Install this hub-and-drum assembly on your trailer. For electric or hydraulic brakes. Fits 2,000 axles with BTR spindles. Inner bearing (L44649) and race, outer bearing (L44649) and race, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts included.
Features:
Specs:
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.

Very satisfied with the form, fit, and function of these drums. Very substantial, thicker material and larger overall surface areas as compared to my originals (see attached picture). The trade-off is that they weigh more - increasing dry weight on a small (Hélio O2) tear-drop trailer must be monitored, those added pounds take away from safe and prudent cargo carrying capacity.
I got a set for replacements for our teardrop trailer. They have done well and being of good quality I won't have any worries for our up coming 5ooo mile, 6 week trip.
The staff at eTrailer.com are very helpful and knowledgeable - ask if you're unsure. I originally ordered through the Internet and received the wrong products - because I neglected to ask questions. The return went smooth, but I had to pay for it (my error). The next round arrived well packaged (externally), but there was thin packing tape all over the outside of the hubs and some on the inside rubbing surface of the hubs. It took some doing to get it all off. There was a little rust on the non-contact surfaces of the hub as well as on the brake housing. On the brake housing, you can see some rust in the pic. Looks like it may have been rebuilt. This doesn't seem to have any effect on its operation though. Seals, Races & Bearings are super clean and fit perfectly. I installed these brakes onto the existing '4.5 on 5' flange on a 2000 pound axle (on a 2004 Aliner LX Classic Pop-up trailer). It came with the bolts to attach to the flange, but be sure to order the adjuster grommets, lock washers and 7/16x20 fine thread nuts, since it doesn't come with them. Once I got the wiring set up properly, it works exactly as it should. I prewired the setup prior to delivery. My error was that I assumed the only wire I'd need to run was the blue (brake) wire, but there are two wires on the brake housing as you can see in the picture. Either one goes to the blue (doesn't matter which) and the other attaches to the neutral (white) wire that goes back through the trailer's main wiring harness. Simply attaching the wire to the trailer frame (ground) like I initially did as seen in the picture looked like a good clean setup and easy solution to my one-wire mistake. Unfortunately, it DID NOT WORK. The secondary (neutral) wire must be detected by the tow vehicle's brake controller. Plan ahead and buy the blue and white primary wires (20 feet of 14 or 16 gauge will work) and run them next to each other before hand. Be sure to house the wires in 'plastic split loom tubing' so they don't rub against anything and zip tie them to the frame, so they're not hanging or in the way of anything. Happy braking. :-)
etrailer shipped very fast and had great customer service! The only complaint I have is directed at Dexter for not securely packaging the heavy drums. During shipment two bearing caps and one bearing seal was damaged.
I submitted a review of this item via a prior purchase. When I purchase the first drum I mistakenly assumed I was getting two drums (similar to the 7" Brake Kit Item # 23-47-48 I purchased at the same time). This second review is because I had to buy a second drum separately after realizing my mistake. Note: I recognize this was my mistake - nothing against etrailer, who are and always have been awesome.
I have received the product ordered, but have not installed. Parts received look to be the correct items. Due to bearing problems on our camper during a recent trip I need to replace the hub on one side and will replace the bearing on the opposite side.
Lisa was very helpful with the ordering process, made sure the parts were the correct items, and suggested ways in improve the ordering process. The parts were packaged properly and received without damage. She indicated the parts would be here at a certain time, and they were. The entire ordering process was seamless.
Now if I can just her to install the components, life would be good!

Just finished a 4 thousand mile camping trip without a problem.
etrailer products and service are excellent! With their helpful videos and staff (plus a little help from Curt Manufacturing and our teardrop trailer manufacturer (CampInn)) I was able to install electric brakes on the trailer, and a controller in my vehicle by myself. I had never installed electric brakes before. Everything works perfectly!
Great customer service and delivery. The hubs were exactly we expected and were easy to install and performed perfectly on an 11, 400 mile trip around the USA. I put the hubs w/brakes and controller on an Aspen "Classis" tent trailer being pulled behind a GL 1800 Honda Goldwing and loaded to the max. These products made for a much safer trip and greater peace of mind.
Thanks!
I used these Dexter hub/drum assemblies along with the etrailer branded 7" brake kit to add brakes to my 2015 TAG Max and I couldn't be happier with the performance. etrailer customer service rectified a small issue quickly and professionally. etrailer will be my first stop when looking for trailer supplies in the future.
Drum and brake arrived safe and sound, was well packed, and worked like a champ. I used the shotgun approach for a brake grabbing problem on the right side of my very small motorcycle camper trailer. I tried everything to fix it, needed quick repair to go on a trip, so ordered the whole thing (drum, brakes, bearings incl.).
Glad I did, as there is no more grabbing and overheated drum, AND better gas mileage.
I never found out for sure what the original problem was, but now suspect bearings since they appeared pretty sloppy in their housing. I assume the worn bearings caused the drum to move around on the spindle, causing grabbing from time to time.
Item was exactly what I needed. Installation was smooth and easy.
This drum assembly was perfect for my trailer axle. It came with bearings and seals. The inner seal was damaged during shipping. I called etrailer and they sent me out a replacement in no time at all. Great customer and tech service!
Superb hub and an excellent replacement for my 1997 Coleman Fleetwood Bayports popup camper that I am close to finishing a restoration process on. They fit perfectly! Very happy to purchase an excellent product from the fastest shipper I have ever come across. I am blown away by the professionalism with this company!
Thanks
Great hub, drum and lugs - works great. I had couple of bent lugs and this fixed that issue.

If the wheel studs werent bent from hitting a pothole or road debris, Id recommend checking the loaded weight of the trailer to ensure the axle isnt overloaded.
Great service by Tonya S, when sourcing my product, she was very knowledgeable and helpful with the products I was looking for. Pricing was great, delivery was ahead of schedule, tracking for the delivery was very detailed every step of the way. Thankyou Tonya, would not hesitate reusing etrailer, highly recommend them.
I have come to expect excellent service from etrailer, and this product and prompt service was no exception. I will probably never deal with another company for my trailer parts unless they don't carry what I'm looking for. Keep up the fine work and wonderful service!
Brake Kit was easier to install than I anticipated!! Came with no instructions but etrailers videos were straight forward.
Ordered a hub for my Hoosier pontoon trailer. I have order from trailer in the past and am very satisfied with their customer service and quality products.
7 inch brake assembly and hubs arrived on time, and are already installed. Easy trouble-free. Quality product.
Great product; received one day earlier than promised! Great customer service from Caleb. Fits perfectly on my popup camper.
Package on time, but was open, top cardboard sticking up. Everything seems to still be there. Will hope installing goes OK.
Order received as ordered. Michelle was great contacting me letting me know a part that was ordered would be delayed and found an in stock replacement part.
All parts other than hub were damaged
