Features to know about
Reliable Stopping Power for Hydraulic Systems: Built for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles
This Dexter hub-and-drum assembly gives you the braking surface your hydraulic system needs to grab and hold steady. It fits 2,000-lb E-Z Lube trailer axles with BTR spindles and works with 7" hydraulic drum brakes. The drum measures 7" diameter x 1-3/4" wide, built from sturdy iron for dependable performance. With a 1,000-lb capacity per hub, it’s sized right for light-duty setups that still demand solid braking control.
Less Mess, More Miles: E-Z Lube Grease Cap Makes Maintenance Simple
Keeping bearings lubed shouldn’t mean tearing the hub apart. The E-Z Lube-compatible grease cap on this assembly lets you inject fresh grease directly through the zerk fitting on the spindle—just pop out the rubber plug and pump. It pushes grease through to both inner and outer L44649 bearings, keeping them protected and helping to prevent corrosion over time.
Straightforward Setup: All Bearings, Races, and Hardware Included
Everything you need to mount it up comes in the box—inner and outer L44649 bearings, L44610 races, a 10-9 grease seal (1.5" ID x 1.987" OD), grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. That means no hunting down small parts or guessing what fits. With a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" wheel bolts, it installs cleanly and gets you rolling again fast.
Built to Last: Durable Iron Hub and Drum Construction
The iron hub and drum stand up to repeated braking cycles and high temperatures without warping or cracking. That durability matters whether you’re maintaining an older trailer, upgrading from a smaller lug pattern, or keeping a spare ready for a roadside swap. Once installed, it delivers smooth, predictable braking you can count on trip after trip.

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.
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"

I found all the parts I needed at etrailer.com to restore the hydraulic brake system on an old snow mobile trailer. I received great phone help and the pricing was good. Free shipping and I had the parts within a few days. I would order here again!

I have to say that I have not used the pieces yet. However !! This started with a phone call that I made to Etrailer and spoke with James. He was extremely pleasant, helpful, and got me what I needed. And. He convinced me to buy a couple of tires.. Which I needed. Great place to work with. On the Web, or on the phone.

Overall good experience. They say anyone can do a good job when everything goes well but not so much when things don't. There was a damaged part and an incorrect part in the shipment. Greg and Nicole got the replacements right out so I was able to get my trailer ready to roll. I am ready for the summer, thanks!

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Replacement Hub/Drum For Dexter 8-271 With 5 Bolt Mounting PatternWe do have the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for Standard # 8-271-7UC3 or EZ Lube # 8-271-7UC3-EZ axles. These are the 8-271 hubs you have with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. These fit on a 1-1/16" diameter BTR spindle. They include all the bearings, races, seal, lug nuts and grease cap. If you only have a 1" BT8 spindle you will need the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K. The easiest way to verify is by removing the hub castle nut and checking the part...
view full answer... - Adding DeeMaxx Hydraulic Brake To A 2024 Brinkley Z2900 5th WheelHello Darren. Thanks for reaching out, I can definitely help with this. To convert your 2024 Brinkley Z2900 5th wheel over to disc brakes, you will need a disc brake kit, a brake line kit, and electric over hydraulic actuator, and a breakaway kit for the trailer. Your tow vehicle will also need to be equipped with an electric trailer brake controller. If you want to go with DeeMaxx brakes, such as the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE68YR, this is definitely a good choice. Keep in mind this...
view full answer... - Brake Drum Recommendation for InTech Flyer Chase TrailerSince you have 2,200 Dexter axles and the Dexter brake assemblies # K23-103-104-00 and I can tell you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern the hub drums you'd need are the part # 8-271-7UC3-EZ. The last thing you'll need is 10 gauge wire that you'd run from the brake assemblies to the trailer connector with part # 10-1-1 which we offer by the foot.

- Why Are Dexter Drums 8-271-7UC3-EZ and 8-257-5UC3 So Different In Price?The reason for the price difference is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-271-7UC3-EZ are only compatible with hydraulic brakes, where the # 8-257-5UC3 are compatible with electric and hydraulic brakes. Since most people use electric trailer brakes on this size axle the # 8-257-5UC3 is the more popular choice. For compatible braking assemblies we have the Dexter Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit # 23-398-399 if you are wanting hydraulic brakes, or Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-2...
view full answer... - Will an 8 Inch Trailer Wheel Fit on Hubs for a 3,500 Pound AxleAre you using hub and drum assemblies or just regular hubs? If you are using hub and drum assemblies then to fit an 8 inch wheel they would have to be very small. We have just one hub and drum assembly that fits 8 inch wheels, # 8-271-7UC3-EZ, and it is for 2,000 pound EZ lube axles. Hub and drum assemblies for 3,500 pound axles are going to require 13 inch or larger wheels. It sounds like you are wanted to use an alternate tire size which requires a smaller wheel than what the hubs are...
view full answer... - Adding Brakes to Acme Car DollyWe don't offer parts specific for the Acme tow dolly, but we have the parts you'd need to add either electric or hydraulic drum brakes. I'm assuming your tow dolly doesn't currently have brakes, and that your current hubs use the # L44649 as the inner and outer wheel bearing. If that's the case, to add electric brakes, you'd need the following parts: # 8-257-5UC3-EZ hub drum for EZ lube spindle or # 8-257-5UC3 for standard spindles # 23-47 and # 23-48 electric brake assemblies # H20044...
view full answer... - Replacement Race to Go with a L44649 BearingSounds like you are talking about the races of your hub, the reason your local store doesn't want to sell you them is because they are pretty difficult to install without damaging the hub. You would want to have them professionally installed. The correct race for the L44649 bearing is the part # L44610. This has an outer diameter of 1.980.
view full answer... - Hub and Drum and Bearing Kit to go with 7 x 1-3/4 Inch Hydraulic Brake Assembly 23-399I believe that in the question you are referring to the 1.64 measurement is on the brake mounting flange, # 4-34. The center hole of the brake assembly, # 23-399, is larger than this and that is normal so it doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about for that. The matching left hand brake assembly is # 23-398. For a hub and drum assembly you can use # 8-276-5 which has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and you would use bearing kit # BK1-150. For a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you can use hub...
view full answer... - EZ-Lube Spindle for L44649 Bearing and 10-60 Grease SealOn the spindle # TRU44FR, the 1.25 inch refers to the diameter of the stub, not to any of the bearing surfaces, which might be what is confusing you. If you currently have the # 8-271-7UC3-EZ hubs that use the L44649 inner and outer bearing, the # TRU44FR would be the compatible EZ Lube spindle. Part # BK1-150 would be the correct bearing/ seal kit that uses the double-lip seal which we recommend for the EZ-Lube spindles. For your hub bore, you would use the grease cap # DC200L-DCRP. Instead...

- Upgrading to a 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern On Dexter #9 2,200 Lb AxleIt sounds like you may have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and want to switch to a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern to use larger wheels. If that is the case then the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-271-7UC3-EZ has the bolt pattern you're after and will work on a 2,200 lb axle. That said, it will limit the wheel size to 12" due to the hub surface. I recommend the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel part # AM31199DX. Unfortunately, you won't be able to install...
