When it’s time to restore or upgrade your trailer’s stopping system, this Dexter hub-and-drum assembly gives you the right setup for 2,200-lb axles with BTR spindles. It’s built to work with both electric and hydraulic drum brakes, providing the surface area your brake shoes need for consistent grip and even braking. With a 7" diameter by 1-1/4" drum and a 4 on 4" bolt pattern, it’s a straightforward fit for 10" to 13" wheels.
Nothing slows a project down like missing parts. This kit comes complete with inner and outer bearings (L44649), matching L44610 races pre-installed in the hub, a 10-9 grease seal, a 1.98" grease cap, 1/2" wheel bolts, and lug nuts. Each component is matched to work together, so you can go from unboxing to mounting with minimal fuss.
You want a hub and drum that can handle the weight and heat of repeated braking. Dexter’s iron construction holds up under heavy towing conditions and resists wear over time. It’s the same solid design trusted across countless trailer rebuilds and upgrades, giving you peace of mind every time you hit the road.
Whether you’re replacing worn parts or converting from surge brakes to electric, this hub makes installation simple. The races come already seated in the hub, the bearings slide into place easily, and the included hardware gives you everything needed to finish the job right. Once installed, the 1,100-lb weight capacity per hub keeps your load balanced and rolling smoothly.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Ratings & Reviews
all parts were there, and works OK.
Seal is bent a bit. I can still use it.
We received our order in record time. The representative was most helpful, and we received the item that we needed.
Arrived fast. Drums look good. Will have to replace the bearing races since they are rusty. One of the dust caps is bent. Rust on a bearing surface is not good.
Very well detailed order recap. I like how the videos and parts details are shown with the current order. Well done.

These delivered as advertised I am glad I bought them here as the video showed exactly what I needed to know
Fit my 1997 Starcraft Starflyer 1021 popup camper. Only problem was that it came with the wrong bearings (came with L44643 instead of L44649). Had to call and now I have to wait another week to do the job.
Exactly what I needed for conversion from hydraulic to electric brake system on 1994 Jayco King pop-up camper.
Ordered 4 parts as part of an update to my tandem axle trailer. The correct lip seal is included with 3 and one has the wrong lip seal(too wide and wrong ID). Compatibility information with other parts ordered (brake assemblies in this order) is valuable.
The hubs are great, easy install and perfect fit. Can't wait to try out them and the new electric brakes I installed.
Was really wanting to go 5 on 4 1/4, Went together OK, still need to road test. Shipping was awful, loos parts damaged and missing

I hate to see that parts arrived damaged out of the hub assembly. I will have out customer service team reach out.
Electric Brake kit for trailer this time.
The parts are very acceptable and the service is supreme.
Couldn't get any better service anywhere. I've bought a lot of items from etrailer for a couple years now. I have had great experiences with each and every order.
Not sure if these hubs are going to work. Spent a hour today installing and found small size differences between old and new ones. I thought kit was supposed to include everything, but it was missing cotter pins and bearing washers. This was not my first purchase from etrailer, but I could of used more information on hub dimensions. I was replacing surge brake hubs for a 1992 Jayco popup. I would suggest adding links to mechanical drawings with guidance on what and where to measure to get the best product.
INSTALLED AS DIRECTED BY INSTRUCTIONS-- APPRECIATE YOUR DELIVERY ETC. WILL BE USING YOUR SITE FOR FUTURE NEEDS-- GUARANTEED--
THANKS TO YOUR SERVICE

DID THE JOB FOR OUR TRAILER-
I received my parts, packed the bearings, installed the brakes and backing plates assemblies. installed the drum and hubs, adjusted the brakes and on the road we go. It took 1 hour to do both sides and they fit perfect. Thanks etrailer.com
The Drums were loose in the box and damaged the seals as the drums were free to move around while being shipped.Not a good packaging job.I should of checked the seals for damage before I got my mobile RV mechanic out to do the work but the bearings and seals were all wrapped up to the ends of the drums and I assumed incorrectly that they were ok. I had to run out to the nearest parts store and luckily they had seals that fit but they only came with a new set of bearings $XX. Also no washer or shim was provided with this kit so had to get that as well. The drums and bearings were fine as were the brakes.
Lesson learned to always check all your parts beforehand.

I am sorry that you needed to make an extra trip to replace the damaged bearings and missing hardware. I will have Customer Service reach out to you about the order.
I had to replace one hub on my pop-up camper and decided I should do both wheels. The parts I ordered came very quickly (3 days), without having to pay extra for quick shipping. The parts matched perfectly and the job went very smoothly. My only complaint is that one of the hub covers/grease seals was dented and bent. It looks like it was damaged during shipment as it was not packaged separately but instead was taped to the outside of the hub. Luckily one of my old seals was reusable and everything worked out.
The first 2 drum and hub combos i got were machined crooked and the second set had to be turned on a drum lathe before the brakes would work properly. I lost time and money being broke down and paying to have the drums checked and turned at a machine shop. Maybe made in China? The people at e trailer were helpfull and prompt no complaints there, just the quality of product.
Purchased as part of all parts required to upgrade a 1996 Jayco to electric brakes. Very pleased with quality of parts and results. Battery still fully charged after winter in storage!
First of all, the product description on the eTrailer website was very detailed and very complete. With all the different axle sizes and types out there, it was nice to have the specs to make sure I was ordering the right part.
I like the shipping tracker. It's easy to use, and I knew where the shipment was, and when to expect delivery. That was nice, because my hub arrived a day later than I thought it would. (When you order on Good Friday, on Easter weekend, 3 day shipping might take an extra day. I should have expected that.)
I thought that rebuilding the existing hubs would be a good idea. And it was. But while driving the new bearing race into place, I let the race get crooked, and I cracked the hub.
The old hub uses bolts to mount the wheel. The new hub has studs and lug nuts, which makes tire changing much easier. The new hub comes with the race pre-installed, just have to apply grease and tap in the rear seal. very easy.
All things concidered, I'm very happy with the entire process, and will probably order a roof rack for my pop up camper from etrailer in the near future.
Everything in one package taped to the hub. I would have offered more protection for shipping to the bearing and seal then just taping it to the hub but it did arrive unscathed. Quality seemed good. Went together easy. Lost the first dust cap on my first trip around the block for a brake adjustment test. Lost the second on the second trip (about 10 miles). I ordered replacement dust caps and the tap on tool. Not sure if I didn't have them on well enough or if there is a product problem there. I have done a lot of these and never had a problem before.
A year ago I bought these as part of an overhaul for a 1976 coleman pop-up camper. Many parts on it were obsolete, so I had to change the drums along with the entire suspension. I am pleased to say they work great with my electronic brakes! We've taken our refurbished trailer on 2 long-distance trips (including one into the mountains) and the brakes and drums perform very well!
The brake drums rubbed on the kind of backing plates on my trailer. I think my axles was an older stable. I was able to modify them to make things work though. They worked great and have made several trips with my brake system working great!

It worked well. I had an older axle and had to modify the drums slightly to fit my backing plate but it has been great. I did end up selling that trailer though but the new owners love it.
These are to replace old 7 1/4" brakes on an older pop up camper frame that I built a small camper on. Looks they will work perfectly with the new Dexter 7" brake assembles I have.
Drums were good overall, just make sure the racings are seated all the way. Three out of the four drum's racings needed to be tapped down some more.
Erica at etrailer.com was extremely helpful in helping me select the right breaks for my trailer application. The ship time was incredibly fast installation was a breeze and customer service is top notch!!!
