Based on the bolt pattern of the brake assemblies and the hub you sent in it looks like you have a 5,200-6,000 lb axle and the correct hub/drum you need is the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ.

I attached an install video for this hub for you to check out as well.

Yes, the part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K that you ordered will also work. It's basically the same hub made by a different brand (our house brand). It will fit and work well. What you have currently is a Dexter but the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K will also work well.

Hi Jim! The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #8-201-5UC3-EZ and #8-201-9UC3-EZ are very similar, but there are a couple differences. You noted the weight capacity differences, and that is due to the bearing combination, which I have listed below:…

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
