Thoroughly Tested for Safety

This hub-and-drum assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This assembly has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.


E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-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 or etrailer Easy Grease 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"

Yikes that sounds like quite of bit of damage to the box. I will have our Customer Service team contact you so that we can have the missing parts shipped out.

great service

Upgraded my hubs and added electric brakes to my Aliner. As usual with etrailer, great product and even better customer service. I originally ordered the wrong size and etrailer worked with me to determine the correct size for my trailer. They then sent out the new parts and gave me a full refund on returned parts. New hubs and brakes work flawlessly.



by:

etrailer.com needs to change up their website to ask you to select the bearing size you need for this product upon adding it to your cart. This mistake is ultimately on me, but I think the site could improve the shopping experience by making the user select the proper bearing size.

I ordered two of these hubs and it came with a bearing that was 0.05 too small. I asked to exchange and they told me that the only ones they had in stock with the bearing I needed were 80 bucks more (each).

I asked to return them. Sure, no problem, that'll be $[XX] to send them back.

So my advice is to choose wisely when you order and make sure you have the right bearings.

I ended up putting my old bearings in the new hubs. Perhaps etrailer.com could have just swapped the bearings for me as an alternative



by:

Needed to add brakes to my trailer to meet the specs of our vehicle's towing capacity. These hubs were one of many purchase required to make that happen.

It's been a year and they've been working as expected.

Super easy to install, well made produc ts.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums

  • What Size Brake Assemblies Will Fit with 12 inch Diameter Wheels
    Since you have 12 inch wheels you would have to go with a smaller hub/drum to fit underneath them. The standard size that would fit under a 12 inch rim is 7 x 1-3/4 like the part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which fits most 2k axles. But first we need to figure out what spindles you have on your trailer so that we can determine which hub/drum would fit and then build from there. The # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K would work if the bearings in your current hub are both L44643. If you check out the link I attached...

  • Dimensions of Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K
    The inner diameter of the hub and drum assembly, part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K, is 7 inches. It fits a standard 7 inch brake. The surface the brake pad contacts is 2-1/4 inches wide.

  • Do Hubs/Drums Comes with the 7" Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit
    The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-47-48 does not come with hubs/drums. If you would like to add these as well you'd need the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K for L44649 (1.063") or part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K for L44643 (1") bearings. These are a great cost effective pairing which will work well with these brakes.

  • How Wide is the Braking Surface on the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K
    The braking surface on the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K is 2-1/4" wide. I went out to our warehouse to confirm this for you. If you need a set of braking assemblies to use with them, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2. These assemblies have pads that are 1-1/4" wide though you could use larger should you need to do so.

    Thanks for all of the info! It looks like you have a BT8 spindle so that's the type of replacement hubs you need.

We have several options in this size hub/drum that are displayed on the linked page; all have the 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern and all are rated for 2K axles. We have hubs for both standard spindles and also for EZ-Lube spindles. All you need to do to select the correct replacement hub/drum is confirm which bearing is used in yours.

  • Replacement Hub and Tire/Wheel for a 2K Boat Trailer Axle
    I do have hub and tire/wheel options for your application but unfortunately the dimensions you're needing for your boat trailer axle aren't close to standard measurements so you're looking at a custom order through your local trailer shop. With that being said, I'll go ahead and make some recommendations for hubs and tire/wheel combos so you'll be set once you get your axle. I do recommend making sure that your trailer shop gets an axle that matches the bearing and seal specs that I'm...

  • What is the Difference Between the 1k and 2k Hubs for EZ Lube Axles
    The difference between the # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K and # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K is what bearing is used, and they are not interchangeable. If your spindle uses an # L44643 bearing in the hubs then you'll need the 1k, and if your hub uses the # L44649 then you'll need the 2k.

Here are the parts you need to replace your electric brakes and hub/drum assembly: - Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-2 (comes as a pair) - Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K (comes as a single unit) To upgrade to a 10" brake assembly we'll...

  • Can 7" X 1-1/4" Electric Drum Brakes Replace 7" X 1-1/2" Electric Drum Brakes?

Our current 7" Hubs # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K are designed to work with both the 1-1/4" wide or 1-3/4" wide brake assemblies.

The Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K includes the 1-1/16" inner diameter Bearings # L44649.

  • Parts Needed to Add Brakes to a Trailer with 2,000 lb Axle Spindles
    Since the spindles you have installed are BT8 2,000 lb axle spindles without brake mounting flanges you are going to need the hubs part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which you'll notice has a 5 bolt wheel bolt pattern. This is because the 4 bolt pattern isn't available with a hub/drum. Then for brake assemblies you'd want the set # AKEBRK-2, for brake flanges part # 4-34, and then for new wheels I attached a link to a page that has everything we offer with the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

  • How To Choose Correct Electric Brakes for Boat Trailer with 13" Wheels
    The correct brakes and hubs/drums will be chosen based on the axle capacity. If the trailer came with 13" wheels then it likely has a 2,000 lb or 2,200 lb axle, not 3,500 lbs. If you have a 2,000 lb or 2,200 lb axle then I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K. The axle capacity can be verified by checking the axle tag or pulling the hubs and reading the bearing numbers.

  • What Do I Need to Install Electric Brakes on My Boat Trailer with Weight Capacity of 2232
    With a single axle trailer rated for 2232 lbs. you have either a 3500 lbs. or something closer to a 2000 lbs. axle. Before purchasing anything you need to determine the correct one which you can easily do by checking the bearings once you have the trailer. If your outer and inner bearings are both # L44643 that means you have a 2000 lbs. axle and need 7 inch brakes. Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-2L and # AKEBRK-2R and the Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K are what you need. If your...

  • Hub/Drums to Go Along with etrailer 2k Electric Drum Brake 7 inch
    The Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7 - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs # AKEBRK-2 is a kit in a sense because it comes with a left and right hand brake assembly. Since these aren't always bought with hub/drums they aren't included. It's pretty common for the assemblies to wear out before the hub/drums do. So then for a hub/drum that does have the bearings and seals included you'd want the part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which is sold individually.

    Your 20.5 x 8 - 10 tire, or also stated as 205/65-10 is compatible with 7 inch brake assemblies, like # AKEBRK-2. You'll also want to examine the armature surface of the brake drums where the brake magnet rides. If this surface is pitted and/or has grooves worn in it, you'll want to replace the drums as well. If your hubs use a L44649 inner and outer bearing and have a 4 bolt lug pattern, use # 8-173-16UC3. If you have a 5 lug with L44649 bearings, use # AKHD-545-2-2K or for L44643 bearings,...
