Question:
Do you have directions how to put together the Titan 5 on 4-1/2 Complete Hub-and-Drum Assembly - Hydraulic Brakes - 8-1/2inch Item # T1544500042? I want to make sure I get the bearings the right way. Thank

In order to install the bearings, races, and seals that come with the Titan 5 on 4-1/2 Complete Hub-and-Drum Assembly part # T1544500042 you can use the video I have attached for you on the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-K. This is a different hub/drum yes but the install process will be the same.
Please note that in order to properly grease the bearings you are going to need a bearing packer like part # L70025 as well as some grease like part # L11465. The Installation Set for Bearings, Races, and Seals part # PTW83020 is also a useful tool if you plan to be doing your own maintenance.
