Question:

I would like to know if Item # DE62FR Deemax brake kit will fit on my boat trailer. I have an ez loader trailer with axle # 250-024287-10 and oil hub kit not the short hub # 300-034857. The axle and hub kit are already on the trailer and I plan to change out the current drum brakes to disc. Thanks

According to my research the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE62FR will fit your axle just fine. You'll need to use an idler hub like the 3.5K # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K and swipe out the grease seal with one that has an appropriate inner and outer diameter # 168255TB (1.687" and 2.561" respectively).

You'll want to double check this with what you currently have to make sure the bearings and seal dimensions match.
