Features to Know About

How Do I Know This Hub and Drum Will Fit My Trailer?

Designed for standard 3,500 lb axle spindles, this hub and drum works with many utility and cargo trailers. Matching your bearing sizes is the easiest way to confirm it will fit your setup.

Integrated Hub and Drum Design

The hub and drum are combined into one assembly, so you are replacing both at the same time. This ensures the braking surface and bearing surfaces work together correctly.

Pre-Greased Hub Assembly

Bearings come packed with grease and races are already installed, reducing prep work and helping ensure proper lubrication during installation.

Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.


Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)


Bolt Pattern - Side

Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Video Transcript for Review of Terran Industries Trailer Hubs and Drums - Hub with Integrated Drum - TX68VJ

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking at our Terran Industries trailer hub and drum assembly. This is for 3,500-pound axles. It's a 10-inch diameter drum and it features a five on four and a half inch lug pattern. Now, this fits most standard trailer axle setups.

The brake compatibility works with electric or hydraulic drum brake systems. It's a 10-inch brake drum assembly and that provides the surface for the brake shoes to grip the inside of this drum. And again, it's a five on four and a half inch lug pattern. And with an odd number like this, they want you to measure from the center of one stud directly in between two of the other studs, and that's where that four and a half inch comes into play. Now, you can check the product page and you can go from stud to stud and get that measurement, and we can explain that on the page better in depth.

Everything comes pre-grease as far as that inner bearing. That's a 68149 bearing number, and the seal, excuse me. And then, of course, your outer bearing here is a L 44649. You have a cap here. That way, if you have a grease zerk, you can pop that rubber plug out and reach the grease zerk.

Just make sure that you are packing this bearing and putting grease in there before you take off. And then, of course, you got five new lug nuts for the assembly as well. Well, folks, that is gonna wrap it up for our quick look together at this Terran Industries trailer hub and drum assembly. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.

See what our Experts say about this Terran Industries Trailer Hubs and Drums

  • Who Makes The Best Quality Trailer Bearings?
    Hi Calvin! All of the pre-greased hubs/drums, like the Terran Industries Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # TX68VJ, come with bearings made overseas and are all basically the same quality. At least that I have seen. That said, As long as you do regular maintenance, they should last a good long time. The only downside to Terran Industries specifically is the Mobilgrease XHP 222 grease they use. It can be a bit hard to find and we have heard it does...

  • Replacement for Lippert 126003 Hub and Drum Assembly
    Hi Jeff, welcome back! Is that the 126003? I don't see a 1260031 but the Lippert 126003 is a 3,500 lb hub with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. Assuming that is correct, the Terran Axle Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # TX68VJ will work as a replacement.

  • Will Terran Trailer Hub/Drums TX68VJ 3,500 lb Axle Replace Dexter K08-247
    Hey Wes, yes the Terran hub/drum part # TX68VJ that you referenced will replace the Dexter drums you mentioned as based on that you have a 3,500 lb axle like what this kit is designed to fit. Do you need brake assemblies as well?
