• Parts Needed to Add Brakes to 3,500 lb Trailer Axle
  Since we know you have 3,500 lb axles we can pretty easily pick out the correct parts you'd need to add brakes to your trailer. You'd need new hubs that have integrated drums like with the part # 84546UC3-EZ which have the very common 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Then you'd need to add matching brake assemblies with the part # AKEBRK-35-SA and you'd be set aside from 10 gauge wiring like part # 10-1-1 which we offer that you'd want to wire up the assemblies with. This is sold by the foot.

• Tips for Removing Races from a Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly
  Are you replacing the races in the hub? I ask because the hubs and hub and drum assemblies we sell come with the races already installed so you would not have to reuse the old ones. Races are difficult to remove but since you have one out already you can go into the opposite side from the race still in the hub and use a wooden rod to drive out the race. I do not recommend using any metal tool (unless it was designed for this application), only wood, because if the inner surface of the...

• Potential Causes for Trailer Hub to Heat Up
  So long as a hub uses the correct bearings that match the dimensions of the spindle that is on the axle there is no worry about using two different brands of products, such as a Dexter hub on a Lippert axle. That in itself is not a concern. When a hub heats up it is usually from either inadequate lubrication or a castle nut that is too tight; you confirmed that neither of these applies in your situation. If the trailer is overloaded with more weight on each hub than they are rated...

• Parts Needed to Add Electric Brakes to Utility Trailer That Currently has Idler Hubs
  The first thing you'll want to do is make sure your axle has a brake mounting flange. If it's a 3500 lb axle, it should have one. Next, you'll want to pull one of your existing hubs and obtain the reference numbers from the inner and outer wheel bearing. Also, examine the grease seal and get the reference number off of that. If you can't read the reference numbers off the bearings or the seal, use a digital caliper to measure the diameter of the spindle where each bearing and the...

• Replacement Brake Drum Hubs and Brake Assemblies for Super Lube or EZ-Lube Spindles
  The Super Lube Axles are made by Tie Down Engineering and the EZ-Lube axles are made by Dexter Axle. They are the same concept by different manufacturers. Some EZ-Lube hubs will fit Super Lube spindles just fine. The spindle dimensions can change by axle capacity, so you will need to determine the bearing sizes and the seal size for the correct fit. If you need help, I've attached a photo to assist and you can use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to get the spindle measurements in...

• Replacement Hub for Enclosed Cargo Trailer with Lippert lc135-d Trailer Axle
  I looked online trying to find any information about the Lippert LC135-D axle, and was not able to find anything.

• Easiest Place to Measure 5 Lug Trailer Hub to Determine Bolt Pattern
  I have an easier way to determine your bolt pattern. You'd need to measure the distance between the center of one stud to the center of the stud adjacent to it. If the distance is: 2-5/8" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2 2-3/4" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4 3" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 5 3-1/4" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2

• Recommended Electric Brake Assemblies for 8-247 Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly
  Based on my research, it looks like the 8-247 hub assemblies on your trailer refer to a Dexter 3,500 pound hub and drum like # 84546UC3-EZ. These hubs feature a 10 inch drum diameter and are 2-1/4 inches wide. With this in mind, the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469 that you were looking at will fit these drums and work great. These are 10 inch x 2-1/4 inch electric brake assemblies that will automatically adjust for optimum performance and braking power. Both...

• Should Trailer Brakes be Put On the Front or Rear Axle of a Tandem Axle Trailer
  You would put the brakes on the forward axle of a tandem axle trailer and not the rear axle if you had to choose one axle. If you are referring to the video, that particular trailer did not have brake mounting flanges on the forward axle or it could be the one we worked on that only needed new parts on the rear axle. Either way traditionally you would put the brakes on the forward axle.

• Determining the Correct Replacement Brakes for a Trailer
  There are a few things you'll need to know before you can find the correct replacement brakes. The first thing is whether or not you have disc brakes or drum brakes, and if they are hydraulic brakes or electric brakes; for electric brakes you'd have a brake controller, but would not if you had hydraulic. Drum brakes will have a hub and drum assembly such as Dexter # 84546UC3-EZ while disc brakes will have a hub and rotor assembly such as Kodiak # K2HR35D. The other information you will...

• Will Trailer Hub and Drum # 84546UC3-EZ Fit an ALKO 3500 Pound Axle
  I read through the other question you sent and I can clear some things up for you. First, the ALKO axle brake mounting flanges have a different bolt pattern than do Dexter or similar assemblies when you go up to a 12 inch brake assembly and that is why they will not fit ALKO axles. The top mounting holes on an ALKO mounting flange are wider than they are on a Dexter. But on a 10x2-1/4 inch brake assembly the 4 bolt pattern should be the same. So you can use other 10x2-1/4 inch assemblies...

• Can a Hub/Drum Be Installed on Axle Without Electric Brake Assembly
  If your trailer axle is not equipped with electric drum brake assemblies like # 23-27 from Dexter you could still have a hub/drum assembly like # 84546UC3-EZ in place, however the inside surface of the drum would likely develop some corrosion from exposure to moisture. If your intention is to install the hub now and later add the electric brake assemblies this would be okay provided that the lack of braking does not bring the trailer into violation of your local laws or present an unsafe...

• Will Changing From Idler Hub to Hub/Drum Change Wheel Offset
  I ran out to the warehouse and pulled one of the # 84546UC3-EZ hub/drums, which I compared with a typical idler hub with 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern for a 3500 lb axle. I found that with both hubs, the distance from the rear seal surface to the front face of the hub where the wheel would ride is 2-1/2 inches. Since I do not know which hub you are currently using, I checked a few other idler hubs, and found that the 2-1/2 inch distance or thickness was the same. Long story short, your...

• How to Select New Brakes and Hubs for a Load Rite Boat Trailer
  The 2,600 lb axles on your Load Rite boat trailer are likely de-rated 3,500 lb axles, so you should have no problem using 3,500 lb brakes and drums. The important factor to consider in this situation is that the brakes match the brake mounting flange on your axle and that the hubs/drums match your spindles. Almost all 3,500 lb brake assemblies require a 4-bolt brake mounting flange. The bolt holes on the brake mounting flange should be 2-7/8 inches apart on center. If your brake mounting...

• Can EZ-Lube Hub and Drums be Used on Non-EZ-Lube Spindles
  This Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly # 84546UC3-EZ will work on your non-ez lube spindles. The only difference between the ez lube hub and drums and the non-ez-lube hub and drums is the grease cap.

The # 84546UC3-EZ will work for you regardless if you have EZ-lube spindles or not. I also attached a video on trailer brake installation for...

• Difference Between Hubs # 84546UC3 and # 84546UC3-EZ and Master Cylinders 23744 and T2374400
  The difference between the two hubs part # 84546UC3 and # 84546UC3-EZ is the grease cap that comes with them.

And the part # 84546UC3 instead has a cap that does not have the center plug that can be removed.
