Now this hub and drum assembly is designed to work on 3500 lb axles that are equipped with the E-Z lube spindles. It uses a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. We count our 5 lugs there, 5 studs and then we measure from the center of one stud to the center of the closes and we get 3 inches which tells us that this is a 5 on 5 pattern. Included with the drum assembly youll find the races already pressed into place inside the bore, your five conical lug nuts, a grease cap with a removable rubber plug so you can quickly access the grease zerk on the end of your spindle, a 10-19 seal and your inner and outer bearings. Your inner bearing is number L68149 and the outer bearing is L44649.more

Dexter Trailer Hubs and Drums 8-257-5UC3-EZ Review- Video
Today were going to review part number 8-257-5UC3-EZ. This is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2000 lb axles with electric brakes. This part does come with the inner and outer bearings, in this case it will be the same part number, L44649. It comes with the part number 10-9 grease seal. It comes with the five 1/2-inch cone seat lug nuts and the E-Z lube grease cap that fits on the outer edge of your hub there. And the reason this is an E-Z lube grease cap is because the center is actually a rubber plug that can be removed to gain access to the zerk fitting when you grease your spindle.more

This Old Trailer: Electric Trailer Brake Installation Part 1- Video
Alright, today on This Old Trailer, what we are going to do is install electric brakes. Right now this trailer does not have any brakes on it whatsoever, so it has two drag axles. So the first thing that we need to do is go ahead and take off the rear wheels. And then we will go ahead and take off the hubs. At this point we will take off the dust cap on our axle. And basically what you want to do is on this particular unit we have an E-Z Lube cap, so it fits kind of tight. It is a good idea to go ahead and rotate the hub and lightly strike it and then I will just back it off with a screw driver behind the flange. And then pry it off. Alright, let us wipe off the excess grease on the end of the spindle here and we will get to our tang washer. And we will release it so we can back off the castle nut. Alright, we have it cleaned up a little bit. Now right here, this is the tab I was talking about. That is our tang washer. Take this. Push it down flat to the flat spot on our spindle and then you can take the castle nut off. 1:07more

Once you have that lock washer off, just go ahead and take off the nut and pull your whole hub off. Now we are going to go ahead and inspect the hub and bearings here.more

Remove and Reinstall a Trailer Hub Review- Video
First off, we will take off the hub, then take off the nut on the inside, and we will pop the whole hub off and take it to the workbench and clean it up from there. You can see there is a lot of rust in there, there is a lot of condensation. Basically water got in there through either condensation or a seal leak. We definitely need to take it apart and clean it up. This has whats called a tang washer. Instead of a regular cotter pin that goes up and down, it has a little piece of metal that goes between the notches here and you have to push this back, flat, so you can take off the nut. And the whole thing just slides off. Sometimes if it gets caught on the hub here you can beat it to get it to come loose. We will go ahead and clean this spindle off here, and then we will put our hub back on. Give it a test fit first to make sure it all slides on pretty good and then go ahead and take it back off. What is good is to take a thin layer, it doesnt have to be much just a little bit, to kind of help the parts slide on a little bit more than they used to. more

Remove, Inspect, and Reinstall Trailer Bearings, Race, and Seals Demonstration- Video
This seal has to come out. Every time you pack the bearings you have to destroy a seal and put a new one in, its just the way works. There are actually two different ways of doing it, I know that there is a special tool for it, I dont have it, most people dont. What I like to do is take a punch and push this in a little bit, or actually make a hole in it, so it pulls the seal away from the edge where you can stick a screwdriver in there, tap it in a few times and pop it out. It is a little bit less stressful on the bearing. The other way of doing it, if you dont have that, is to take a wooden stake or something like the handle of this and go in though there and beat it out that way. It puts a lot of wear and tear on the bearing, but its another way of doing it. I dont know if you can see there or not how I punched it in and it brought the seal away from the edge. And that is where we will try to work in our screwdriver. There we go. more
