When you’re pulling serious weight, you want a hub and drum that can handle it without hesitation. This Dexter trailer hub-and-drum assembly fits 7,000-lb E-Z Lube axles with #42 spindles and pairs with both electric and hydraulic drum brakes for dependable stopping power. It’s built from sturdy iron to stand up to heavy loads and hard use, with 12" x 2" drums that work with 16" to 17-1/2" wheels and an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. Each hub supports 3,500 lbs, giving you a solid foundation for your trailer setup.
Greasing bearings doesn’t have to be a teardown job. The included grease cap is designed for Dexter’s E-Z Lube axles, so you can add grease straight through the zerk fitting on the spindle without pulling the hub apart. Pop out the rubber plug, connect your grease gun, and the new grease flows through to both inner and outer bearings. It’s a simple way to keep the bearings protected and the hub corrosion-free with far less time in the mess.
This assembly comes with everything needed to mount it right out of the box. The inner bearing (25580) and race (25520), outer bearing (14125A) and race (14276), grease seal (GS-2250DL), grease cap, 9/16"-18 wheel studs, and 90-degree cone nuts are all included. The races are already pressed in, so you can skip the extra prep work and go straight to installation. Every component is matched for proper fitment and performance on a 7K axle.
Whether you’re towing long distances or hauling heavy equipment, you need a hub that will hold up over time. The Dexter 8-219-18UC3 features a tough iron drum that provides a consistent braking surface for both electric and hydraulic systems. It’s engineered for smooth operation and long service life, giving you confidence that your brakes will keep working trip after trip.
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"

The 8-201-5UC3-EZ isn't pre-greased, and does indeed include a dust cap with a removable plug that allows access to the grease zerk on a ez-lube spindle.
