Chris, so to start with your questions, you can use the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K as a replacement hub and drum assembly, and the #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # TRU24FR to replace your spindle, but we unfortunately do not have a replacement free backing kit.
But, we do have replacement bearings # L68149 & # L44649, along with the triple lip seal # DX49CR should you need those as well.
