I sure can Bob and thanks for the information! Since you have a Lippert 3,500 lbs axle you'll be able to use the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles item #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K, you were looking at. These have a 5 on 4-1/2 lug nut…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

If your trailer has 7 wires running all the way back to the brakes, then yes, you can tap into the existing wiring. Each of your new brakes will have two wires for the brake magnet. One wire is for 12 volt power to the brake magnets and the other…

I'm not sure which brake adjustment tool you have but on our PT #W80630 there are two sides that can be used. The end with the 90 degree bend is designed for adjusting electric brakes on drop axles like yours, which will allow you to access that…

In order to find the correct replacement hubs for your Shoreland'r boat trailer, you need to first know what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the…

The spring seats on an axle can be moved and this is a whole heck of a lot cheaper than going with a custom axle which is your other option so that's what I recommend. I'm not sure what capacity you need but I have attached some options…

To replace your AL-KO seal part 363497 you can use the double-lip seal set #RG06-070. These have an inner diameter of 2.250-inches (to match your spindle diameter) and an outer diameter of 3.376-inches (to match the bore on your 12 x 2-inch hub/drum…
