When a hub fails or you’re doing a quick roadside swap, you need a replacement that’s ready to go. This Dexter trailer hub-and-drum assembly comes fully pre-greased and includes the inner bearing (L68149), outer bearing (L44649), both races, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. It’s built for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube axles with #84 spindles, and each hub carries a 1,750-lb weight capacity. The 10"-diameter drum works with 10" electric or hydraulic brakes, giving you reliable braking right out of the box.
Keeping bearings lubricated can be messy, but this hub’s E-Z Lube-compatible grease cap makes it easy. Just pop out the rubber plug, attach your grease gun to the spindle zerk fitting, and pump in fresh grease. It flows to both the inner and outer bearings for full coverage without disassembly. This setup helps prevent corrosion and keeps your hub running smoothly trip after trip.
Dexter hubs have a reputation for lasting through years of towing, thanks to sturdy iron construction and well-matched bearing and seal design. The grease seal (58846) measures 1.719" inner diameter and 2.565" outer diameter to seat securely on the spindle. Combined with precisely fit races (L68111 inner and L44610 outer), you get smooth rotation and dependable performance even under load.
This hub-and-drum assembly fits wheels from 13" to 15" and uses a 5 on 5" bolt pattern with 1/2"-diameter wheel bolts. From small utility and equipment trailers to larger haulers, the fitment range makes it a solid choice for projects or replacements. The grease cap flange measures 1.98", and the total distance from the wheel mounting surface to the end of the E-Z Lube grease cap is 2-5/8", ensuring the right spacing for secure wheel mounting.
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"

These drum/hub units are great quality and price. Everything is supplied to make installation fast and easy. Ordering was easy with salespeople that know their products. Very happy dealing with etrailer..
Great service.fast shipping .easy returns.if you need trailer parts it's the only place to go.
Good quality drum and bearing races were already installed so that was a chore i didnt have to deal with. I didnt care for the China brand bearing otherwise it was a good fit for my Dexter EZ lube axles.
I ordered Hub/Drum Assembly, 10" Nev-R-Adjust Break Assembly and seals. Products were as advertised. Shipping was very Fast.
The product was delivered super fast for free shipping. Was easy to put on. And is working great. Etrailer has a lot of helpful videos and info that helped me figure out what I needed to order and install. Thanks Etrailer.
etrailer customer service is excellent with fast response and super fast delivery. this dexter drum is biffier than the china ones and better made. excellent service and great dexter product. cant beat this!
I was broke down, ordered a new drum in the early afternoon. It was shipped the same day and I was back in business in 48 hours.
Good parts, good prices, and good shipping. Etrailer gets all my parts business.
Customer service at etrailer.com was nothing less than fantastic. Hub arrived as described. All of the necessary components were included in the package. Easy to put together and install.
Working great. This was a replacement for a factory hub that failed. I just checked the bearings last week and they look like they did a year ago.
Thanks!
Have not installed it yet so I can't review the product. I can tell you that etrailer's customer service is top notch. I called about a shipping delay after I placed my order. They assured me it would only be a day and not a week like my order confirmation said. Called back the next day and my order was already shipped. Good people to do business with.
I installed the new electric brakes and drums on a new off road teardrop type camper we just purchased. I have always had excellent service with Dexter axles and the parts I just installed were as usual, top quality. Thank you!
Heavy items were packed nicely in heavy duty box. Everything was received intact and complete. Delivered quick, day UPS guy came was 100 degrees and very humid. Poor guy never made it to door, but set it next to trailer which was fine with me. I used a dolly to get it inside. Parts all fit perfectly, only issue i had was getting very last bolt removed from old brake plate. The nut broke loose from plate, couldn't get nut off. So used angle grinder, problem resolved. Install was smooth and easy.
I had a tandem axle trailer that only had brakes on the rear axle. ordered these hubs and brakes the fit perfect and now I have more braking capability.
The hub, drum and brakes were excellent quality and everything was included that was needed to facilitate the perfect install. The guys at e-trailer were extremely helpful and their response to my mistake of ordering the wrong drums was immediate and fast. This is one top shelf company; I will definitely deal with them in the future.
The products I ordered were as I expected. Everything arrived quickly and without damage.
My only negative and a warning for others, if you are ordering similar parts with the intention of adding brakes to an axle...
1) There are no nuts to attach the brake assembly backing plate with. Even if I was replacing an existing unit, I would want fresh hardware.
2) The bearing/seal assemblies for the hub do not include a new washer/retainer/nut for the axle. Again, anyone replacing these would want fresh hardware.
I upgraded my open bed car-hauler's electric brakes from single axle to double axle for added safety. My trailer was originally set up with manual adjusters on one axle and they stopped okay when new; but adding the second set adds absolutely unbelievable stopping power and stability. The best part; they went on in about three and a half hours. I replaced the original units on the existing axle, bolted new matching units on the front and wired them in with no problems. Dexter quality is excellent. I used the new brake assemblies and new drum assemblies and they are really nice units. It was only a few bucks more to replace with new than to rebuild the old units.
Heads up!!
ordered 4 sets of hub, drums and brakes over two years ago for a project I've been slowly working on. when I received the items, I noticed the packaging was damaged and reported it to etrailer. 2 years later, I finally went to use the items and discovered the bearings, caps and races had been damaged. I notified the management at etrailer and within a week had complete replacements.
What company in this day and age is willing to stand behind a damage claim two years on? Truly remarkable customer service and willingness to go the extra mile.
etrailer, You've won me forever as a devoted and satisfied customer. you guys are rock stars! Thank You.
I installed these Dexter 10" Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit with Hub & Drum Assembly on my 72"X10' trailer (that came equipped with a Dexter axle) to help ease the brake load as well as preventing rotor warping on my F150 especially during heavy loads. I have pretty much eliminated any 'push-thru' effect when braking especially for the unexpected quick stop(s). They were easy to install and (so far) have been low/no maintenance.
Excellent customer service!
The brakes work great on my utility trailer and I am really happy that I made the investment!
Fits just right!
Last Saturday, after several weeks of research, my wife and I purchased a trailer. It had everything we wanted except for brakes. I asked the dealer if they could install brakes, he said it would take weeks if not longer for him to get the parts and then he would have to arrange for them to be installed.
I told the dealer that I had already done some preliminary research on eTrailer.com for brake parts. On a long shot, I asked the dealer if he could beat eTrailer.com prices for the brake parts and if so I would install. To the dealer's credit, he told me I would be much better off getting the brake parts I needed on my own. So, late Sunday evening I went onto the eTrailer.com website. After taking a couple of measurements to ensure I was ordering the correct parts, I placed the order. Their website is user friendly and intuitive, and the tutorial videos are excellent.
Early Monday morning I got a message from one of eTrailer's employees notifying me that my parts had shipped. He also offered his services if I needed anything further or if I had any questions. I did have questions, so I called him, I wanted to confirm that I had ordered the correct bolt pattern for the hub/drums. Within a couple of minutes we confirmed that I had taken the correct measurements. The reassuring part was, he said if you find the hub/drums are not the correct ones, let me know and we will get a return label out to you and get the correct parts out to you.
By early Thursday afternoon the parts had arrived. I had already watched the installation tutorial video that is on their website. Following the video process, the install was straight forward and PAINLESS. This company is so refreshing!
Great drum/hub assembly. Gets you back on the road quick.
I bought this to keep in my truck in case one on my trailer would fail,This already assembled and greased hub and brake is the only way to go for a roadside repair making it much faster and easier which makes it much safer
Easy to install, helpfull staff and fast shipping . I installed a switch to turn on all my brakes for loading and I turned it on to check the brakes and when I released it I herd the brakes adjust (almost felt giddy) no more crawling under the trailer for adjustment! You cant see any difference in the trailer but, i know my brakes will work for a long time to come. THANK YOU etrailer.com for an easy pleasant experience and all of the help in the past. you have made me want to come back for future parts.

Thanks for the follow up. For almost 10 years now, I have been very happy with the service, products and value that I get from etrailer. So much so, that I refer friends and family to your website as their needs arise. As the mechanic in the family, and around the neighborhood, I often have people approach me for help. Several times a year I find myself referencing etrailers website to find a part we need or that will make a job easier to complete. Additionally, I CANT SAY ENOUGH how helpful etrailers on line video library has been with installations and to help answer questions or trouble shoot problems. I really appreciate that etrailer would take the time and resources to build such a library to help their customers.
