When you’re towing heavy loads, you want a hub and drum setup that performs without hesitation. This Dexter assembly fits 3,500-lb E-Z Lube trailer axles with #84 spindles and comes ready for both electric and hydraulic drum brakes. With a 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide drum and a 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern, it delivers solid braking performance run after run. Each hub supports up to 1,750 lbs and fits 13", 14", 14-1/2", and 15" wheels, giving you a dependable setup for steady, balanced stopping power.
Repacking bearings doesn’t have to be a chore. The E-Z Lube-compatible grease cap lets you add grease right through the spindle by removing the rubber plug and attaching a grease gun to the zerk fitting. The grease flows through to both inner and outer bearings without tearing the hub apart. That means quick lubrication, cleaner hands, and less chance of corrosion inside the hub.
Getting back on the road is easier when everything you need is in one box. This hub-and-drum assembly includes the inner bearing (L68149) and race (L68111), outer bearing (L44649) and race (L44610), grease seal (58846), grease cap, wheel bolts, and 1/2"-diameter lug nuts. Just slide it on, torque it down, and you’re ready to roll—no extra parts hunting or guesswork needed.
Built with solid iron, this hub and drum assembly holds up under weight, heat, and wear. The design provides a strong braking surface for the shoes to grip when the brakes are applied, keeping your trailer’s braking smooth and consistent. It’s a durable, straightforward setup that’s made to last through the miles.
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"

Today we're going to review part number 845476UC3-EZ. This is the Dexter trailer hub and drum assembly for 3500 pound easy lube axles with the 5-14 and 3/4-inch bolt pattern. This trailer hub and drum assembly will fit on easy lube axles with electric or hydraulic brakes. It includes everything shown here, the bearings, the bearing races, which are already pre-installed into the assembly themselves, the double up grease seal, the easy lube grease cap, and the lug nuts. This is designed to go on an easy lube axle and basically that easy lube design will make lubricating your bearings very simply. Basically what you would do after this is all installed and you have your cap installed, what you do is you remove this rubber plug, which is right in the middle of the cap here, and that will give you full access to that grease a Zerk fitting that is on the end of a spindle on an easy lube axle. With that exposed, you can put your grease gun onto that Zerk fitting, pumping your grease and that would lubricate your bearings so you don't have to be taking your hub and drum assembly off your axle.
You can do it without removing the hub and drum. Again, the application, this fits on the 3500 pound easy lube axles with electric or hydraulic brakes. The drum dimension is measured here on the inside, the 10-inch diameter by 2-1/4 inches wide, just to give you an idea here. Measure the inside. You can see there's the 10-inch diameter inside the insides and then the 2-1/4, and just put the tape on there.
You see 2-1/4 inches for the width. Basically this will fit on any brake assembly that is measured by 10 x 1/4 inches. The bolt pattern on this is 5 on 4 and 3/4. The wheels students are a half inch diameter. The capacity on this one assembly is 1750 pounds, so when you combine this with the other hub and drum assembly on the other side of the axle, will give you your 3500 pound weight capacity. The bearings it comes with, the inner bearing, which is the larger of the two is L68149.
You can see here's the inner race that's already pre-installed onto the hub and drum. Your inner bearing would fit right onto that race. You take your double grease seal and you put that in there, and you'd have to tap that in so it's a press fit. It holds everything into place. Then you'd go to the front and again you'll see your outer bearing race already pre-installed in there.
Take your outer bearing, which is part number L44649. That would drop right in there. With that in there, then you'd slide that on. Your spindle would stick through. You'd put your washer and nut on, tighten it down correctly, and then you'd just tap in your grease cap and again I mention that's an easy lube grease cap, and just to show you what I was talking about, as you can see, there's this rubber plug that you can just pull out and with it installed, it will give you full access to that grease Zerk fitting on an easy lube spindle. It also comes with the five 1/2 lug nuts right here. The lug nuts are used. Once everything is installed and you're going to put your wheels and tires back on. Then you'll go ahead and tighten those down by using these 1/2-inch lug nuts and torque them to the correct torque specs. That should do it for the review on part number 845476UC3-EZ, the Dexter trailer hub and drum assembly, the 3500 pound easy lube axles with the 5 on 3/4-inch bolt pattern. .

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.

Ten thousand miles on these new brakes. They are working just fine. I adjust them about every three thousand miles. After seven thousand miles, I pulled the brake drums and looked at them. The whole assembly and drum and magnet rubbing surfaces were just fine. I put in new double seals Etrailer sells them after pulling the brake drums. Grease the bearing with the Ez-lube hubs while spinning the wheel until new grease starts to exude. I will buy these again when needed.
