When you want smoother and safer stops, this Dexter hub-and-drum assembly is ready to go. It’s built for 3,500-lb trailer axles with #84 spindles and works with both electric and hydraulic drum brakes. The 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide drum gives your brake shoes a solid surface to grip, keeping stopping power consistent under load. With a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" wheel bolts, it’s a direct fit for common trailer wheels. Every hub is rated for 1,750 lbs, giving your setup balanced performance on each side.
Everything you need to mount it comes in the box—inner bearing (L68149), outer bearing (L44649), matching races (L68111 and L44610), grease seal (58846), grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. The races are already pressed into the hub, so the hardest part is already done. Once your bearings are greased and installed, just slide it on, snug the castle nut, and you’re ready to roll.
Dexter’s iron construction gives this hub the strength to handle real towing conditions day in and day out. The precision-machined drum surface keeps brake shoes wearing evenly, and the tight bearing tolerances mean smooth rotation. Whether you’re upgrading, repairing, or keeping a spare on hand, it’s built to match factory specs every time.
The included grease seal measures 1.719" inner diameter and 2.565" outer diameter, and the grease cap flange diameter is 1.986". These standard sizes make future replacements simple. Once installed, you get a long-lasting setup that’s easy to service and keeps your trailer rolling quietly and safely.
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"

Still tows like a dream. With the trailer attached is just like driving with no trailer at all. Brakes are responsive and smooth. Just on additional note: I replaced all 4 of the electric drum brakes with Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kits. All bought from etrailer, all fit perfectly. No problems! Very happy with the product and the results
