This Dexter hub-and-drum assembly fits 3,500-lb E-Z Lube trailer axles with #84 spindles and gives your trailer strong, consistent braking. It’s built to work with both electric and hydraulic drum brakes, so you can match it to the system you already run. The 10" x 2-1/4" drum provides a solid braking surface, helping your trailer slow down evenly and predictably mile after mile.
Keeping up with bearing maintenance doesn’t have to be a chore. The included E-Z Lube-compatible grease cap has a rubber plug that lets you reach the zerk fitting on the spindle without pulling the hub apart. Just pop the plug, attach the grease gun, and pump in fresh grease—it flows directly to both the inner and outer bearings to keep them protected and running smooth.
Everything you need to mount it up is in the box—inner and outer bearings (L68149 and L44649), races, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. The heavy-duty iron construction gives long-term strength and stability, while the precise bearing fitments (1.378" inner diameter for the L68149 and 1.063" for the L44649) keep things spinning true.
Whether you’re upgrading or replacing old hubs, this assembly’s 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern makes it easy to find matching wheels from 13" up through 16". Each hub supports 1,750 lbs, giving you plenty of carrying power for your 3,500-lb axle setup. The 1/2" wheel studs and 1.986" grease cap flange diameter round out a solid, easy-to-fit setup that’s proven reliable for the long haul.
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 trailer is on the road often and this hub assembly has been trouble free, as expected.

The d-washer does not come with the hub. The hub and drum is made and assembled in the USA but the bearings are manufactured in China.
