• Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly For Older Drum Marked HD-1206
  The HD-1206 number you found on your drum cross references to the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-5 which is a 12" x 2" drum with the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern you mentioned but has wheel studs instead of holes for wheel bolts. The # 8-201-5 requires inner bearing # 25580, outer bearing # LM67048, grease seal # RG06-090, and grease cap # RG04-080 as these are not included. I included a video of the # 8-201-5 for you to take a look at.

• Minimum Size Wheel Pilot Diameter that Fits 5,200 lb Dexter 6 Lub Hub
  The maximum hub bore measurement for the 5,200 LB or 6,000 LB Dexter hub and drum assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ is 3.622 inches. So a wheel with center bore of 3-3/4 inches would fit.

• Replacement Axle Needed for Lippert 5,200 lbs Axle with Serial Number 045-001684271
  I do have a solution for you, however when I spoke with my contact at Lippert they said that your axle is rated for 5,200 lbs and the highest rated standard axles that we have are rated for 3,500 lbs. The alternative solution that we have is the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension # ASR5200S01. This system is rated for 5,200 lbs and can be used as a single axle or you can use 2 for a tandem axle trailer. There are a few great things about the Timbren system. It increases ground clearance since...

• Parts Needed to Upgrade Trailer Axles and Suspension to 5,200 lbs
  If you are wanting to replace your axles with traditional axles then the first step would be to find what your Hub Face (A) and Spring Center (B) measurements will need to be (see attached picture). From there you will need to mock up your trailer to determine what size you need of the following items: 4 - Double-eye springs 2 - Front hangers 2 - Center hangers 2 - Rear hangers 2 - Equalizers 8 - Shackle straps 14 - Shackle bolts 4 - Spring seats (if needed) 4 - U-bolt sets (8 U-bolts) 4...

• How to Tell if Dexter Hub and Drum Will Fit a 2006 Raytheon M1101 and Work with FJ Cruiser Wheels
  Hey Efrain, thanks for the photos! From what I'm seeing it does look like the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ bearings will fit, you'll just want to make sure your spindle measures 2.125" where the grease seal rides in order for this to properly fit. If your FJ Cruiser has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern then the wheel should fit just fine on this but you'll need to make sure your trailer fenders and frame will still have enough clearance and won't be rubbing during travel.

• Replacing the Axle on a Gooseneck Horse Trailer
  An axle flip kit like part # K71-384-00 will raise the trailer the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring pack. I do have options for you but rotating the axle to where the bend faces the other direction is not one of them. The bend in the axle will actually straighten out once a load is placed on the trailer and if this was reversed, the axle would lose capacity. Now from this point forward you have two options both of which entail replacing the axle. Since your current...

• Can Trailer Hubs Be Used On A Mobile Home Axle?
  Hey Matt, thanks for reaching out. We may have a bearing or two that match your ID measurements, but we do not have a hub that uses the bearing sizes you mentioned. The 1.378” inner bearing, part # L68149 is a fairly common bearing, but this is generally used with the 1.063" ID # L44649 bearing. Mobile home axles are designed for one-time use applications, and meant to be discarded after that. They do not use standard bearing combinations or hub sizes that most trailers use. I wish we...

• Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies to Use with Timbren Axle Less Kit HD For 3,500 lb Axles
  Hey Michael, the correct hub/drum to use with the Timbren kit part # ASR35HDS05 would be the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Then for brakes you'd want the part # AKEBRK-7-SA. The hubs mentioned have a 6 lug bolt pattern, do you have wheels and tires already?

• Parts Needed for Adding Electric Brakes to Trailer with Bearings LM67048 25580
  For a new hub/drum that will work great with your current axles you'd want the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ and then for brake assemblies you'd want the # AKEBRK-7-SA which are self-adjusting. To wire up the brakes you'd need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. Then leaf springs the part # e34SR would work really well too. Then for a U-bolt kit you'd want the part # APUBR-8. For new shackles I'd need you to get me the length of the ones you have now though. Measured from...

• Upgrading from D35 Dexter 3,500 Lb Axle to 5,200 Lb Timbren Axle-Less Suspension
  Technically, there isn't a reason why you couldn't replace your Dexter 3,500 lb axle with a higher-rated one. That being said, that doesn't automatically increase your trailer's weight capacity. You would still be limited by the lowest-rated component and that can be something other than the axle, such as the trailer's frame. If you reach out to the trailer manufacturer, they should be able to tell you which is the lowest rated component on your trailer. Now, in order to convert to the...

• What is Difference Between Dexter Hubs # # 8-201-9UC3-EZ and # 8-201-5UC3-EZ
  The only differences between the two hubs you mentioned # 8-201-9UC3-EZ and # 8-201-5UC3-EZ are that the 8-201-5UC3-EZ is not pre-greased and the other is and they have different bearing between the two. But the bearings both have the same inner diameter so it really doesn't matter much. So if I were you Robert I would go with the pre-greased part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. The bearings that come with both are from China.

• Recommended Replacement Axles For Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  As long as the frame itself can handle the additional weight, you would need to upgrade all of the other components under that weight capacity including the coupler. I recommend using the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension - Spindle Only - Regular Tires - 5200 lbs # ASR5200S01. This will allow your to simply remove the existing suspension and axles and add a cross beam or add a piece of 2x3 inch tubing between the axles in the integrated holes. With these spindles, you can use the Trailer...

• Axle Recommendation for Trailer Carrying 9,000 Lbs
  Since you mention that your trailer will max out 9,000 pounds, which I assume includes the weight of the trailer frame and all cargo, I recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension, # ASR5200S01. I spoke with my shop manager regarding whether he felt using the 5,200 pound axles would be overkill. He strongly recommends going with an axle that has a higher capacity than the amount of weight that you plan to carry and feels that the 5,200 capacity axles would be a good choice....

• 6 Lug Hub Recommendation with Bearings LM67048 and 25580

• Replacement Grease Seal for Hadco LA370R 6 On 5-1/2 Hub
  We don't offer a grease seal that would have the proper outer diameter to work with your Hadco Hubs, but we might have a solution that would allow you to upgrade your existing hub/drums so they're compatible with easily obtainable grease seals. If your Airsteam uses a standard 12 inch brake assembly like # 23-106, you can replace your hubs using # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which uses the readily available 10-10 grease seal. The hub/drum is compatible with the 25580 inner and LM67048 outer bearing...

• Do 3,500 lb Trailer Axles and 5,200 lb Axles Use Same Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies
  The hub/drum/brake assembly components are a totally different size between a 3,500 lb axle and a 5,200 lb axle. You can easily swap to the 5,200 lb axle like the part # 8327816 but you will need new hub/drums like the # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which has a 12 inch diameter (3,500 lb setups are 10 inch), and then for brake assemblies # 23-464-465 for a left and right hand side. This setup will require wheels that have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern which you may or may not already have.

• Troubleshooting 2018 Pacific Coachworks SeaBreeze 16BB Trailer Wheel Clearance
  In order for them to give it a 4,200 lb capacity rating, the weakest component on the trailer has to be able to withstand that capacity so you most likely have a 4,200 lb axle. We do have the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 which will allow you to raise your trailer by the axle diameter plus the leaf spring stack. That will gain you the wheel well clearance. If you want to replace your axles and springs, I need to know some information on the measurements....

• Replacement Recommendation for Dexter Axle 8-201 Hub Assembly on Older Horse Trailer
  We've got you covered! To replace your wheel bolts you need the Dexter Wheel Bolt # 7-262 which is a 1/2" diameter and 2-11/16" long. Since your hub and drum assembly looks to be pretty worn though I recommend just replacing the whole thing so you have completely new bearings and a seal as well. To replace the whole drum assembly you'll need part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ. The bearings that come with this kit match your application (I checked with my contact at Dexter Axle) but you will want to...

• Replacement for 4,400 lb Axle on 2018 Jayco White Hawk
  What you have is an 86" long axle with a 4,400 lb capacity. Since 4,400 lb axles are no longer being produced, you will need an axle with a higher capacity for a replacement. I recommend the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e45GR. This axle is 86-1/2" long so it will stick out an additional 1/4" on each side but that won't be a problem. The spring seat measurement is also different. This means you will need to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your current...

• Meaning of MTI Number On Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly
  The MTI number on your 8-201 hubs is simply a casting number. It does not indicate any information about the hubs or have anything to do with the actual part number. I'm not surprised to hear you have different outer bearings between the two since there are variations of the 8-201. However, both should have the same inner diameter of 1.25" so it won't make a difference for fitment. For example, the # 8-201-5UC3-EZ for 5,200 lb axles and # K08-201-9B for 6,000 lb axles are both 8-201 hubs...

• Replacement Hub for 5,200 lb Axle on 2021 Grand Design Reflection
  Hi Mark; the 8-201 designation fits a lot of different Dexter hubs. Most of the other numbers designate what the hubs come with such as the bearings and grease cap. Since the # 15123 and # LM67048 share the same inner diameter they both fit your spindle. The hub having a higher rating wont' make any difference. For a hub that comes with the # LM67048 outer bearing and is specifically rated for a 5,200 lb axle you can use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ. This also...

• Are the Brakes that Come with the Dexter 6K Axle # 8327820-EB Self-Adjusting?
  While we do have the self-adjusting brakes you need to purchase, the # 23-106 and # 23-105 that come with the Dexter Trailer Axle - 6K # 8327820-EB are manual adjusting. In order to have the same setup with self-adjusting brakes, you need the following parts: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 6,000 lbs # 8327830 - Brake Mounting Bolt for 12" Brake Assembly # 7-5 - LocTite Hyper Lube # LOC54FR - Dexter 12" Hub/Drum # 8-201-5UC3-EZ - Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric...

• Timbren Axle-Less System, Hub Drums and Brake Assembly Recommendation for a Travel Trailer
  All of the parts you referenced would work well together. The Timbren Axle-Less system part # ASR5200S04 that you referenced would have more than enough capacity as it has a 5,200 lb per axle capacity. I would recommend you reinforce the frame around where the axles will be for added strength. The brake hubs # 8-201-5UC3-EZ would fit the axles and the brake assemblies # 23-459 and # 23-458 would fit those hubs and the brake flanges of the Timbren.
