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

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!

- How to Select the Correct Hub and Drum for TrailerI am attaching a picture that you can use to see where you will need to measure your spindle. You will want to use a Caliper # PTW80157 to make sure that you are as accurate as possible when taking these measurements. Once you know the size of your spindle you can then pick our a hub and drum assembly that uses the correct bearing and seal sizes that you will need. The Dexter Axle Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ that you referenced comes with bearings and the seal found in...

- Interchangeability of # LM67048 and # 14125A Wheel BearingsAlthough both the # LM67048 and the # 14125A bearings might have the same inner diameter of 1.25 inches, they aren't interchangeable. Both bearings are compatible with a different race or bearing cone. The races have a different outside diameter, so you wouldn't be able to simply swap out the race to change to the other bearing. Both bearings are also rated for a different weight capacity. The # 14125A bearing is rated for a 7000 lb axle, while the # LM67048 is rated for a 5200 or 6000...

These hubs include new bearings, races, seals, grease cap, and lug nuts so you will have everything needed to get them installed. If you find the brakes are in need of replacement as well then we have the Dexter # 23-180-181. I included videos of the products mentioned for...

- Replacement Hub and Brake Assemblies for Lippert 7k AxleThe Dexter E-Z Lube Hub and Drum assembly that would work for your Lippert axles with the bearing and seal numbers you provided is part # 42866UC3-EZ. This fits 5200 lb to 7000 lb axles that require a 2-1/4 inch ID grease seal. The drum dimensions for this measure 12 inches diameter by 2 inches wide. I would recommend new drums like this unless yours happen to be in great condition still. We had a customer give us the bearing numbers of their Lippert 7k hub and they were # 14125A and...
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Hub Replacement For Hubs With 25580 and 14125A BearingsThanks for that information, and I can tell you that the 1.750 bearing is # 25580 and the 1.250 bearing is most likely # 14125A. While that is most of the information needed, you also need to know your axle capacity as well as the grease seal, or it's inner diameter. If you don't have this you can measure the spindle where the seal rides to find out. The most likely hubs for you are the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 42866UC3-EZ or the Dexter...
view full answer... - Should Grease Be Added to EZ Lube Trailer Hubs if the Bearings were Manually Packed with GreaseOn EZ lube hubs and axles you would want to add grease until it is full (when you see it flow out). When that happens it indicates that the proper amount of grease is in the hub. Having the bearings packed and the little bit of grease you have added is probably fine but it is better to be safe and fill 'em up!
view full answer... - Recommended Drums For Hayes Axle On 1983 Carriage Conestoga Fifth Wheel TrailerThere are a couple things going on you can check. First, your shoes may be adjusted out too far and that is what is causing the fit issue with the drum. You will want to adjust the brakes so that they are not expanded as much and see if that helps. If you are going to replace the drums you will need to know the bearing and seal sizes that fit your spindles. I have attached a photo that shows where the numbers can be found on your old bearing and seal and make sure they are a match with...

- Hub and Drum, Brakes, and Tire and Wheel Combos for Timbren 7K Axle-Less SuspensionSince your trailer weighs 4,800 pounds dry, when loaded it will weigh more. But if its final weight when loaded and ready to tow is far enough from the 7,000 pound capacity of the Timbren Axle-Less system # TASR7KS01 it could have a stiff ride. Other than that there isn't a reason why it could not be used. The recommended hub and drum assembly for this system is # 42866UC3-EZ. And for trailer brakes I recommend # 23-106 for the right and # 23-105 for the left. I have included a couple...
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.

- Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies that Fit 6k Dexter Axle 8327826Yes we offer hub/drums with an 8 lug bolt pattern that fit the Dexter Axle part # 8327826 you referenced. The hub you mentioned part # 42866UC3-EZ will fit and then for brake assemblies you'd want the # AKEBRK-7-SA for a set of self adjusting assemblies. The hubs come with bearings as well.
view full answer... - How Tight Should the Spindle Nut be on a Trailer HubWhen installing the castle nut on the end of the spindle, there is no specific torque rating but it sounds like your might be a little too loose. The nut is ran down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then backed off to the next notch in the castle nut so the tang washer or cotter pin can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. If you click on the video link I provided, and fast forward to the 4:45 minute mark, you can...
view full answer... - Switching to the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System On a Keystone Montana 5th Wheel TrailerThe Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # TASR7KS01 would work great on a Keystone Montana. It's going to improve the ride quality without question, both on and off-road. The built-in alignment will help save your tires from issues like uneven wear and it will make upkeep with the trailer much more manageable so no replacing the flattened leaf springs every few years. In regards to capacity, this may be a bit of an upgrade just keep in mind there are other factors that going...

The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. It sounds like you have the common 8 lug trailer wheel bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2 inch. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out.

- Lug Nuts for 7K Dexter AxleWe have many styles and sizes of trailer wheel lug nuts shown on the linked page. These are offered in either 60-degree or 90-degree coned profile, in zinc, chrome or stainless and for four different wheel stud diameters. Just click on the feature to see the products with that attribute. Most 7K hubs like Dexter # 42866UC3-EZ do use 1/2-inch wheel studs but we have lug nuts for 9/16-inch studs too, like # 6-53.

He stated that the serial number you found is a pretty old number and unfortunately they don't have much information on this particular axle. He was not able to confirm its rating or length. If you are looking to replace the axle, we do not have any torsion axles available but I do have a great option. I recommend taking a look at an Axle-Less System like the Timbren # TASR7KS01. This 7.000 pound system will provide...

- Does Trailer Wheel Hub/Brake Drum Need to Be Replaced if Inside Surface is GroovedBecause the face of the magnet rides against the armature (inside) surface of the brake drum, any grooves that had previously been worn into the armature surface will cause the magnet to wear unevenly.
