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"

Grease cap damaged/unusable and this like dexter item dimensions are all different. So long as the wheels line up and the drum contacts the brakes pad properly I’ll let it ride. And the like new but missing parts drum is damaged and the bearing race is not seated
by: Ren07/29/2023
trailer hub arrived with something that appears to be sand all throughout the assembly. I'm sure it is obvious what sand will do to bearing

I am not sure what happened there. It is the first time I have seen that happen. Customer Service will be in touch with you.

Everybody is completely smashed to pieces. I bought a kit for my store but can not put smashed torn apart boxes on the shelf. Why were these shipped in the box that is to be put on the shelf? Adhesive shipping labels veering descriptions and part quantities.

I am sorry that the hub assemblies were delivered this way. I will share this with our shipping department and will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
by: Christopher C.07/14/2017
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.

Outer bearing #14125A was damaged. Notified Davine at etrailer and emailed her a picture of the damaged bearing. Currently awaiting a response. Everything else in the package was ok.
by: Clayton 03/07/2024
So far so good. Good customer service, boxes were not damaged and arrived within a couple days. Genuine dexter parts and they also helped swapped a backordered part.
by: Lonnie03/06/2024
Parts are good. Service sucks! When I ordered and paid for four of these they were in stock and was to be at my door in three days. Four days later they said they were out of stock and would take another two weeks before they would have them in. Don't order unless you have about three weeks!

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.

Perfect replacement for the factor hubs. Thought I ordered the easy grease hub. A pre-greased one was shipped...NO PROBLEM!!! One less thing I had to do to install. Etrailer will continue to have my business.

SECOND TIME IVE ORDER A HUB ASSEMBLY FOR MY JOB CAME IN EARILER THAN EXPECT & PACKEGED NICELY & EVERYTHING WAS CORRECT!!!!
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.

I havent had to use this Hub as of yet but, just having with me when we travel is comforting.

Matched OEM perfectly

Hub was better than i hoped for the races were already installed just grease the bearings and put it together and they came sooner than expected.I have used etrailer in the past.couldnt be happier
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!

- Does Kenda ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel 8 on 6-1/2 have an OffsetThe wheel in tire and wheel combo # AM32743B is wheel # AM20761B which has a zero offset. This means the mounting surface of the wheel is in the dead center of the wheel. The wheel and tire combo is compatible with hub and drum assembly # 42866UC3-EZ.
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... - Picking Out Trailer Hub and Greasing EZ Lube Spindle Hubs RecommendationThe inner diameter of a grease seal can be hard to determine as the seal is rubber there and hard to get an exact figure. A better way to measure is to use the dial or digital caliper to measure the outer diameter of the spindle on the trailer where the seal rides. If that diameter is 2.125 then the part # 8-219-4UC3-EZ would be compatible there. Based on the seal you have you should have a seal diameter of 2.25 which would mean you would need the # 42866UC3-EZ instead. If the dimension...

This system will work very nicely to replace the axles on your Forest River Fifth Wheel Trailer. As you mentioned, these feature a weight capacity of 7,000 pounds and can provide a little more ground clearance because the 2 independent units can eliminate the need for a thru axle. I do recommend making sure that...
view full answer... - Brake Assemblies and Hub/Drums for 6,000 lb Dexter Trailer AxleFor a set of self-adjusting brake assemblies that fit your 6,000 lb Dexter axle you'd want the part # 23-458-459 and then for hub/drums you'd want the # 42866UC3-EZ for if you have an 8 lug wheel or the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ for if you had a 6 lug wheel.
view full answer... - What Suspension Kit do You Recommend for My 3-Inch Diameter Mobile Home Axles?I have a great solution for your axles. Without knowing the specific setup of your types of axles, with mobile home axles, they are usually a one-time-use setup. Direct replacement parts are unfortunately not available. However, I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/ Brake Flange - Regular Tires - 7K # TASR7KS01. With the Timbrens, you get the benefit of having a suspension system that adjusts independently on each side. If you need hubs that fit the 8...
view full answer... - Can One 7K Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System Replace Two 3.5K Torsion AxlesAs far as capacity goes you could switch out two 3,500 pound axles for one 7K Timbren Axle-less system such as # TASR7KS01. You would have to place the Axle-Less system right in the middle of where the two axles used to be to make sure the trailer load is properly supported. You will also need different hubs, wheels, and tires since everything will need to be rated high enough on just the one axle. The hub and drum assembly that is compatible is # 42866UC3-EZ. If the trailer has hydraulic...
view full answer... - Building a Trailer with Brakes Using EZ Lube Trailer Spindle # R50342EZThe measurement from the inner bearing shoulder to the brake mounting flange is 2-7/8 inches (see photo). This spindle requires a hub that uses inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 14125A, LM67048 or 15123. It also requires a grease seal with an inner diameter of 2.25 inches. If you are using drum brakes, then you could use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 42866UC3-EZ, if your wheels have the 8 on 6-1/2 wheel bolt pattern or you can use part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ for a hub and drum...

- How to Find Correct Replacement Hub for 7,000 lb AxleIn order to find the correct replacement hubs for your 2016 Keystone Raptor, since you already know the weight rating of your axle, you need to know what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you get back to me with that information I'd be happy to try and find the correct hub for you. If you are unable to find...

- Replacement LM11949 Bearings and Leaf Springs For Older Boat TrailerI have another option for you, but the # LM11949 bearing combination your older boat trailer has is obsolete and there are no replacement hubs available any more. If the hubs are still useable you can just replace the bearings with # LM11949 and reuse it, but if the hubs are not useable the only option would be replacing the axle entirely. Assuming the hubs are reusable then for replacement leaf springs the closest option is the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer...
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... - Locating Replacement Hubs for 5,200 Pound AxleWe actually have quite a few trailer hub assemblies for a 5,200 pound axle. In addition to brand and construction, the difference between the available options have to do with the bearing sizes they use, their bolt pattern, and whether they are standard grease or oil bath units. In order to determine the correct replacement hub for your trailer, you will want to pull an existing hub and check for the bearing and grease seal numbers. These numbers should be stamped right inside the bearings...

- How to Tell if Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit Will Fit a 2008 KZ Sportster 40P Toy HaulerAs long as your current hubs use the following bearings and grease seal, the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator # HYD54FR will work for your trailer: - Inner bearing 25580 - Outer bearing 14125A - Grease Seal 2.250" ID and 3.376" OD This also uses 9/16" studs so you'll need to ensure this matches your current setup. For drum brake alternatives you'll need the following for a hydraulic actuator: - 7K Uni-Servo # T2351300-200 OR Duo-Servo # 23-336-337 - Hub and Drum Kit # 42866UC3-EZ This...
view full answer... - Recommended 12" Hub And Drum With An 8 On 6-1/2 Bolt PatternHubs with the # 25580 inner bearing and # 15123 outer bearing will be rated for 5,200 to 6,000 pound axles, so they will not use the 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. However, the # 15123 bearing has a 1.250" inner diameter, which is the exact same as the # 14125A bearing. Using the # 25580 inner bearing and # 14125A outer bearing means you have a 7,000 pound axle capacity and the 12" Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 7K lb E-Z Lube Axle # 42866UC3-EZ will have the needed 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern....

- What Size are the Studs for the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZThe studs on the trailer hub and drum assembly # 42866UC3-EZ, are 1/2 inch-20. The assembly comes with lug nuts, bearings, grease seal, and a dust cap. The bolt pattern is 8 on 6-1/2. If you needed the same hub and drum assembly but with the 9/16 inch studs, use # 8-219-13UC3.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub Recommendation for Lippert 6,000 lb AxleYes, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-219-4UC3-EZ that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your Lippert 6k axle that you mentioned but you'll need to verify the grease seal dimension on your spindle. You'll need yours to measure 2.125 inches for this hub to fit. If instead you measure 2.25 you'll need the hub # 42866UC3-EZ instead as it comes with the correct seal for that dimension.

- How To Upgrade a Dexter D60 Axle To Use 8 on 6-1/2 Inch HubsIn order to upgrade to the 8 on 6-1/2" lug pattern on your Dexter D60 Axle you will need to use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-219-4UC3-EZ or the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 42866UC3-EZ. The former uses a 2.125" grease seal whereas the latter uses a 2.25" grease seal.

When you get the hub/drum pulled off, be sure to inspect the inside armature surface of the drum that the brake magnet rides against. If it's pitted or grooved, you'll want to replace the brake drums as well. For a 6-bolt, use # 42866UC3-EZ or # 8-201-9UC3-EZ for an 8-bolt. The hub/drums...

What I recommend is etrailer brake set # AKEBRK-7-SA because they will work on Dexter axles, they are also self-adjusting, the cost less, and the shoe pad material is actually physically cut to the proper size rather than snapped off of a long sheet like other brakes (which leads to cracks and chips at the edges of the pad material).

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...
