Hello Richard,

I am sorry we did not get to your question sooner, but the great news is that you already found exactly what you are looking for!

The Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the correct replacement for your Lippert 3,500 pound axle. It has the 10" drum and 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you need. I also really like that it comes pre-greased with the bearings and seal already installed, so there is a lot less mess and work when you put everything together.

Just for future reference, if you ever need to replace the brakes, you will want the etrailer Self-Adjusting Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-35-SA. These are the matching 10" brake assemblies for 3,500 lb axles and come with both the driver and passenger side.

If you ever just need to repack or replace the bearings and seals instead of replacing the entire hub, you will want the Trailer Wheel Bearing Kit # BK2-100. For grease, we like to use the LubriMatic Prime Guard High Temperature Wheel Bearing Grease # L11380.

Hopefully that gives you all the part numbers you will need to keep handy for the next time you are doing some trailer maintenance!

Getting things geared up and ready for the next adventure? Where are you headed to next?
