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.
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"

axeltech brake drums seem to be sufficient. Although different from the OEM. Some of the issues where shipping. UPS damages every box from etrailer. So far anyways.
by: Christopher05/11/2023
Dimensions are different but may line ok. Grease cap damaged
by: Michael05/24/2023
Bought 4 hubs for my trailer and every single box was destroyed and the dust/grease caps were all bent. 4/4 were so bent they were unusable. I had 4 spares I keep in the toolbox luckily or I would’ve been waiting for more parts. Hubs are great but packaging/delivery/dust caps very poor
by: Daniel07/06/2023
Although not as robust (heavy) as the original Dexter hub and drum it fit perfectly and the manufacturing quality was acceptable.
However, I suggest stronger packaging as the package the drum was delivered in was damaged, and fortunately the drum was not.
by: Mark06/02/2023
They were a perfect fit on my 7000 lb Dexter axle. Liked that they came fully greased and ready to slide right on. Some of the dust covers were bent and unusable but the mix of new and old covers I got the job done. I would recommend them to anyone who has the proper axle fit. Will buy again when I need them again in the future.
by: Darin02/11/2023
Bought these to save myself time by getting pre packed drums. When they arrived, I found several problems. They come with plastic caps to cover openings. The inside cap came off on all 4 and spread grease on the inside of all the drums. The outside cap came off on 2 allowing the outside bearing to come out and spread grease everywhere inside. The other two outside bearings were not packed.
Not happy with this purchase. Ended up spending an hour cleaning and packing bearings.

I appreciate the explanation but I am not referring to the dust caps that are installed. I am talking about the shipping grease plugs they installed to prevent the greased bearings from coming out during shipping

My mistake! I read the review as having installed the hubs and then experienced the issues. I will have my Customer Service team reach out as yes, those PLUGS should also not come loose in shipping. I am sorry it was a mess to clean up.

This was an absolute perfect fit. Gwen was amazing with her product knowledge and patience with me. I am a DIY'er and had no clue as to what I was looking at! Gwen walked me through step by step on how to make sure we had the correct product! This was an amazing experience! Thank you Gwen!!
by: Keith03/28/2021
Nice to have the bearings packed and seal already in. The only thing is the drum looks to not be as heavily built as the Dexter drum that came off my 5th wheel! The new one does not have the cooling fins on the drum like the Dexter does! In time i will see if its as good as the Dexter!
by: Jon M.06/10/2017
Excellent company to work with. As with previous orders, fast, FREE shipping is always appreciated.
Items arrived exactly as described, properly packaged, in unblemished condition.
All parts included for installation, WITH THE EXCEPTION of the cotter pins for the axle nut(s). Those are easily found at the local hardware store, but would have been nice to have new ones with the package of new parts. Definitely recommending your business to family and friends. Thanks again!!

So I have never used it because I bought it so I would have a spare in the event I broke down on the highway. As for the quality it’s as good as the major brand that is twice as expensive. I wouldn’t have a problem buying another one when I need it .

Troy, the service rep that I dealt with on my most recent order from etrailer.com, did a fantastic job helping me identify the exact parts I needed to replace the wheel bearings and brake assemblies on my 40 foot Big Horn 5th Wheel. I believe the prices were very reasonable and the service was faster than I expected. Thanks Troy, and I'll definitely recommend etrailer.com as a super place to get your trailer repair parts and accessories.

First step was the ordering, Talked to Steve and he was very well versed on what I needed. He gave me his direct line so after I got my bearing #’s and call back it took only minutes to finalize the order. I ordered on Wednesday and received everything on Friday. Wow, Great service. Doubled checked all the items and everything was perfect. Buying the assembly is the way to go. Very quick install. Great experience.
by: Jayman08/01/2020
I put these hubs on my trailer with new brake assemblies.
Next working day approximately 15 miles my right rear wheel and tire go spinning off into the woods and I'm leaving a trail of sparks.
All five lugs had snapped off,wheel was gone forever and I had to unload my Bobcat,go put on one of the old hubs and the spare.
So I will
Not be purchasing again.

- etrailer Hub and Drum Assemblies For 7,000LB Axle With 1/2" Wheel StudsThe Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-865-7-2-K is the same as the Assembly # AKHD-865-7-1-K you found but with 1/2" wheel studs versus the 9/16". We also have the Assembly # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K if you need the EZ Lube grease cap to access the grease zerk on your spindle.

Since you have 17-1/2" wheels I do recommend going all the way to 120 ft-lbs. If your wheels have a 9/16" stud (like most 17-1/2" wheels that fit with coned lug nuts do) I recommend going with the Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-865-7-1-EZ-K instead. This has the...

The part # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K that you referenced can fit with a 16 inch wheel that has a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern though. I attached a review video for this hub for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Pilot Diameter of Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-KThe pilot diameter is 2.72 inches for the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K. This hub and drum is for 5,200 lb, 6,000 lb, and 7,000 lb axles that have inner bearing 25580, outer bearing 14125A, and grease seal GS2250DL. It has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern as well, which is important because that's the bolt pattern your wheels will need to have in order to fit the # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K hub and drum.

These all have the 8-on-6-1/2 bolt pattern. You can select a spare hub for your new 2018 Grand Design Momentum 349M 5th wheel toy hauler by confirming which set of bearing is used in your OEM hubs. The new hub has to use the same bearings in order to fit on your spindles. I checked the specs for the 349M on the Grand Design website but bearing information is not included.

- How to Determine Replacement Hub for M416 Military Trailer Due to the age of the trailer, we will want a little more information to make sure we get you the correct hub and drum assembly and brake assemblies. The best way to choose a replacement hub is by using the bearing and grease seal part numbers that are stamped into the metal cage of the bearing and the rubber of the seal. With these part numbers, I can cross reference the correct hub. We've had a few people ask for similar hub replacements for your M416 trailer and we've given them this...

- Concerns Regarding Zerk Fitting With EZ Lube Hubs Working Well For Fifth WheelsI certainly understand your concern regarding grease getting into the brakes or filling the inner hub. However, this rarely happens with any of our EZ lube Trailer Hub and Drum Assemblies like Item # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K. If it is the right size and you install everything correctly, you should not have any problems. The zerk fitting actually makes lubing bearings much safer and more effective. The key is not to overfill and to use the correct parts for your fifth wheel hub and drum assembly...

Otherwise they are exactly the same. You can use calipers such as # PTW80157 to measure the diameter of the studs you have. Or you can check the hubs you have for any numbers stamped into them. If you see a 219-04 or 219-09 then it has 1/2 inch studs. If you see a 219-13 or 219-18 they are 1/2 inch. It is also possible that this information...

If you do not have EZ Lube axles use Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-865-7-2-K. Both of these kits will come with bearings races and seals installed and pre greased. You will want to confirm this is your exact kit by checking your bearing specifications. See link below for measuring them. If they don't match let me know what measurement you get and...

Most likely you have # 25580 and # 14125A but verify to be sure. If these are correct you'll next want to find the diameter of your wheel studs and if you have E-Z Lube axles. If the studs are 9/16 inch use # AKHD-865-7-1-EZ-K for E-Z Lube axles and # AKHD-865-7-1-K for standard axles. For 1/2 inch studs instead use # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K for E-Z Lube or # AKHD-865-7-2-K for standard axles. Then you need...
view full answer... - Replacement Brakes and Hub/Drums for 7K Trailer Axles on 2005 Forrest River Cardinal 33LXYes, to replace the brakes and hub/drums on your 7K axles you need the following: - Self-Adjusting Trailer Brakes # TRU96FR - Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K (1/2" studs) - Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-865-7-1-EZ-K (9/16" studs) The brakes fit either way, you just need to choose the correct hub drums that match your current studs so it fits with your current equipment just fine. I've attached some isntallation videos for you to check out.

These are our most cost effective options.

If you need mounting hardware for this as well you'd need the part # BRKH12 as well. For hub/drums that match this capacity and application that come pregreased and with all the needed lugs, cover, bearing etc. you'd then want the part # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K which has an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. That would cover everything you could possibly need! I attached an install video for the hub for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended EZ Lube Hubs For 7000 lb Capacity Axle 8 Bolts With 5/8 Inch Wheel StudsFor a 5/8 inch stud option without the EZ Lube, I recommend the Dexter Axle Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 7,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 # 8-219-18UC3. This will have the grease cap and not the EZ Lube. However, you can add the EZ lube grease caps with plug that will fit, they are # RG04-120. If you want a complete kit, we don't have the 5/8 inch stud size, but for the 1/2 inch stud option, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 7,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" Diameter - 8 on 6-1/2...

First pack the bearings, like you already did. Spread a small amount of grease on the spindle. Insert your bearings and grease seal in the hub and mount the hub on the spindle.

For the hubs, first you will need to check with local laws that you are able to run brakes on only one of your axles. Many laws now require trailers with braking axles to have brakes on all hubs.

I have a few questions for you about the experience with the grease caps. What kind of spindles does your trailer have? This hub assembly comes with two different kinds of grease caps, one for regular spindles and one for EZ lube sprindles. The EZ lube spindles will have grease zerk fittings on the end of them. The grease cap to use with it will be the one with the black rubber center that you can remove to access the grease fitting. The regular spindle would use the solid grease cap that would then contain the grease. The grease caps, of course should not fall off, however it sounded like it was possible that the EZ lube grease cap was used with the regular spindle so I wanted to ask. I look forward to your reply.
