standing behind the trailer looking towards the tow vehicle. The left side is the drivers side and the right side is the passengers side. Tthe shorter brake pad will always be in the front of…

I do have options for you but we would not have a direct replacement for your 3,500 Lb Lippert Axle. Instead, we have the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part #ASR3500S05 or part #ASR3500S06 which as the title states is an axle-less style…

The width of the #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K that you referenced that comes in at 2-1/4 inches is the width where the shoe would touch the drum. If yours overall is 2-5/8 inches including the backing plate then this is the correct fit. I attached a picture…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
