Replacement Brakes, Hub/Drums, Bearings, And Seals For A Lippert 3,500lb Axle  

Updated 01/27/2026 | Published 08/22/2024



Question:

Im in need of a brake drum/hub, bearings and electric brake assemblies for the driver side rear for a travel trailer. Easy grease is preferred. The axle ID is LCI35-SBSA-87.5-68.5-NOSP-OS-L-545-7209-18PT-3. I could also use some water tight electrical connectors for the wiring connections. Videos of installation will be helpful and appreciated if you have them. Thanks, Dan

Hey Dan,

The info you provided does tell us a bit about the axle but isn't enough to look up what components go with with it. With it being a 3,500lb axle it's probably a generic 3,500lb kit for the bearings and seals but I'd hate to not be 100% sure before ordering. Can you send me a picture of the axle tag sticker and I can look up the bearings and seals?

When replacing brake assemblies you should always replace both sides of the axle at the same time so for the brake assemblies you can go with the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-35 (manual-adjust) or # AKEBRK-35-SA (self-adjust). These kits would include both the right and left sides. To attach the wiring you'll need some 12-10 heat shrink butt connectors # DW05745-10. I've attached a video below where Dave will walk you through installing the brake assemblies.

For the hubs/drums we'll need to know your bearings and seals to confirm fitment.

***Update****

Got your pictures and was able to look up the components fit your axle. For the bearings you'll need # L44649 and # L68149 and for the grease seal # RG06-050. You can get these all together in a kit with part # BK2-100. You would need two kits per axle.

For the hubs/drums you'll need # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern or # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K if you have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. These both come with an ez-lube access grease cap. I've attached a video below where I'll go over how to install your new hubs.

Hey Dan, how did everything go with the new brake assemblies and Easy Grease hubs for your travel trailer? Were the videos helpful when you replaced both sides of the axle? Your update could make it easier for others working on a similar setup.
