Saree 5-Lug 3500 lb Trailer Hub Kit, 2-Set 5x4.5 — Tapered Spindle Fit, Black Corrosion-Resistant

The Saree 2Sets 5-lug 3500lb trailer hub kit is a complete replacement hub assembly designed for 5x4.5 bolt patterns and 1-1/16" to 1-3/8" tapered spindles, supplied as two hubs with bearings, seals, dust caps, and lug nuts for boat or utility trailers.

If you need a robust, salt-tested hub set for trailers rated to 3,500 lb that fit common tapered spindles, this kit bundles the core components required for a dependable wheel end rebuild. It’s built to the US G3000 standard, coated to resist corrosion, and packaged to reduce shipping damage. Note: it fits tapered spindles only and does not include castle nuts or cotter pins.

How do I know this hub kit fits my trailer spindle?

This assembly is engineered for tapered spindles with outer cone bearing L44649 (I.D. 1-1/16") and inner cone bearing L68149 (I.D. 1-3/8"). Check your spindle type before ordering—straight spindles are not compatible. Measure the bearing inner diameters and confirm your bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5".

• Compatible bearings: L44649 (outer), L68149 (inner)
• Bolt pattern: 5×4.5 inches (5 on 4.5)
• Spindle types: tapered spindles only (not straight)
• Rated capacity: 3,500 lb axle hubs

What parts are included and what extra hardware is required?

The kit ships as two complete hubs plus bearings, seals, dust caps, and lug nuts—everything needed for most hub replacements except castle nuts and cotter pins. That makes installation faster while letting you reuse or select the correct spindle nut hardware for your axle setup.

• Included: 2 hub assemblies, 2 L44649 bearings, 2 L68149 bearings
• Included: 10 lug nuts (1/2"-20), 2 grease seals, 2 dust caps
• Not included: castle nuts, cotter pins—purchase as needed
• Ships in double-boxed protective packaging for transit safety

How does the kit perform in marine or corrosive environments?

Saree applies a corrosion-resistant black coating and the dust caps are galvanized; the parts pass a 96-hour salt spray test to improve resistance to rust. Bearings use high-quality steel and lug nuts are hardened to 10.9 to reduce failure risk under repeated towing loads.

• Black coated hubs resist surface corrosion and wear
• Galvanized dust caps protect bearing areas from moisture
• Lug nuts hardened to grade 10.9 for fracture resistance
• Bearing steel chosen for low noise and smooth rotation

What installation or maintenance tips should I follow?

Install on tapered spindles, torque lug nuts to manufacturer specs, and adjust bearings to the correct preload. Grease the bearings and replace seals if leaking; re-check torque after the first 50–100 miles and periodically thereafter for safe towing.

• Use recommended wheel bearing grease and fill hub appropriately
• Torque lug nuts to your vehicle or trailer manufacturer specs
• Check bearing adjustment and retorque after initial use
• Replace castle nuts and cotter pins if not reusing originals

Who is this for? If you own a boat or utility trailer with 3,500 lb axles and a tapered spindle using L44649/L68149 bearings, this Saree 2-set hub kit offers a cost-effective, corrosion-tested replacement that arrives ready for installation. It’s aimed at DIYers, mobile mechanics, and fleet owners who need durable hubs that match common Dexter, Al-Ko, Lippert and similar axle designs—just confirm your spindle type and bolt pattern before purchase.
