Can etrailer E-Z Lube Hub and Drum Assembly Work with Lippert SuperLube Axle

Question

Question:

I recently bought 4 etrailer trailer hub and drum assembly for 3500-lb E-Z Lube Axles. However it has come to my attention that my trailer has the super lube hub sytem. The manual say I have the same 5 on 4-1/2 hub. My Question is can I use the etrailer hub on my Lippert super lube axle

As long as the SuperLube spindles on your trailer use the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, the etrailer E-Z Lube Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K will work perfectly. The only thing different about the SuperLube spindles when compared to a standard unit is that it features a built-in zerk fitting to allow for easy lubrication without having to remove the entire hub assembly. The Dexter E-Z Lube spindles use this same design. The etrailer hub that you purchased simply has a grease cap with a rubber plug that can be removed to access this E-Z Lube grease zerk, which will work just the same for your SuperLube spindles.

I have attached an installation video that you might also find helpful.
