Question:
I have a customer wanting to add brakes to a trailer axel. Here are the bearing and seal numbers BEARING LM48548 BEARING LM67048/Q SEAL 1716 I am wondering what hub /drum / brake and brake mounting flange I could use to do this.

Hey Eric, thanks for reaching out!
The closest thing I can find to what you're needing is the 4.4K Hub and Drum # 8-407-5UC3-EZ which uses bearings that match the ID of the bearings you listed, and it has a grease seal with a 1.719" ID. Does that sound about right?
If this is the case, then you'll need the Brake Kit # LC66WD if it's a Lippert axle, or the Brake Kit # K23-478-479 if it's from Dexter Axle.
If these parts don't look like they will work out then you'll need to custom order specific parts from Dexter Axle or Lippert.
