Video Transcript for Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles Feature Review

Today we're going to take a look at the Kodiak XL Pro Lube Kit for 3500 pound axles. Now, this kit is designed to eliminate corrosion and leaks that are commonly resulting in premature bearing failure. This will convert your trailer from grease to oil with your existing hubs. The bearings will oiled through the centrifugal force. That will give you low maintenance, high corrosion resistance, and cooler running for longer bearing life. The body on the cap here, let me take the top off here, is an anodized aluminum construction.

It's for nice corrosion resistance. It is designed to fit 1.98 inch hubs, and 3500 pounds axles. The cap that screws on to it is a blue polycarbonate material, and you can see through it to see the level of the oil. Has a rubber plug right in the middle here that you'd pull out to fill the oil. It does have a water-tight O-ring seal around there, so when you do tighten that in, it will seal that. Now, the oil seal, you do need to replace your seals.

The oil seal is a ribbed, anti-rotation design. The seal is designed to fit 1.72 inch spindle outside diameter, and 2.56 hub inside diameter. This is not for use with the 1.68 inch spindle. The oil it comes with, this tube, or this bottle of oil, is a special synthetic formula to help reduce friction. It is compatible with your existing grease.

That should do it for the review on the Kodiak XL Pro Lube Kit for 3500 pound axles.

I have not used them yet, but the quality of the kit is very good!



by:

They are the right parts I ordered, but they took a long time to arrive. Other than that, no problems.



by:

Kit was great, I ended up using different seals, my choice. Hubs installed well, seem to be doing what they are designed to do. I am happy with this purchase.



by:

Don't know if it was these being too big or your hubs being to small. Extremely tight fit. Did get them halfway seated and had a tough time from there. Most likely will have to destroy them when I have to remove them

  • Converting Hubs From Grease To Oil Bath On 2014 Outback 298RE Travel Trailer
    Hey Perry, thanks for reaching out. We certainly should have the parts you need for an oil bath conversion, but I will need to collect a bit more info on your axle in order to be sure you get the right parts. First I will need to know the weight capacity of each axle. That will help a lot to narrow down the right parts. I will also need to know the bearing sizes and seal size for your hub. You will need to get brand new bearings since you are switching over to oil. The best way to determine...

  • Parts Needed To Convert Triple Axle Boat Trailer With 3,500LB Axles From Grease to Oil Lube
    First you are going to want to confirm the bearings, grease seal and cap used on your axles. Some older and boat specific 3,500lb axles use different size seals and caps. The Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE1980KIT you found fits the standard 3,500lb axle sizes. The grease cap fits a 1.98" hub bore and the included seal fits a 1.72" spindle landing for the seal. If this matches what you have you will need 3 of these kits and I recommend getting 6 of each Inner Bearings # L68149, Inner...

  • What Disc Brakes Do You Recommend For 2003 521 Ranger With A Tandem Axle
    I will answer you second question first. The difference between the three Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2" is the rotor finish. The differences are as follows: part # K2HR35D, has a Dacromet coated hub-rotor part # K2HR35DS, has a Dacomet and stainless steel coated hub-rotor part # K2HR35DDKG, has a Dacromet and KodaGuard coated hub-rotor. The brake kit with the Dacromet and KodaGuard will have the best corrosion resistance between the three. With regard to what brake...

  • Can Regular Grease Trailer Hubs be Converted to Oil Bath Hubs
    The choice of oil bath or regular hubs is up to the manufacturer. They are usually found on higher capacity axles, though as you know there are some on lower capacity axles. You can convert some hubs from grease to oil bath using a kit such as # XLPROLUBE1980KIT but for others it would not be possible without changing the hubs. This is because oil bath hubs use an oil cap that threads onto the end of the hub. Most regular hubs are not threaded so you would not be able to screw on an oil...

  • Replacement Timbren Axle-Less System and Hydraulic Brake Assembly for 3,500 lb Axles on Boat Trailer
    I would love to help you upgrade your suspension components! I am guessing that you have 3,500 lb axles on your trailer but if you could verify that it would help me to make sure that I recommend the correct parts for you. Also, are you looking to add brakes to both axles or just keep them on one pair? You would get more braking power and less wear with brakes on all of the axles but if you only want them on one then that will also play into the parts.

  • Grease to Oil Bath Trailer Hub Conversion Kit for 3500 Pound Axles
    The kit in question is # XLPROLUBE1980KIT. It fits 1.98 inch hubs (the opening where the grease cap fits in the hub) and 3500 pound axles. The seal which will replace the regular grease seal fits 1.72 inch spindles (diameter where the seal rides on the spindle) but will not fit 1.68 inch spindles.

  • Where to Measure Spindle to Find the Correct Seal
    You are correct that for the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE1980KIT the 1.72" is the diameter of where the oil seal rides and would not work for a 1.68" diameter. Oil is often used on higher capacity axles and we do not offer an oil seal that measures 1.68". We do have grease seals with an inner diameter of 1.68", part # 168233; if yours is a grease hub and you are using oil that may be why it is leaking but if the hubs are also full of water that can also cause leaking. I recommend...

  • Upgrading From Grease Filled Hubs To Oil Filled Hubs On a 3,500LB Axle
    The Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE1980KIT can be used in place of your Grease Seal # 58846(2.565" OD, 1.719" ID) if you are converting your hubs to oil bath. The Seal # XLPROLUBE1980SEAL for oil bath hubs will require you to replace your bearings with a Bearing Kit # BK2-100 to ensure you get all the grease out of your hub. I recommend carrying an extra Cap # xlprolube1980 and Oil # XLPROLUBE with your trailer in the event the rubber plug falls out or the cap gets damaged. Then you...

  • Can The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 42865-KIT Be Converted To Oil Bath
    Hey Randy, In order to switch your Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 42865-KIT over to oil bath you'll need to replace the bearings, grease seal and grease cap. We offer the oil seal # RG06-090, bearings # 25580 and # 14125A, but unfortunately do not have an oil cap compatible with the 2.72" diameter of the # 42865-KIT. You can try reaching out to Kodiak or Dexter for a compatible cap. When swapping over you'll want to really clean of the spindle and make sure that all grease is removed...

  • Replacing Grease Lube Hubs with Oil Bath Hubs
    You can most definitely add oil based hubs to your trailer axles. If you have 3,500 lb axles you can use # XLPROLUBE1980KIT to convert your grease hubs to oil based hubs. With this kit you will need to pop off your old grease hub caps. You will then clean all of the grease off the spindle, hub and bearings. Lastly, install the new oil bath hub cap by tapping it into place and fill with oil. If you have a larger size axle there is no way to convert the hub for oil based. You will need to...

  • Solution for Needing Replacement Cap of Kodiak XL ProLube Kit XLPROLUBE1980KIT
    I have a solution for you but just the blue cap of the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles Item # XLPROLUBE1980KIT that you referenced is not available. So your best option would be the Kodiak XL ProLube Oil Bath Hub Body and Cap # xlprolube1980 which is the blue cap and the metal piece it attaches to.

  • Wear Sleeve To Use With The XLPROLUBE1980KIT
    The Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE1980KIT is designed to work with most 3,500lb axles that use a # L68149 inner bearing and a # L44649 outer bearing. The corresponding wear sleeve is the Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60010. The seals included with this kit would be used in place of the rubber seals that come with the # XLPROLUBE1980KIT.

  • Difference Between Grease Seal GS-2125DL and Seal 22558

  • Is an Oil Bath System Compatible with EZ Lube Spindle # TRU74FR
    Yes, you should have no problems using an Oil Bath System, like part # XLPROLUBE1980KIT, with a number 84 EZ Lube Spindle, like part # TRU74FR. A few things to keep in mind when installing an oil bath system. You will want to make sure that everything is sealed up properly because oil is a liquid and if you have a major leak you will lose your lubrication. When you install the body and cap you will need to make sure that it is installed all the way in your hub and is not crooked. If you...

  • Replacement Seals And Hubs For Boat Trailer W/ 3500lb Axles And Oil Bath Hub and Rotors
    There are special seals to convert your 3500lb rotors to oil bath, and they can be replaced with Replacement Seal For 3500-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE1980SEAL. While we do not offer 9-3/4" rotors for your 3500lb boat axle, we do have the Dexter 10" Hub-and-Rotor Assembly # K08-435-05 which measures 10" in diameter, and is designed for 3500lb axles. This rotor uses inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649, and grease seal # RG06-050(you will not need the grease seal as you will need the...

First is the Kodiak Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Stainless Steel # KH84545S. These will require Bearings # L68149 and # L44649. Be sure to order a hub and bearing set for each wheel.

  • How Does Trailer with Oil Bath Hub Convert to Grease
    To convert an oil-bath hub to a grease hub all you really have to do is is remove the oil from the hub and replace it with grease like the LMX Red grease # L11390. The cap, seal, and bearings you have now are perfectly compatible with grease.

This will include a grease seal if you are planning to change to a greased hub.

  • Recommended Replacement For A Tie-Down Engineering Disc Brake Hub
    I will start by saying that your TDE 11033L hub uses the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, which means you have a pretty standard #84 spindle on a 3,500 pound axle. With that said, we do not carry Tie Down Engendering products, so the actual hub will cause some difficulties. Especially being oil bath as hubs for this size axle were only ever really done by TDE. Just as an example, if you look at the Kodiak Trailer Hub # Q-HUB84545 that will fit the Kodiak 10" Rotor # KR10D,...

    Based on my research a hub with a part number 46845 is a hub with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649. For this you would be able to use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K; we do not have any assemblies that come with an oil bath but you can convert this hub to an oil bath with the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE1980KIT.

  • Recommended Spare Parts To Replace UFP Hubs With Rotors And Calipers

For your trailer hubs with rotor, I recommend the Kodiak 10" Hub-and-Rotor Assembly - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs # KHR10D. You will need grease seal # RG06-050 along with bearing # L68149 and # L44649. For your brakes, I recommend the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K225CPSS along with the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Stainless Steel - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs...

  • Parts Needed to Convert Boat Trailer w/ 10 Inch Electric Drum Brakes To Hydraulic Disc With Oil Hubs
    First you will want to verify exactly what size axle you have but it is most likely a 3,500LB axle. I recommend using a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to verify the grease seal and bearing landing sizes on your spindle. A typical 3,500lb axle will use a Grease Seal # 58846 (1.719" ID), Inner Bearing # L68149 (1.378" ID) and Outer Bearing # L44649 (1.063" ID). If this is what you have here is a list of all the parts you will need for the hubs, otherwise please let me know your spindle dimensions...

  • Can 3,500 lb Grease Hubs be Converted to Oil Bath
    What you have is a 3,500 lb hub that needs to be replaced with something like the # 84546UC3. This hub will fit your current trailer based on the bearing numbers you listed. You can use the # XLPROLUBE1980KIT with this hub to convert the setup to an oil bath type hub if you like though. This kit comes with seals and cap adapters so that oil can be used instead of grease.

So long as the spindle measures 1.72" where the seal rides, and the hub bore measures 1.98" the oil bath conversion kit you need is the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE1980KIT.
