Question:
The drum is marked DEXTER 8-257. Are these the right shoes or do I need more info to order them? I will need the grease seals also. The trailer is a 1994 Sun Lite Eclipse 2001 WS. Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
If your hub drum is marked Dexter 8-257, it should be the same as our # 8-257-5UC3 (standard) or # 8-257-5UC3-EZ (EZ Lube) hub drums. As long as you have 7 inch by 1-3/4 inch Dexter brake assemblies, the # BP04-050 brake shoes would be the appropriate replacement pieces for your setup.
If you have a standard # 8-257-5UC3 hub drum, you could use grease seal # 10-9. If you have the # 8-257-5UC3-EZ hub drums with the EZ lube zerk fitting, I would recommend a 10-60 double lip seal, which is available in a 2-pack, part # RG06-020.
I am including a link to an FAQ on repacking bearings, races, and seals if needed.
