Hello Scott, thanks for reaching out and for your recent order. The # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K hubs you purchased use a Lithium Complex multi purpose grease. For topping them off I suggest using a similar lithium complex grease such as the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390. I have included our grease compatibility chart below for your reference.

Answer 7

Judging by your photo, your trailer would use an idler hub, not a hub drum. Assuming you have 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt circle wheels that use an #L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing, you have a few choices. Rather than the painted hub, I'd…
