Features to know about

Direct Replacement for Hard-to-Find Setups: Fits 6,000-lb and 7,000-lb Axles

If you’ve got an older trailer or one that uses a 5-spoke utility wheel, you know how tough it can be to find the right hub. This Dexter hub-and-drum assembly is built specifically for 6,000-lb to 7,000-lb axles and uses the uncommon 5-spoke utility bolt pattern. It’s a direct match to setups using inner bearing 25580 (1.75" inner diameter) and outer bearing 15123 (1.25" inner diameter), so it drops right onto compatible spindles without modification.

Reliable Braking Surface: 12" Drum Works with Electric or Hydraulic Systems

When every stop counts, you need a smooth, even surface for your brake shoes to grip. This 12" diameter x 2" wide hub-and-drum assembly gives your brakes solid contact area for consistent stopping power. It’s compatible with both electric and hydraulic drum brakes, so you can keep your existing system or upgrade later without having to change hubs.

Complete Setup in One Box: Bearings, Races, Seal, Studs, and Lug Nuts Included

This assembly comes ready for installation with everything you need—bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. You won’t have to hunt for missing pieces or reuse worn hardware. The 9/16" wheel studs and matching lug nuts thread in solidly, giving you a secure connection to your 5-spoke utility wheel.

Built for Strength and Long Life: Sturdy Iron Construction

Made from durable iron, the hub and drum stand up to heavy use and high heat from braking. Each hub carries a 3,500-lb capacity, providing dependable performance under load. It’s a tough, long-lasting choice for keeping your trailer rolling smoothly and braking safely mile after mile.

Determining Bolt Pattern

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.

Center to Center
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).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

We do have the spindle nut for the one inch spindle as separate part, part # 165686. The matching washer would be part # SW1000.



by:

The parts were all the right ones and most were Dexter oem parts. The only problem I had was putting the bolts in the frame end of the spring perch. It was easier to take the spring loose from the axle, put the bolt in ,then bolt it back to the axle. I intend to buy all of my future trailer parts from etrailer.

  • Parts to Convert 5-Spoke Utility Hub to Modern Style Hub on 10K Trailer
    Thank you for reaching out! It looks like your Dexter Axle uses the 5 Spoke Utility Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-174-5UC3 so to replace that and your brakes you need the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K as well as the 12" Self-Adjusting Electric Brakes # TRU96FR. These will be exact fits for your system but the hub and drum kit comes with a slightly larger grease seal so you need the Replacement Grease Seal Set # RG06-090 for each axle on your trailer.

  • Can 7-14.5 Tires Be Upgraded to 8-14.5 Tires for Utility Trailer
    The 8-14.5 tires will be 1" wider than your current 7-14.5 tires so you'll be losing 1/2" of sidewall clearance to your fender. I recommend having at least 1" of clearance to the sidewall so it would be best to stick with 7-14.5 tires for your application. If you do end up going with the 8-14.5 tires you'll want to use the same wheels you currently have because those wheels are pretty unique to the 5-Spoke Utility Hub # 8-174-5UC3 your trailer uses.

  • Lug Nut Size for 7,000 lb Trailer with 5-Bolt Pattern Hub and Drum Assemblies
    If you're trailer has an overall weight capacity of 7,000 lbs this likely means you have a tandem axle trailer and hub and drums with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern like part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. If this is the case then it is very likely that you have need 1/2" lug nuts like part # CE11051. Should you have a older 7,000 lb axle with a 5 bolt pattern then you likely have something like the hub and drum assembly # 8-174-5UC3 which uses 9/16" bolts so you'd need a lug nut like part # 6-53 for...

  • Replacement Axle, Brake Assemblies, And Hubs And Drums For M1101 Trailer
    Based on my research your M1101 trailer has a GVWR of around 3400lbs, so for a replacement axle I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS01 which will bolt to the frame of your trailer and replace your current axle and suspension setup. The # ASR35HDS01 is designed for wide off-road tires meaning it would give you the extra clearance you need to run the typical wide off-road tires found on...

  • Would the Hub and Drum # 8-174-5UC3 Fit My Mobile Home Axle
    Typically mobile home axles use spindles that are very hard to fit hub/drums to because they are designed for one time use. To determine if the # 8-174-5UC3 would fit you would need to remove your current hubs and get some exact measurement of the spindle. Where the seal rides needs to be 2-1/8 or 2-1/4 inches in diameter. Where the inner bearing rides needs to be 1.750 inches and where the outer bearing rides needs to be 1.25 inches. If all of these measurements check out the # 8-174-5UC3...

  • Can Mobile Home Axles Have Hubs Replaced
    Hey Greg, this question comes up quite a bit and the unfortunate answer is that mobile home axles are designed for one time use and there aren't current parts available to replace on them. Best solution is just replacing the axles if you need new hubs etc. Is that an option?

  • What Information is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Hub for Trailer Axle
    Hey Anthony, welcome back! What you will want to get is the diameter of the spindles where the bearings and seal ride or the bearing numbers out of the hub and that would be all that's needed to see if there is a modern hub that will work in place of it. If the axle was made before the mid to late 90's though the likelihood of there being a replacement available is quite a bit lower. Do you know what size and bolt pattern wheel you'd like to go to as well? I also attached a help article...

  • Brake Flange To Fit 12" X 2" Brake Assemblies On an Old Utility Trailer Axle
    Chris, I am unaware of any 12x2 brake assemblies which have a 7" bolt pattern spread. We do have the Brake Flange # 4-44-1 you can have welded onto your axle so you can use the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-7-SA.

  • Solution for Needing Replacement Hub for Mobile Home Axle
    Hey Keith, the Dexter 8-222 model hubs currently on your trailer are designed primarily for mobile home use, and these types of hubs typically use unique bearing combinations that make it really difficult to find full replacement assemblies. Mobile home parts like these are really only manufactured for one time use so replacements aren't usually available. Only option really is to replace the axle as it won't be possible get standard trailer axle components that will fit your axle. To...

  • Standard Style of Trailer Hub To Replace Dexter 8-174 on Mobile Home Axle
    We have the part # 8-174-5UC3 which is an exact replacement for your hub, for a more standard style of hub/drum that will fit the spindle you instead would want the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which has the very common bolt pattern of 6 on 5-1/2 inch.

  • Replacement Hubs for a Hudson Bros. Trailer with 5-Spoke Utility Hubs
    Dexter hub # 8-174-5UC3 uses the 5-spoke utility bolt pattern so it is uncommon just like the hub you have. If your existing hub uses inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 15123 with a seal inner diameter of 2-1/8 inches then this hub is a likely fit. The bearing numbers and seal are key.

I do not have any 5 lug replacements using these bearings, but I do have a 6 on 5-1/2 that will work # AKHD-655-6-K. You won't need to grab any lugs or caps as they come with them but you will need tires and wheels. Here are some radial tires and wheels that will work with your new assembly # AM32680.

To measure your axle from hub face to hub face with this (or any other axle) you will measure from the base of the hub on one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite hub.

This hub can be purchased with the standard hub assembly # 8-213-5UC1 or the E-Z Lube axle hub assembly # 8-213-5UC1-EZ. Your bearing combination indicates that your axle capacity is 5,200 lbs.

  • Replacing Wheels on a Trailer with 5 Spoke Utility Hubs and 8-14.5 Size Tires
    What you have on your trailer is called a 5 spoke utility hub, like part # 8-174-5UC3. They're pretty common on mobile homes so I'm guessing this is where your axle came from. This is also evidenced by your 8-14.5 tires since they're often on mobile homes as well. In order to replace the rims with a different bolt pattern you need to replace the hubs. Mobile home axles are often hard to find replacement parts for so there may not be anything available without replaing the entire axle....

If that is the case then you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-655-6-K and the 10-10 Grease or Oil Double-Lip Seals part # RG06-090 to switch to a more common 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.

This hub does not include the bearings, races and seals which are available as part # BK3-110. Each kit contains 1 inner and outer bearing, 1 inner and outer race, the grease seal and the cotter pin.
