Question:
I am looking to purchase those axle, however I already have hub assembly from my axle that I’m replacing, will I have to buy new hub assemblies or can I use my old ones?

Expert Reply:
As long as your current hubs, bearings, and seals are all in good shape then you'll be okay installing them on the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e53GR.
It's also worth noting your hubs need to use the # L68149 inner bearing, the # L44649 outer bearing, and a grease seal with a 1.719" inner diameter. If all that matches up then you're good to go on fitment and you just need to make sure you repack the bearings and hub!
