Features to know about

Heavy Loads Made Simple: 10,000-lb Capacity Hub Built for Strength

This Dexter idler hub assembly is made for serious hauling. It’s rated for 10,000-lb axles and carries up to 5,000 lbs per hub. The sturdy iron build gives solid support and long-term durability under demanding loads. With a pilot hole diameter of 4-3/4" and an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern using 5/8" studs, it’s a proven setup for heavy-duty use.

Less Mess and Easy Maintenance: Oil Bath Lubrication System

Keeping bearings greased doesn’t have to be a chore. The oil bath design lets you see your lubricant level right through the clear oil cap—no need to pull the hub apart. A quick glance tells you when to top off, helping prevent dry bearings and extending service life without the mess of packing grease.

Everything Included for a Straightforward Install: Complete Hub Kit

No scavenger hunt for small parts. This assembly comes complete with inner bearing (395S) and race (394A), outer bearing (387A) and race (382A), oil seal (10-56, 3.125" ID / 4.50" OD), oil cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts—all ready to mount. Having everything in one box means less downtime and a simpler setup when replacing or upgrading hubs.

Built for Precision Fit: Matched Bearing and Seal Setup

Each component in this hub is engineered to work together with tight tolerances. The inner bearing bore is 2.625" and the outer is 2.250", perfectly matched to the included races and seal. This precision fit keeps the rotation smooth and helps reduce wear on both bearings and spindle over time.

Ready for Long Hauls: Reliable Dexter Construction

Dexter built this hub with durability in mind from the inside out. The iron construction holds up under constant use, while the oil bath system keeps friction down mile after mile. It’s a dependable foundation for trailers that need consistent performance on long trips or heavy workdays.

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"

You mentioned that you did not think that it was for a 10,000-pound axle. I wanted to ask if you could explain in more detail why you feel that it is not.

It is the wrong part....the hub is too big for my axle....I guess they make two different sizes for the 10000 lb axle....I need to swap it out....if we can determine you have the part I need in stock perhaps I can drive up there and swap it out.

Sorry it didnt work out for you William. The product page does go through the steps and measurements you need to take and have to verify the fitment of the product. If you went through these steps and you have something that is in the range that is listed we can work with you to rectify this situation.

Both bearings damaged in box. Box was not damaged.

  • Looking For Brake Shoes, Bearings And Seals For 2005 Featherlight Flatbed Trailer
    Hello Thorarinn, thanks for reaching out. I can certainly point you in the right direction, but there is no way for me to send you a parts list or bearing sizes based on the VIN. Trailer manufacturers just do not make this type of information available online. The only way to do that would be to reach out directly to the manufacturer of your trailer with the VIN, but this can sometimes be a headache. As far as the brake shoes, the best option here will be to replace the whole brake assembly....

  • How to Convert Dexter 10k Drum Brakes to Electric Over Hydraulic Disc
    We have just what you would need. For idler hubs you would first need to start with the part # 8-214-5UC1 (if you don't have these already) and then to install a disc brake kit specifically for these hubs you would need the part # K2R1058D11 for each axle. This is a Dexter 10k oil bath setup just like what you have. For an electric over hydraulic drum actuator for your trailer you would want the part # HBA16-252-82. That comes with everything electronically. For a 30 foot long tandem...

  • Upgrading 2017 Kaufman 25K Gooseneck Trailer from Electric Drum Brakes to EOH Disc Brakes
    Hey Jeremy! To control your brakes, I recommend the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS381-8067 and the Brake Line Kit # HS496-252. You'll connect your 7-Way wiring and breakaway kit to the actuator and the brake line kit will replace the brake wiring on your trailer. We also need to swap out your drum brakes to the disc brakes. From what I can find, I believe you need the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 10,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Oil Bath...

  • Complete Disc Brake Conversion Kit For A Tandem 10,000 Pound Dexter Axle
    Though we do not sell complete conversion kits with all the necessary parts to convert to disc brakes, we do have all the parts to put it together for your 10,000 pound Dexter axle we have a couple options. The first option is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E. This kit is designed for Dexter axles with oil bath hubs that are made after May 2013. The second option is the # K2R1058D11HD. This kit is made for axles prior to 2009. Both systems mentioned are slip-on-over-the-hub rotors....

  • Availability of Spindle and Hubs for 10,000 lb Trailer Axle
    As you may have noticed, the highest capacity spindle we carry is for a 7,000 lb axle, # TRU37FR. Your best bet is to source the spindles for a 10,000 lb axle through a local trailer shop or dealer. If are able to source the spindles, we do have hubs for 10,000 lb axles. I'll list them below: # 8-430-5UC3 - Dexter Hub Drum for 9K to 10K axles manufactured after July 2009 (for non ABS brakes) - uses inner bearing # 387A, outer bearing # 25580 and oil seal # 10-51 # K08-288-90 - Dexter...

  • Disc Brake Availability for 10,000 lb Dexter Torsion Axles
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D13 looks like it is exactly what you are needing. It is compatible with 10,000 lbs Dexter torsion axles, 17-1/2 inch wheels, and a hydraulic system. It does require a psi rating of 1,500 so as long as your EOH actuator can give that much output this is a viable option. To finish confirming that this kit will work great for your application you will just need to make sure that you have a 7 bolt brake mounting flange location and that your current wheels...

  • Technical Drawing for Dexter Hub Assembly # 8-214-5
    I spoke with my contact at Dexter and was able to obtain the technical drawing for the Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-214-5. Keep in mind that this hub was designed to fit a spindle from a 10K Dexter axle. I have attached this drawing for you. We do offer part # 8-214-5UC1 which includes the trailer hub assembly, lug nuts, inner bearing ( # 395S ) and race, outer bearing ( # 387A ) and race, oil seal and cap. These are designed to fit 10,000-lb axles with spindles that require a 3-1/4" ID grease...

  • Switching My Electric Drum Brakes to Hydraulic Drum Brakes on Dexter 10k Axles
    We carry disc brake kits for the Dexter 10K Standard Duty axle. Unfortunately, there is no disc brake kit available through our venders that fits the Dexter 10K Heavy Duty Axle. You could upgrade to a hydraulic drum brake system from your electric drum brakes. You will need Dexter Left Hand Hydraulic Brake Assembly # 23-404 and the Right Hand Brake Assembly # 23-405. If your drums need to be replaced, you will need Brake Drum Assembly # 9-27-1. You can remove your hubs off your current...

  • Replacement Hub and Drum for Dexter 10K Axles with 008-214-05 Hubs
    The hub you need is # 8-214-5UC1. Since it is separate from the drum you would not need to replace both unless it is time to replace the drum as well if it is worn or damage. If it is then the drum part is # 9-27-1. We also have the mounting bolt for this hub assembly, # 7-103.

  • Trailer Wheel Compatibility with 5/8 Inch Bolts on Dexter 10,000 lb Axle
    When moving from the dual wheels on your Dexter 10K axle, you may want to consider the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 10,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Oil Bath # 8-214-5UC1 as a replacement. This does have the 5/8 bolts you mentioned. The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA55VR has lug bolt holes that are beveled so they will not be compatible. We don't have any 16-inch or 16-1/2 wheels that will work.

  • Brakes and Hub and Drum Assembly Replacement for Dexter 10K Axles
    It sounds like you have 10K axles, in which you can use the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting # 23-439 for the right hand side, and # 23-438 for the left hand side. For brake drums / hub assembly you can use the Dexter Trailer Brake Drum for 10,000-lb Axles # 9-27-1 with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 10,000-lb Axles # 8-214-5UC1.

  • Correct Oil Seal for Dexter 10K 8-214-5UC1 Hub/9-27 Brake Drum
    The 9-27 (it's 9-27-1, actually) brake drum is part of a 2 piece hub/drum that uses # 8-214-5UC1 for the oil bath hub assembly. The correct oil seal is part # 10-56. The seal has an OD of 4.5 inches, and an ID of 3.125 inches. The # 10-63 you'd mentioned is too small, as its typically used with 8K capacity axles, so it wouldn't be compatible.

  • How to Choose the Correct Spindle for the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-214-5UC1
    We do carry the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-214-5UC1 which is an oil bath assembly for a 10,000 lb axle, but unfortunately we do not carry a spindle that is compatible with it. You would need to source that elsewhere, but I can give you some information so that you can be sure to get the correct spindle. If you look at the linked photo you will notice the highlighted B, C, and D spots. On the spindle that you purchase you need to make sure that B, where your seal sites, measures...

    While there is not an all inclusive kit with everything you need to convert to disk brakes, we do have the necessary parts to put it all together. For a 10,000 lb Dexter axle there are two options. One is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E which is designed for Dexter axles with oil bath hubs made after May 2013 and the other is the # K2R1058D11HD for those made prior to 2009.

  • Will the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit Part # K2R1058D11 Fit a Dexter 10k General Duty Axle
    Yes, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2R1058D11 will work with your Dexter general duty 10,000 lb axles as long as you have an 395S inner bearing (2.625" inner diameter) and 387A outer bearing (2.250" inner diameter). These brakes are only compatible with a specific type of hub which is the two piece Dexter 8-288. If you also need the hub then you can use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-214-5UC1. I have attached a review video of the hub for you as well.

  • Recommendation For Spindle With Biggest Capacity That Fits Dexter Hub Assembly - Item # 8-214-5UC1
    The biggest spindle we have in stock is a 3,500-lb axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles, Item # T3584F-8974. Unfortunately we do not carry a spindle that is compatible with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, Item # 8-214-5UC1. This hub works with 10,000-lb capacity axles. You would need to source that elsewhere with an axle shop/company that carries the larger capacity axles.
