Question:
I have a dexter type brake drum hub that I need to replace due to stripped out lug nut holes. The mfg. raised stamp looks like a U with half of a globe under it and the code on the opposite side is UCF8-238. Do you sell a hub that will replace this? Its on a mobile home axle. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
From the picture, it looks like you would need bearing # 2585. That bearing doesn't fit any of our current hubs, but that could all be based on a very unprecise measurement. Let's try another route. Get a digital caliper like # PTW80157 and let's measure the spindle of your axle.
I've attached a photo to help. I need you to provide measurements for labeled points B, C, and D on your spindle. Any other pictures you can provide of the hub and spindle would be helpful as well.
