LUXTRKSTO Trailer Hub Kit 5x4.5 for 3500 lb Trailers — 1-1/16 to 1-3/8 in Tapered Axles, Pre-Lubricated

LUXTRKSTO 5x4.5 Trailer Hub Kit is a complete, pre-lubricated 3500 lb hub assembly designed for 1-1/16" to 1-3/8" tapered axles, supplied with bearings, seals, nuts, dust caps and all mounting hardware for fast replacement.

This hub kit brings together everything needed to restore or upgrade one axle end for trailers rated up to 3,500 pounds. Built to fit 5-on-4.5" bolt patterns and compatible with L44649 outer bearings and L68149 inner bearings, the assembly arrives pre-assembled and pre-lubricated to shorten installation time and reduce maintenance before first use. Components are carbon steel with protective paint to resist corrosion and meet US G3000 standards for durability.

How do I confirm this hub fits my trailer axle?

Check two dimensions: the bolt pattern and the spindle size. The kit is for a 5-lug, 4.5" bolt circle and for tapered axles sized 1-1/16" to 1-3/8". Verify bearing part numbers to ensure correct fit.

• Measure lug pattern from the outermost point of one hole to the center of the opposite hole (5x4.5" pattern).
• Confirm your spindle diameter is between 1-1/16" and 1-3/8" (tapered fit).
• Match inner/outer bearing numbers: L68149 (inner) and L44649 (outer).

What comes in the box and what’s pre-installed?

The kit is shipped as a full, ready-to-install hub assembly including bearings, seals, nuts and dust caps. Bearings are already greased and seated to minimize preparation prior to mounting. The package supplies hardware for both sides of one axle.

• 2 x 3500 lb 5x4.5 hubs (one per wheel end)
• 2 x L68149 inner bearings and 2 x L44649 outer bearings
• 2 x grease seals, 2 x spindle nuts, 2 x washers, 2 x dust caps with rubber plugs
• 10 x 1/2"-20 lug nuts and 2 x 2.3" cotter pins

How durable and maintenance-friendly is this hub kit?

Materials and finishes are chosen for longevity under towing conditions: carbon steel construction, surface paint for corrosion resistance, and sealed bearings to limit contamination. Pre-lubricated bearings reduce initial wear and the grease seal design helps prevent leaks, so the hub performs reliably when installed correctly.

• Carbon steel hubs meet US G3000 durability expectations.
• Protective paint finish resists rust and road corrosion.
• Thick grease seals and pre-lubricated bearings reduce maintenance needs.

How easy is installation for a DIYer or technician?

The kit is built for straightforward swap-outs: components arrive pre-assembled, so you avoid lengthy bearing packing and part hunting. Minor axle preparation—such as lightly tapering the dust cap OD to match the spindle—may be necessary for a snug fit. Follow torque specs and cotter pin placement for safety.

• No bearing packing required; bearings come pre-lubricated.
• Most installations require basic hand tools and common axle jacking procedures.
• Includes all mounting hardware to eliminate extra trips to the parts store.
