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.


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"

Install this hub-and-drum assembly on your trailer. Compatible with electric or hydraulic brakes. Fits 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb axles. Inner bearing (25580) and race, outer bearing (15123) and race, grease seal, grease cap, and lug nuts included.

Units fit well, drums are made in China, but I expected that given they are $100 less than the dexter units (who knows maybe dexter is made in China also). They did take a beating in delivery, one bearing was popped out (still in the bag) and all 4 rear grease seals popped out as well, but no damage to the actual assembly... I gave the 4 stars due to the China part..



by:

I called and Kurt helped me through my order to ascertain the correct parts for our trailer. the order arrived in a very timely manner, and the parts were very well packed. It took no time to fit the brake set as everything fitted well, brakes are great.
I am very satisfied, thamk you



by:

Sales rep all but guaranteed these were made in the USA by Dexter for etrailer, CHINA is cleverly hidden INSIDE the drum. They are not made in the USA, but CHINA doesn’t ALWAYS mean junk. Time will tell, but the last set of China drums were destroyed in one year. 2012 Ram factory controller set at 3.5 empty, 6.5 loaded around 9k. 20’ enclosed car trailer.

The reason that it gets confusing, is because some of the parts are manufactured in China, while they are assembled here in the USA.



by:

The three wheel hubs delivered were the wrong ones. I ordered 6 lug configuration and received 5 lug and they were delivered a day later than the confirmation email stated. Frustrated because I was on a deadline to get my trailer back on the road and will now have to make an extra trip to where I have the trailer stored to complete the repairs. The call agent was quick to place a replacement order but they still took a week to arrive.



by:

Exactly as described. Easy to install!

these hubs have been great

Perfect replacement
I called to confirm
fit and also placed the order
It was nice to talk with a person that was professional and made the purchase very easy
I will be back



by:

So far so good! Very easy to install. I put them on my 2013 ice castle and have driven roughly 800 miles on them so far and everything is working great.



by:

3 of the 4 boxes were busted and retaped one adjuster was loose but luckily still in the box. The shipping leaves alot to be desired.



by:

This is a great product. I purchased the entire hub assembly for only a few dollars more than the parts needed to repair my old hub . Great pricing! The product arrived as scheduled. It fit perfectly. I will buy from them again. I recommend them to anyone looking for high quality parts at a good price.

Works great, perfect fit and easy replacement. Thanks. Dan

the hub and bearing kits are still working fine, serviced and bearings still look new, thanks

QUICK DELIVERY, PERFECT FIT.



by:

I just received the two boxes of drums that I'm going to use to put brake on both axles. The UPS delivery driver said that one of the boxes was beat up and there may have been parts lost. It was packed with plastic cap over the outside bearing that prevented the bearing from coming out. GOOD job! Now if you can get away from "made in china" I'd be a lot happier. Additional cost of made in AMERICA for be worth it.



by:

I have received 4 hubs and they were delivered Undamaged. I’ve installed 3 thus far. They fit perfectly. As soon as I get the forth one installed I’ll take the trailer out and test them. So far so good.

Good. Went on a trip last year after installing the the hubs. 24000 miles and 5 months. They performed great.

Exactly what I needed and easy install.

Fit like a glove.

This is a Spare Hub for my Car/Equipment trailer .When not if you have a bearing Failure just change the Hub, no need to try to beat gaulded bearing Races out on the side of the Road !! But if its a easy Bearing Change they are included with this Kit .



by:

It replaced the old drum and hub, electric brake assemblies, it was an exact fit. The outer bearing race was loose in the old hub drum assembly, that was the reason of my repair endeavor. I am very happy with the service I received from Etrailer.com... Thanks George J. for your effort in getting the replacement parts to me. I am considering doing right side of my axle for the sake of uniformity, as am writing this review!



by:

Trailer hub and drum assemblies purchased to replace original units on a 2002 tandem wheel boat trailer. The assemblies were quality units that fit perfectly, installation was easy.



by:

Very well made. Good fit and installed easily. Comes with new grease caps and lug nuts. Used these in conjunction with new brake assemblies. No problems and performs well. Would recommend these to anyone.



by:

Nothing fancy, but exactly what I needed to replace the trailer hubs on the trailer. Have pulled the trailer close to a 1,000 miles and no problems. Thanks etrailer for the great products.



by:

Haven't put them on yet but everything matched up except the rear bearing and seal. I have an older trailer and the axels are different the old bearing still fit just fine in the hub. The delivery time was very impressive. When I get the trailer done I'll post some picks.



by:

I am very pleased with the Loaded backing plates, drums, bearings and tandem axle hanger kit. All appear to be better quality than what came on the trailer originally

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for Hubs Marked BD-655-17
    Hey Ronald, based on the part number you mentioned the correct brake assemblies would be the etrailer brake assemblies part # AKEBRK-7-SA which are a self adjusting set that are the correct capacity for the hub/drums that you have.

  • Replacement Hubs And Brake Assemblies For A 2006 Colorado 5th Wheel
    Hello David, I can definitely point you in the right direction. The Lippert 5,200 lb axles will use the standard 12" x 2" brake assemblies. For that I recommend the etrailer Rust-Resistant Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-7-D. This comes with a pair of Dacromet coasted electric brake assemblies. As far as the hubs, it is not quite so cut and dry. The 5,200 lb axles generally use a # 25580 inner bearing and a # 15123 outer bearing. Given that your axle is almost 20 years old, it may not...

    The Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 6K AL-KO/Hayes Axles # 23-105-106-09 would likely be a fit for your Kelsey Hayes Co 5,200lb axles but the hub-drums might be a challenge to find. Hayes liked to use their own proprietary sizes for bearings so it's harder to find replacements now that they've gone out of business. To determine if there is a fit you'll need to measure the spindle at points B, C, and D on the diagram below to get the inner diameter for the bearings....

If you have standard spindles, I recommend # AKHD-655-6-K which have the standard grease cap instead.

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for AL-KO T-44 Axles
    I have a solution for you, but the AL-KO T-44 axle has been discontinued since Dexter bought them out and there are no longer parts available for them, so you would need to completely replace the axles in order to replace the brakes. To choose the correct replacement axle you will need to know the hub face to hub face measurement and spring seat center to spring seat center measurements of your current axle; you'll also want to try to match your existing bolt pattern with the hubs in...

  • How to Convert Oil Bath Trailer Hubs to Grease Hubs
    Actually all you really have to do is remove the oil from the hub and then pack the hubs with grease and then get the correct bearing buddy to match the threaded hub bore. You will need to measure the inner diameter of where the old grease cap installed on your hub to pick out the correct bearing buddy. If that measurement is 1.98 then you would wan the # BB1980T-SS, if it's 2.080 inches and has 12 threads per inch then you'd need part # BB2080T-SS, if it's 2.44 inches you'd want the part...

  • How To Determine Replacement Hubs And Brakes For Boat Trailer
    Unfortunately, just the outer bearing is not quite enough to figure out what you need for replacement hubs and bearings. For a trailer with that much weight it sounds like you have a tandem trailer. I recommend replacing the bearings and seals on all of the wheels at the same time, even if you are only replacing the brakes on one axle. If you remove the inner and outer bearing and can find the numbers, that will really help. Or you can use digital calipers like part # PTW80157 and take...

    We've had this question before and we were able to determine that your M105A2 either uses a 5200 lb or 6000 lb axle so for hub drums you most likely will need the part # AKHD-655-6-K. This hub and drum comes with inner bearing part # 25580 and outer bearing part # 15123. It fits a 12 inch diameter brake assembly.

The seal which will replace the regular grease seal fits 1.72 inch spindles (diameter where the seal rides on the spindle) but will not fit 1.68 inch spindles.

    I have another option for you, but the only hub and drum assemblies available with the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern are only rated for wheels up to 16-1/2" diameter and are not designed to work with 17" wheels. Starting with the axle for your M105 Military Trailer that you are doing an overland conversion on I recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 2" Lift Spindle w/ Brake Flange - 5,200 lbs # TASR5200S05 or the 4" lift version # TASR5200S03. Both of these...

  • Recommended Grease Conversion for Dexter 12k Oil Bath Axles
    The Dexter 12K oil bath axles can be changed over to grease without any issues. The oil does keep the bearings lubricated well, but there is a much higher risk of leaking which leads to a much higher risk of failure. I'd personally move to grease # L11390 and make sure it is packed well into the bearings using # PTW1218. This will allow you to use your same bearings and oil cap, but you will need to replace the seal once removed to pack the inner bearing. For that you can use # 10-56.

    We have some hubs that can replace the 5-Spoke utility-style you're currently using, but they use a 6 lug pattern which actually works out because you'll need to replace your wheels for your tires anyways. To increase your tire size I recommend a 235/80-16 tire (which reduces your clearance by 2" altogether) so for a complete set of parts you'll need the following: - Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-K - Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-K - 10-10 Grease or Oil Double-Lip...

    What you have is an 86" long axle with a 4,400 lb capacity. Since 4,400 lb axles are no longer being produced, you will need an axle with a higher capacity for a replacement. I recommend the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e45GR. This axle is 86-1/2" long so it will stick out an additional 1/4" on each side but that won't be a problem. The spring seat measurement is also different. This means you will need to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your current...

Based on having Dexter axles and a 10,000 lb GVWR trailer it is likely you have 5,200 lb axles but also possible you have 6,000 lb axles.
