E-Z Lube-Compatible Assembly for Simple Lubrication
The grease cap on this hub-and-drum assembly is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
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.
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.)
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.)
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"

Thanks so much etrailer for making me feel so much better/safer about carrying heavier loads in my trailer. Katrina also went the extra mile when it came to customer service and patience with my order. I had 15" six lug hub and drum assembly which held all I could load on them, like I said I just did not feel safe so I went with this hub and drum assembly which came with all necessary items for the install, and it allowed me to put 16" tires with a heavier weight rating. Very pleased.

I love ordering from etrailer. They have a great team. The brake assemblies and hubs arrived on time and the installation was easy. The only negative was one of the drum assemblies arrived with a crushed seal and the outer bearing cage was bent up. I know etrailer would have sent replacement parts but do to time constraints I made a trip to our local trailer parts store. $20 later and a little time I was back to work. There was no damage to the box. The bag with the bearings and seal in it got to where it could get damaged by the weight of the drum.

Would to see this package available with optional upgrades for name brand bearings and grease seals (eg. Timken, national, skf).

Perfect fit and excellent quality. That is why I use etrailer.
by: Richard 07/27/2022
I thought there might be an issue with the parts because the old drum was an Axiletech. Measured everything and turns out it all fit PERFECT! Did have to use the old nut and cotter key due to no slot in the spindle. Other than that it's all good. Thanks for the proper parts for my trailer and good shipping.
by: Len 07/28/2022
The confidence with part selection from the website put me at ease and made it easier for me to order these break parts.I am very pleased with the install videos and products.

Delivered quick and timely. I was surprised to see how much better made this drum assembly was compared to the equivalent manufactured and sold by Lippert. Will be replacing the other three drums on our trailer with this Dexter drum assembly.

worthless customer service! Lied to me, no overnight. No follow up no communication. Very bad. They talk a good game until you need them then etrailer is MIA!

These guy's at etrailer are hard to beat! Customer care is over the top. That's why Allison Creek does business with etrailer.

The US made Dexter axle was worth the wait. The shipping through UPS was not the best experience for getting heavy items to Alaska. etrailer customer service was great at resolving the issues with UPS.

I purchased 4 of these to convert a trailer to 8 lug rims. The kits arrived but one bearing was damaged prior to arrival. Carol shipped a new one no questions asked. Great customer service. Thank you.
by: Conrad11/28/2018
Great product and exact replacement for our 42ft Keystone Montana High Country 375FL.
Fast shipping and correct part is extremely important as we are full time RVers and with limited time.
I've ordered several items over the years and always received great service.
by: Dakota05/25/2022
Very valued supplier with quality parts and excellent customer service!
by: Mike 08/18/2022
Shipped a few hours after ordering. It’s what I needed and got the job done!
by: Andrew V.02/15/2019
I ordered this as spare hub assembly for my 5th Wheel RV. We are leaving next month on a 5000+ mile, 3 month trip. I figure if I have a bearing go bad I can swap out the whole hub and be back on the road in no time. The hub is the same Dexter hub that I have on my rig now.
Shipping was fast and free, Helen was great, helping me find the part numbers of some of the other accessories that I needed to have spares of. Speaking of shipping I had checked other places for the hub and while the price was similar the freight charges were half the price of the hub. I will definitely be giving trailer my business going forward.
Comments
I havent had to use this Hub as of yet but, just having with me when we travel is comforting.

Excellent service. Had a small problem and it was handled quickly and professionally
by: Chris 08/17/2021
The products were great. The only problem I had was I received all but 1 part. I called etrailer and the response was quick. My order some how got sorted into 2 orders. I was hoping to get all my brakes replaced at one time but not going to happen.
by: 09/05/2021
Overall service was good but I had issues with some of my parts that were damaged during shipping or which were faulty. All issues were resolved and customer service reps were helpful. My only complaint is loss of time waiting on replacements to show up and waiting on the phone to speak to a rep.
by: Jack 08/21/2022
Fast and efficient.
by: Timothy 07/22/2022
Good service
by: Al03/28/2014
This is exactly what I need for an on-the-road repair! I ordered a second because I had a wheel-lug issue on I-95, and this kit got me rolling again! Thanks for offering a very complete setup at a great price. Finally, the free shipping is EXCELLENT! With some vendors "free shipping" means "you will receive it sometime next year." Not etrailer.com! Thanks!

Still going strong! Excellent value, quality, reliability!

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Recommended Dexter Hub/Drum Assemblies for 5,200 lb and 6,000 lb AxlesSome of the Dexter hub/drum assemblies are rated for 5200 lb axles and some are rated for 5200 to 7000 lb axles. The only difference is bolt pattern. There are 6 on 5-1/2 assemblies that will only be compatible with 5200 lbs where the 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern will stretch to the other weight capacities. The most common hub and drum for your axle size is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 8 on 6-1/2 # 42866UC3. If you have the EZ...
view full answer... - Greasing Bearings and Hub for Dexter EZ Lube Hub and Drum for 5.2K to 7K Axles, 8 on 6-1/2If you have EZ lube axles then the hubs most likely use a double lip seal (which is what comes with hub # 42866UC3-EZ) that is going to be able to handle the use of a grease gun. But make sure to use a manual grease gun because the powered models do create much more pressure and can blow a grease seal. Make sure the grease used in the grease gun is the same as the grease used to pack the bearings or, if different, make sure they two greases are compatible. I have included a link to a helpful...
view full answer... - How Tight Should Trailer Bearings Be When Installing on a SpindleTrailer bearings can fit pretty tight to the spindle, but they would not ever need to get pressed on. They should not be so tight that you have to really pound on them to fit but they can require a little bit of effort to get them to slide onto the spindle. When installed there should be no play between the inner surface of the bearing and the spindle. I have attached a link to a video that shows how to remove and reinstall trailer hub components you can check out.
view full answer... - Should Grease Be Added to EZ Lube Trailer Hubs if the Bearings were Manually Packed with GreaseOn EZ lube hubs and axles you would want to add grease until it is full (when you see it flow out). When that happens it indicates that the proper amount of grease is in the hub. Having the bearings packed and the little bit of grease you have added is probably fine but it is better to be safe and fill 'em up!
view full answer... - How Tight Should the Spindle Nut be on a Trailer HubWhen installing the castle nut on the end of the spindle, there is no specific torque rating but it sounds like your might be a little too loose. The nut is ran down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then backed off to the next notch in the castle nut so the tang washer or cotter pin can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. If you click on the video link I provided, and fast forward to the 4:45 minute mark, you can...

I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out. If you are looking for a different bolt pattern this step can be skipped for now. Next thing we will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order...
view full answer... - Spare Hub Recommendation for 2016 Keystone Outback with 5,200 lb AxlesSince you have the EZ lube spindles the correct hub you'd need is the part # 42866UC3-EZ. The agricultural 42 spindle has the same dimensions as the non-agricultural spindle so either way this is the correct fit.
view full answer... - Rubbing Noise After Hub/Drum InstallThank you for the feedback, we sure do appreciate it! It's hard to say what the rubbing noise you are hearing is but I suspect the shoes on the backing plate are coming into contact with the drum which is completely normal but don't forget to adjust them prior to towing. I would then start with lubrication. In addition to packing each of the bearings before assembly you will also need to fill them with the right amount of grease. I would also make sure no dirt got into the grease and the...
view full answer... - Upgrading from 6 Lug to 8 Lug On Dexter 6K AxleIn order to upgrade from a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern to a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern on a Dexter 6K Axle you'll need the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 42866UC3-EZ. The Dexter 5,200 lb - 7,000 lb axles all have the same size bearings.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly for Dexter D52 Axle on Big Tex TrailerThe Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ is the correct one for your axle. It includes the hub/drum assembly complete with inner and outer bearings and races. New lug nuts, grease seal, grease cap, spindle nut and lock are also included.
view full answer... - Picking Out Replacement Hub/Drum for 1998 Alpen Lite Stone Creek 36RLThere's a chance the current 7k trailer axle hubs could fit in place of what you have but you'll need to measure your spindle to find that out for sure. Take your hub off and measure the spindle where the bearings and seal ride. If those dimensions are 1.25 inch, 1.75 inch, and 2.25 inch you could use a hub like the part # 42866UC3-EZ. If you find different dimensions let me know and I'll see what you'd need.
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Springs for 2012 Dutchman Voltage 3905In order to find the correct leaf springs for your 2012 Dutchman Voltage 3905 you will need to take some measurements and know the capacity of your axle. What you are looking for is the center of spring eye to center of spring eye measurement. In order to get the most accurate measurement ,the wheels of the trailer should be off the ground since the springs stretch when weight is applied. I have attached an image showing where you need to measure. If you provide me with this information...

- Pilot Hole Size of the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZThe Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ fits a wheel with a 4-3/4-inch pilot hole and a 8-on-6-1/2 bolt pattern. Each hub has a 3500 lbs rating.
view full answer... - Castle Nut Torque Spec for 7,000 Pound Trailer AxleThere is no specific torque rating when reinstalling the castle nut after packing the bearings. You want to run the nut down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then back it off to the next notch in the castle nut so the retainer can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. I have attached a video showing this process. If you jump to the 4:45 minute mark, you can see the procedure outlined above.
view full answer... - Trailer Hub that Fits 7k Axle with Bearing Numbers 25580 15123We have have the 7k trailer hub part # 42866UC3-EZ which would fit and work great on your current spindle. The bearing numbers may be slightly different but the fit on your spindle is exact same. This also has the same bolt pattern as what you have now too of 8 on 6-1/2 inch.
view full answer... - Replacement Studs for a Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZThe replacement wheel stud you would need for your Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ would be a Wheel Stud # 165995. Also, when you install the wheels onto your hubs you will want to torque them down to spec and then after 50-100 miles you will want to re-tighten them to the specified torque rating to prevent having the studs break in the future.
view full answer... - What is the Grease Seal ID for the Dexter 7K Trailer AxleThe Dexter Axle, # 8327834, uses a 2.25 ID grease seal. This is the case for pretty much all 7K axles out there. You typically see the 2.125 ID seals with 5K to 5.2K axles. If you ever need to replace your hubs in the future, we have the Dexter 7K Hub and Drum Assemblies, # 42866UC3-EZ, that fit this axle. I'm sure you've considered this already, but I like to point it out just in case, another important aspect that you will want to consider when replacing axles is to make sure the spring...

This axle uses a # 25580 inner bearing and # 14125A outer bearing. The grease seal inner diameter should be 2.25" so that matches as well. It has a 7,000 lb capacity and a 5 bolt brake flange configuration. I have attached a review and installation video for your reference.

- Difference Between Hub/Drum # 8-219-4UC3-EZ and # 42866UC3-EZThe only difference between the two hubs is the inside dimension of the grease seal included with the hub drum. The # 42866UC3-EZ uses a 10-36 grease seal with a 2.25 inch inside diameter and the # 8-219-4UC3-EZ uses a 10-10 grease seal that has a 2.125 inside diameter. To determine which is compatible with your existing spindle, you will need to use a digital or dial caliper to measure the surface of the spindle that the grease seal rides against (see diagram).

- Hub And Drum Recommendation For Lippert Trailer 7000k AxleThe Dexter E-Z Lube Hub and Drum assembly that would work for your Lippert axles with the bearing and seal numbers you provided is part # 42866UC3-EZ. This fits 5200 lb to 7000 lb axles that require a 2-1/4 inch ID grease seal. The drum dimensions for this measure 12 inches diameter by 2 inches wide. I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me they do not test fit their hubs and drums on other manufacturer axles. Based on the bearing and race numbers you provided this will work for you.
view full answer... - Can a 6,000 Lb Dexter Drum Be Used On a 5,200 Lb Dexter AxleThe LM67048 (5,200 lb Outer Bearing), 15123 (6,000 lb Outer Bearing), and even 14125A (7,000 lb Outer Bearing) all have the same 1.25" inner diameter so you can use any of them on a 5,200 lb axle. For this, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. If you want to go up to the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern you would need the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 42866UC3-EZ which uses an 14125A outer bearing.
