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 all of our 10 by 2-1/4 inch, 5 on 4-1/2 hub and drum assemblies for 3,500 pound axles.
I recommend the etrailer.com Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K. This hub and drum uses # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearings. If you can let me know the inner and outer bearing numbers your existing hub uses, as well as the wheel bolt pattern, I will be happy to make a more specific recommendation or confirm that this hub will fit.
For brakes on the 10 x 2-1/4 inch drum on your Hayes/AL-KO axle, I recommend # AKEBRK-35-SA for new brakes. These are self adjusting brakes so once they're adjusted when you first install them you won't have to do it again.
