All of our bearing kits, like the part # BK2-100 that was referenced, only include the inner/outer bearings, grease seal, and cotter pin/washer but I can help you get the other parts that you are needing as well.

For 10" x 2-1/4" brakes we have the Redline Hydraulic Brake Shoe/Lining # BP04-120 which comes in a set for 1 wheel.

Then for a grease cap if you could let me know what your hub bore measures (to the 3rd decimal like 1.234) I can help you select the correct size cap from the linked selection. Typically grease caps with a 1.98" like the part # RG04-040 will fit 3,500 lb axles but it is always best to check.

If your hub bore has a 2.08" measurement then the only option we have available come from Bearing Buddy. We have Chrome Plated # BB2080, Stainless Steel # BB2080SS, and Threaded Stainless Steel # BB2080T-SS. These are great replacements of standard grease caps because they give you a grease zerk fitting that is easily accessible plus they help to prevent overfilling your hubs with grease. I have attached some review videos that you can check out.

Answer 1

Since you do not have free backing brakes you will need to use replacement shoe/lining #BP04-120. This is for one wheel. For a whole axle you will need to order 2. These parts will fit on Atwood, Bendix, Dexter, and Dico 10 X 2-1/4 hydraulic brakes.

The leading brake shoe on the #BP04-120 is the shorter shoe. The trailing shoe is the longer of the two.
