When you’re hauling serious weight, you need braking components that can take it. This Dexter hub-and-drum assembly is built for 5,200- to 7,000-lb E-Z Lube axles and designed to handle a 3,500-lb load per hub. The 12" x 2" drum provides solid surface area for your brake shoes, delivering steady, reliable braking whether you’re running electric or hydraulic systems. With sturdy iron construction and an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, it’s a rugged fit for heavy-duty use day after day.
Keeping bearings lubricated shouldn’t mean tearing everything apart. The grease cap on this hub works with Dexter’s E-Z Lube spindles, letting you add fresh grease through the zerk fitting without disassembly. Pop out the rubber plug, connect your grease gun, and pump it in—it flows directly to both inner and outer bearings. That easy access helps prevent corrosion and keeps the hub running smooth for the long haul.
This hub comes pre-greased and ready to go, saving you the time and mess of hand-packing bearings. The inner bearing (25580) and race, outer bearing (14125A) and race, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts are all included and already in place. Just slide it onto your #42 spindle and torque it down—it’s that straightforward.
Tight tolerances mean smooth operation and long life. The included components—inner bearing 25580 (1.75" ID), outer bearing 14125A (1.25" ID), inner race 25520, outer race 14276, and double-lip grease seal GS-2250DL (2.25" ID, 3.376" OD)—are matched to work perfectly together. Each part seats precisely for proper load distribution and minimal wear, giving you confidence every time you tow.
Dexter’s cast-iron hub and drum withstand repeated braking heat cycles and heavy use without warping. The material holds up under load and resists scoring for consistent braking performance. When you need a durable, serviceable hub-and-drum assembly that’s easy to maintain and built for years of work, this one gets the job done.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Ratings & Reviews
Works as needed. Only issue is getting grease caps on, frustrating installing these.
These hubs are way beefier than the later versions sold at Funtown RV and cheeper.
Everything I needed I found at etrailer and everything fit perfectly!! Customer service was excellent!!
Pulled right from the box and slapped it on. Multiple options for dust cover and locking the nut on the spindle which is nice. Now I have options. Like the multiple washers and nuts for multiple different axle types. Liked the Dexter made in USA. Everything was great will buy again.
Everything is intact, already packed. Just gives peace of mind to have extra drum with the bearings.
Great product and exact replacement for our 42ft Keystone Montana High Country 375FL.
Fast shipping and correct part is extremely important as we are full time RVers and with limited time.
I've ordered several items over the years and always received great service.
Five star. shipping was slow. Product was great 14 K 14 plies under 2000 pounds independent suspension. Low fast and sassy. Yep that’s how I build them.
Dexter assy.(or a darn good dup) all needed keepers nuts and pin included. Well greased. Will purchase again
Another low cost & perfect order. If you’re NOT using these guys for all your trailer needs, you’re wasting your time and money
Thanks so much etrailer for making me feel so much better/safer about carrying heavier loads in my trailer. Katrina also went the extra mile when it came to customer service and patience with my order. I had 15" six lug hub and drum assembly which held all I could load on them, like I said I just did not feel safe so I went with this hub and drum assembly which came with all necessary items for the install, and it allowed me to put 16" tires with a heavier weight rating. Very pleased.
I got them in on time I had to go with these more expensive ones otherwise I would’ve had to wait until August to get the other ones I wanted. I think the only difference are it’s got washers and nut. otherwise, it would have got a five star.
Good quality and well made. Easy installation and it was a perfect replacement.
Good product, need to ensure dust cap stays place!
The packaging was damaged on one, dessicant had entered the bearing area. But once I cleaned it all out and regreased it, it was great.
Easy installation over new brakes. Exact replacement.
This is the second one I bought, I like that they’re is no greasing involved.everything you need to finish the job.the bearings are packed and ready to go. The people at etrailer will make sure you get the right parts. I’ve got a lot of parts from them and never have been disappointed.
Fast shipping and easy install. The protective grease covers popped off in shipping so did not do what they were designed to due. Had to clean the hub up.
Grease cap damaged/unusable and this like dexter item dimensions are all different. So long as the wheels line up and the drum contacts the brakes pad properly I’ll let it ride. And the like new but missing parts drum is damaged and the bearing race is not seated
Great product but the packaging is not good enough for the weight of the drums. 2 of the 4 boxes were missing the hardware. They need to be double boxed. I was able to reuse the original hardware. Dexter makes quality products.
Installed easily and nicely greased. Only issue is that the hubcaps are slightly oversized and one was actually oblong in shape. I used the caps from the old hubs since I dented the new caps trying to install them.
Good product. Really like the install and go idea. I had 2 issues with new hub on my trailer. One, once the axle nut was installed, with the washer provided or my old washer, the cut out for cotter key on nut didn't line up with cotter key hole on axle. If I went
to next opening, way too tight, if I went out, way too loose. I ended up using a thin washer and that worked great. Second issue, the dust cap. I have put many many dust caps on in the past, but this thing was near impossible. It was the solid one provided. Ended up denting it trying.
I then tried the hole in the center one provided, Same thing. Would not not fit easily. I finally did get solid one in but it's all dented up! Wouldn't hurt my feelings if you could send me a new solid style dust cap? Overall good purchase and e-trailer in general is an awesome place to purchase trailer stuff!!! Thanks for your continued professionalism!
The hubs fit good, easy install. Been a year now and prob have put 400 miles on my Heartland Cyclone triple axle with all 6 hubs being replaced at once
Good job etrailer on shipping! Got them out to me fast. Hub and drum assembly worked as advertised. Took about 2 hrs to put break assembly and hub assembly on per axel. They came assembly with grease one of them looked like it had just the bear minimum amount, to me that was nothing just put alittle more that's all.
The delivered product was wrong and the customer service (including supervisor) was horrendous. Multiple weeks in our peak concrete season were lost, while we had the back and forth necessary to receive the correct parts. Even after sending detailed pictures, illustrating the differences between the parts ordered and those received, we were sent the wrong parts as replacements for the initial order. The right parts were sent, only after we contacted the manufacturer.
OEM is the best way to go. Dexter hub and drum assembly comes with ever think you need to get you axle back to new. I replaced the brakes the drum by only having to order 2 parts and it made it fast and easy to do.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Hubs and Drum?
