Features to know about
Ready to Roll Fast: Pre-Greased Hub-and-Drum for 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles
Getting back on the road is a lot easier with this pre-greased hub-and-drum assembly. It’s packed at the factory with lithium complex multipurpose grease, so there’s no need to hand-pack bearings or install seals yourself. Everything’s included—inner bearing 25580, outer bearing 15123, races, GS2250DL grease seal, grease cap, and 1/2" x 1-1/4" wheel studs with lug nuts. Just slide it on and torque it down. Each hub supports up to 3,000 lbs, and the pre-greased setup stays good for years when stored as a spare.
Smooth, Reliable Braking: 12" Drum for Electric or Hydraulic Systems
When you hit the brakes, you want steady, predictable stopping power. This sturdy iron drum gives your 12" x 2" brake shoes a precise surface to grip, whether you’re using electric or hydraulic brakes. It’s built for #42 spindles and tested to QAI and CSA standards for braking performance and safety, so you can count on consistent results mile after mile.
Built to Last in Wet or Dusty Conditions: Zinc-Enriched Protection
Corrosion can ruin an otherwise solid hub, especially when you’re towing through rain or salt spray. The zinc-enriched paint on the drum and zinc-finished bolts keep rust at bay so the assembly stays clean and functional longer. That means less time spent swapping out rusty parts and more time hauling confidently in any weather.
Fits Right the First Time: Standard Dimensions and Proven Bearings
This hub and drum assembly is made for standard 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb axles used by most major axle makers. It works with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and fits wheels from 14-1/2" to 16-1/2". The matching inner (1.75") and outer (1.25") bearing sizes make it a direct fit for common spindle profiles, making upgrades and restorations straightforward—even on older trailers that need a fresh start.

Determining Bolt Pattern
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"

Customer service, order processing, part availability, pricing and shipping are 5 star, but order packaging needs much improvement. Leaf springs, ubolts and brake assemblies assemblies arrived in very thin light weight boxes and wrapped only in thin paper. I received damaged parts and missing parts. Heavy weight items like these need to be packaged in form fitting cardboard or styrofoam and placed in heavy weight boxes .

Perfect hub for my 10k homesteader enclosed. 1.25 ID bearing on the outer, 1.75 ID bearing on the inner, and a 2.25 ID oil seal. Bearing is pre-packed with grease, and looks pretty good quality. There are cheaper ones out these, but these have proper removable bearing races and good quality. Box was pretty beat up when it arrived - kinda surprised there isn’t more packing in there, but it all looked good.

Sales rep all but guaranteed these were made in the USA by Dexter for etrailer, CHINA is cleverly hidden INSIDE the drum. They are not made in the USA, but CHINA doesn’t ALWAYS mean junk. Time will tell, but the last set of China drums were destroyed in one year. 2012 Ram factory controller set at 3.5 empty, 6.5 loaded around 9k. 20’ enclosed car trailer.

Units fit well, drums are made in China, but I expected that given they are $100 less than the dexter units (who knows maybe dexter is made in China also). They did take a beating in delivery, one bearing was popped out (still in the bag) and all 4 rear grease seals popped out as well, but no damage to the actual assembly... I gave the 4 stars due to the China part..

It replaced the old drum and hub, electric brake assemblies, it was an exact fit. The outer bearing race was loose in the old hub drum assembly, that was the reason of my repair endeavor. I am very happy with the service I received from Etrailer.com... Thanks George J. for your effort in getting the replacement parts to me. I am considering doing right side of my axle for the sake of uniformity, as am writing this review!

The three wheel hubs delivered were the wrong ones. I ordered 6 lug configuration and received 5 lug and they were delivered a day later than the confirmation email stated. Frustrated because I was on a deadline to get my trailer back on the road and will now have to make an extra trip to where I have the trailer stored to complete the repairs. The call agent was quick to place a replacement order but they still took a week to arrive.

Haven't put them on yet but everything matched up except the rear bearing and seal. I have an older trailer and the axels are different the old bearing still fit just fine in the hub. The delivery time was very impressive. When I get the trailer done I'll post some picks.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Replacement Brake Assemblies for Hubs Marked BD-655-17Hey Ronald, based on the part number you mentioned the correct brake assemblies would be the etrailer brake assemblies part # AKEBRK-7-SA which are a self adjusting set that are the correct capacity for the hub/drums that you have.
view full answer... - Grease to Oil Bath Trailer Hub Conversion Kit for 3500 Pound AxlesThe kit in question is # XLPROLUBE1980KIT. It fits 1.98 inch hubs (the opening where the grease cap fits in the hub) and 3500 pound axles. The seal which will replace the regular grease seal fits 1.72 inch spindles (diameter where the seal rides on the spindle) but will not fit 1.68 inch spindles.
view full answer... - Dexter Axle Hub Conversion for 14.5 Inch or 15 Inch Wheels on Equipment TrailerThanks for the information on your trailer. For your axle with brakes I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K if you have the spindles with the integrated grease zerk. If you have standard spindles, I recommend # AKHD-655-6-K which have the standard grease cap instead. These assemblies will fit perfectly with your axles based on the bearing and seal information you gave as well as 14.5 inch wheels. Then...

Hayes liked to use their own proprietary sizes for bearings so it's harder to find replacements now that they've gone out of business. To determine if there is a fit you'll need to measure the spindle at points B, C, and D on the diagram below to get the inner diameter for the bearings....
view full answer... - Looking For Grease Hub For 2004 Single Axle Marine Master TrailerHey Brad, thanks for reaching out. We should have a grease hub for you, but there is no way to use the trailer ID number or VIN to look up exactly what hubs you need. Trailer manufacturers just aren't that specific with their online literature, and there is no universal VIN database for trailers like there is for motor vehicles. There are a few pieces of info that can help us narrow down what you need. If you can tell me the weight capacity of the axle, that will help. In most cases though...
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs And Brake Assemblies For A 2006 Colorado 5th WheelHello David, I can definitely point you in the right direction. The Lippert 5,200 lb axles will use the standard 12" x 2" brake assemblies. For that I recommend the etrailer Rust-Resistant Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-7-D. This comes with a pair of Dacromet coasted electric brake assemblies. As far as the hubs, it is not quite so cut and dry. The 5,200 lb axles generally use a # 25580 inner bearing and a # 15123 outer bearing. Given that your axle is almost 20 years old, it may not...

Based on that and fact you have 5,200 lb axles the correct bearing kit would be the part # BK3-300 which comes with the correct bearings, races, seal, and a cotter pin as well. The parts that come with this are LM67048/25580 Bearings, 25580/25520 races, and 10-36 Seal. For a hub/drum replacement you would want the part # AKHD-655-6-K and then for self adjusting assemblies you would need the part # AKEBRK-7-SA...
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Hubs, Assemblies, and Breakaway Kit for a Trailer w/ 6,000 lbs AxlesHey Chuck, I sure can and thanks for the information! For replacement hubs, you'll need the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K if you have EZ lube axles or item # AKHD-655-6-K if you have standard axles without a grease zerk behind the dust cap. They are sold individually. These hubs fit spindles with inner bearing item # 25580 and outer bearing item # 15123. It wouldn't hurt to confirm the part numbers off of the bearings in your current hubs. 6,000 lbs axles...

view full answer... - Recommended 5200-6000lb Axle For M105 Military Trailer Being Converted To Overland TrailerI have another option for you, but the only hub and drum assemblies available with the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern are only rated for wheels up to 16-1/2" diameter and are not designed to work with 17" wheels. Starting with the axle for your M105 Military Trailer that you are doing an overland conversion on I recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 2" Lift Spindle w/ Brake Flange - 5,200 lbs # TASR5200S05 or the 4" lift version # TASR5200S03. Both of these...
view full answer... - How to Convert Oil Bath Trailer Hubs to Grease HubsActually all you really have to do is remove the oil from the hub and then pack the hubs with grease and then get the correct bearing buddy to match the threaded hub bore. You will need to measure the inner diameter of where the old grease cap installed on your hub to pick out the correct bearing buddy. If that measurement is 1.98 then you would wan the # BB1980T-SS, if it's 2.080 inches and has 12 threads per inch then you'd need part # BB2080T-SS, if it's 2.44 inches you'd want the part...

To choose the correct replacement axle you will need to know the hub face to hub face measurement and spring seat center to spring seat center measurements of your current axle; you'll also want to try to match your existing bolt pattern with the hubs in...

This hub and drum comes with inner bearing part # 25580 and outer bearing part # 15123. It fits a 12 inch diameter brake assembly. You do want to check your existing bearings for their bearing numbers. There should be bearing numbers stamped on the side. If there is not numbers stamped on the side you can...

- Recommended Grease Conversion for Dexter 12k Oil Bath AxlesThe Dexter 12K oil bath axles can be changed over to grease without any issues. The oil does keep the bearings lubricated well, but there is a much higher risk of leaking which leads to a much higher risk of failure. I'd personally move to grease # L11390 and make sure it is packed well into the bearings using # PTW1218. This will allow you to use your same bearings and oil cap, but you will need to replace the seal once removed to pack the inner bearing. For that you can use # 10-56.

We will need to find out inner diameter of both the Inner and Outer Bearings as well as the inner diameter of the Grease Seal. To ensure that your current wheels are compatible with the hub that you get you will need to make sure that you also have the appropriate bolt pattern on your hub. If you remove one of your current hubs you should be able to see...

The bearing numbers are etched into the face of each bearing as well as the metal ring on the seal. If you don't have these, then you will need to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure...

- Availability of Hub/Drum and Brake Kit for Lippert Axle With 12" 5-Lug AssembliesHey Gary! Are you sure that bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2? Your typical 12" hub and drum assembly like # AKHD-655-6-K is either 6 on 5-1/2 or 8 on 6-1/2. Your standard 5 on 4-1/2 hub/drum assembly is 10" like the # AKHD-545-35-K for 3,500 lb axles. Assuming you have 12" brake assemblies you can use the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-7-SA. If you aren't sure on the hubs, you can send me the S/N off of your axle tag and I can identify the axle through Lippert. I can tell you we...

view full answer... - Replacement 5,200 lbs Axle Hey Tarso! I am sorry but we are not going to have anything close to the dimensions you're needing on a traditional axle. The only solution I have to offer you is to use an axle-less set up like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension item # TASR5200S05 and then add the 6 on 5-1/2 Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # AKHD-655-6-K. These do work with tandem axle set ups and are a comparable option if you have to find a place to custom build an axle for you.

The reason that it gets confusing, is because some of the parts are manufactured in China, while they are assembled here in the USA.
