When you’re refreshing a trailer that’s been in service for years, it’s nice to drop in parts that fit exactly. This Dexter hub-and-drum assembly is built for 3,500-lb axles with #84 spindles and has a 5 on 5" bolt pattern. The 10" diameter drum works with 10" brake assemblies (electric or hydraulic) and includes everything needed for mounting—inner bearing L68149, outer bearing L44649, matching races L68111 and L44610, grease seal 58846 (1.719" ID × 2.565" OD), grease cap (1.98" flange diameter), wheel bolts, and 1/2" lug nuts. Each hub supports 1,750 lbs, giving a combined axle capacity of 3,500 lbs.
A sturdy iron casting gives the brake shoes a consistent surface to grab, whether you’re towing across town or down the highway. The 10" × 2-1/4" drum design works smoothly with standard brake assemblies and keeps braking performance even on long grades or during repeated stops.
The races come already seated in the hub, so you only need to grease the bearings, install the seal, and slide it onto the spindle. With the grease cap, bolts, and lug nuts included, you avoid multiple parts runs and can finish the job in one go. No guesswork—everything matches from the first fit-up.
Matched bearing sizes—inner L68149 (1.378" ID) and outer L44649 (1.063" ID)—keep the hub centered on the spindle for even rotation. The correctly machined center bore (2.67") mates cleanly to most trailer wheels with a 3.19" pilot diameter, giving a snug, vibration-free ride.
Whether you’re running electric brakes or sticking with hydraulic, this hub and drum is ready for either setup. It’s a dependable, serviceable assembly that makes restoring, upgrading, or keeping a trailer road-worthy simple and predictable.
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"

The final result worked quite well. After learning the cause of the self-adjusting brakes overtightening from a different source but the etrailer staff should have recognized the issue I loaded my 2500 pound sports car on my trailer for a round trip of about 1500 miles and was very satisfied with the brake performance.
