When you’re restoring or upgrading your trailer, this Dexter hub-and-drum assembly gives you the right foundation for safe, smooth stops. It’s built for 2,000-lb trailer axles with BTR spindles and works with 7" × 1-1/4" brake assemblies. The sturdy iron drum provides a clean braking surface while the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" wheel bolts keep things compatible with common 12" – 15" wheels. Each hub is rated at 1,000 lbs, making it a reliable match for light-duty trailers that still need dependable braking power.
There’s no guessing what to order or hunting for extra parts. This assembly includes both inner and outer bearings (L44649), matching races (L44610), a 10-9 grease seal (1.500" ID × 1.987" OD), grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. Everything fits together as it should, so you can swap out an old or damaged hub and get back on the road without chasing separate components.
Dexter’s iron hub and drum are known for their strength and consistent machining. The solid construction helps resist heat and wear, and the precise bearing surfaces keep things running smooth mile after mile. Users have described these hubs as “solid, well built, perfect match,” a good sign for anyone looking for a direct-fit replacement that installs easily and performs like OEM.
This hub is made specifically for electric brake setups, giving you the right clearances and surfaces for proper magnet and shoe contact. Once greased and torqued down to spec—75 to 85 ft-lbs for the 1/2" lug nuts—you’re ready to roll with a system that stops straight and stays quiet. It’s a simple, durable solution that restores your braking system to full strength and keeps your trailer tracking true.
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"

If the wheel studs werent bent from hitting a pothole or road debris, Id recommend checking the loaded weight of the trailer to ensure the axle isnt overloaded.
