E-Z Lube-Compatible Hub 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.


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"

  • Dexter Torflex #9 1000-2200 lbs Axle Hub and Bearing Kit Replacements
    The current hub for your Torflex #9 axle uses the inner and outer bearings # L44649 with a grease seal that has a 1.500" inner diameter. You can find the bearing kit as part # BK1-150 on our site. For a replacement hub we have the part # 8-91-05UC1 for a standard spindle or part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ for E-Z Lube spindles. If you have brakes then you would want part # 8-173-16UC3 for a standard spindle or part # 8-173-16UC3-EZ for E-Z Lube spindles. All of these hub kits come with bearings and...

  • Replacement Axle for Harbor Freight Trailer
    In order to find a replacement axle for your Harbor Freight trailer you will need to take some measurements to determine the correct axle length. The most important measurement is the distance from hub face to hub face. Additionally, you can measure the spring center distance. When replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and these measurements. If you provide...

  • Brake Drum for a Reliable 2,700 Pound Trailer Axle
    If the spindles on your Reliable 2,700 pound axle are straight (same diameter in both bearing locations) then that indicates that it uses L44649 inner and outer bearings but if the spindles are tapered (inner bearing surface diameter is larger than the outer bearing surface diameter) then it will use L68111 for the inner bearing and L44649 for the outer. If you pull a hub off and find that both bearings are L44649 you can use # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K if there are grease fittings at the ends...

  • How To Determine Axle Capacity of Trailer with 4 Lug Hubs with Brakes
    The only way to know for sure is to check your bearings. That being said, the most common 4-bolt configuration is a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, which are typically found on 2,000 lb to 2,700 lb trailer axles. The only 4 on 4 bolt pattern hub and drum assemblies we carry are for 2,200 lb axles and use # L44649 inner/outer bearings. See below. Compatible with 7 inch x 1-1/4 inch electric and hydraulic brakes # 8-173-16UC3 - Includes bearings, races, grease seal, standard grease cap and lug nuts. #...

  • Adding a Brake Axle to a 48 Inch Wide Home Made Travel Trailer on Harbor Freight Frame
    What you could do is use an axleless system # A35RS545E which comes with everything except a brake controller. The only issue is that you would need to also replace the tires and wheels with something like # TA73RR since the kit has a 5 bolt pattern and your trailer has a 4 on 4 pattern. We don't have a straight axle with the proper spring hanger spacing for the trailer. But you could potentially use # T20BTR-6048 and have a professional welded cut off the spring seats and weld on new...

  • Can Electric Trailer Brakes be Added to a Harbor Freight Kit Trailer
    Neither of those Harbor Freight trailers has brake mounting flanges on the spindles. To add electric brakes you would have to have brake mounting flanges welded on. This is a precision job that requires a special jig and someone with experience in welding on flanges. I have included a link to the flanges we carry to the right. You would also need to replace the idler hubs on the trailer(s) with hub and drum assemblies. The problem with that is the Harbor Freight trailers use uncommon bearings...

  • Recommended Electric Brake Set Up for a Trailer w/ a 2,200 lbs Axle
    To add electric brakes to your 2,200 lbs axles you are going to need the parts listed below. There is only one size hub for electric drum brakes on 2,200 lbs axles. It has a 4 on 4 lug pattern and fits # L44649 inner and outer bearings.

  • Replacement Hub Options For a Spindle With 1-1/4 Inner Bearing and 7/8 Outer Bearing
    I have a recommendation as we do not have any hubs that will use the bearing combination you have. I recommend replacing your spindles with the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU27FR. This will upgrade you to a more commonly found spindle size that use the same Inner and Outer Bearing # L44649. You will be able to use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K. Since the spindle and hub are easy lube you will be able to fill the hub with Grease # L11465 and a Grease Gun # L30416....

  • Recommendation to Replace Brakes and Hub/Drum on a 1976 Apache Royal Camper
    Hey Shawn, thanks for reaching out! Industry standards with trailer parts didn't start to become a thing until about the 1990's which is why you're having such a hard time finding replacement parts. The best solution would be to have a welder cut off and replace your spindles with the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange # TRU27FR and then you can replace the brakes with part # AKEBRK-2 and the hub/drum with part # 8-173-16UC3-EZ. I know it's not ideal but the only alternative is to...

  • Adding Brakes to a 2015 Jayco Jay Sport 8SD
    If you want parking brakes for your 2015 Jayco Jay Sport 8SD then you do want to go with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-103-104-00. Parking brakes aren't required so if you would rather use standard brakes then you can use the part # 23-47-48 that you referenced instead. If your spindles don't already have the brake mounting flanges then you need those, like part # 4-34, as well. Please note that if you haven't had brakes on your trailer yet then you also need hub and drum...

  • Can Electric Brakes Be Added to Dexter 2,200lb Capacity Idler Axle
    Brake mounting flanges like part # 4-34 could be welded to the axle you referenced. The spindles are compatible with the L44649 wheel bearings. If you needed a hub with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, use the # 8-173-16UC3-EZ hub drum and the # 23-47 and # 23-48 brake assemblies. You'd also need 4 nuts # 6-17 and # 5-8 lock washers per brake assembly. If you needed a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, go with the # 8-257-5UC3-EZ hub drum along with the brake assemblies and hardware mentioned above.

  • Recommended Lug Nut Torque Specs for Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly
    When installing the lug nuts on the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-173-16UC3-EZ you should follow lug nut torque specs and not lug bolt torque specs. For this assembly you will want to torque the lug nuts between 75 and 85 foot lbs according to the attached spec sheet. You will also want to use the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 7" - Left Hand # 23-47 and Right Hand # 23-48. Along with these, I recommend the 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box # HS381-9000 and ring...

    The American-Made Dexter # K23-103-104-00 brake assemblies would be absolutely the correct application for your Viking Pop-Up. The brake assemblies are compatible with 12 inch wheels used by your 145R80 tires. The installation is pretty easy if you're moderately handy. The video I've linked for you will provide an overview of what's involved. The video shows a larger brake assembly being installed, but the procedure for a 7 inch assembly would be pretty similar.

  • Selecting Electric Drum Brakes for 1998 Fleetwood Coleman Pop-Up Camper Trailer
    Since your camper's axle already has brake mounting flanges on it selecting brakes just means confirming the axle weight rating and the mounting bolt pattern on the brake flanges. Most of the 1998 Coleman pop-up campers have dry weights close to or a bit higher than 2000-lbs so there is a good chance your axle rating is 3500-lbs. You can check the axle's identification sticker or plate to make sure so that your chosen brakes have the appropriate stopping power. You can also check with Fleetwood...

  • Parts Needed to Swap Hydraulic Brakes to Electric Brakes on a 1998 Jayco Eagle 12 UDK
    We can definitely get you the parts needed to swap over to electric brakes, but the 2,500 pound hydraulic brakes will end up being a different size than their electric counterparts. With that being said, the etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies # AKEBRK-2 will technically only be rated to 2,000 pounds, but the 4 bolt pattern on the backing plate will bolt directly to your axle.

These both come with bearings and seals as well. For brake assemblies you'd want the part # 23-47 for the left hand side and # 23-48 for the right hand side and you'd be set.

A 4" x 4" E-Z Lube Axle # 8-173-16UC3-EZ or standard axle hub # 8-173-16UC3 will work but make sure that your hubs use the # L44649 inner and outer bearing to make sure these hubs are correct for your Aluma Trailer.

    First and foremost, thank you for your service to our country. It is greatly appreciated.
