Question:

Hi I’m trying to get a extra trailer hub/drum. The name in it is dexter and it’s a 5 lug. There is a part number of 8-249. Not sure if that will work. If not I can send a picture via email.

Expert Reply:

Dexter 8-249 hubs normally have inner bearings like Item # L68149 and outer bearings like Item # L44649. If these are your bearings (the size will be stamped on them) then it sounds like you need Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly Item # 84556UC3 by Dexter which also has 8-249 stamped on them. This hub and drum assembly fits a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. You may also need Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly Item # AKHD-555-35-K which fits a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. Be sure and check your bolt pattern so that you get the right hub and some details about determining bolt pattern are covered in attached information.

Let me know if none of these will work and I will make a correct recommendation.

Additional information and videos attached.
