Question:

IS THER A DEXTER HUB/DRUM ASSY TO REPLACE LIPPERT 148627 ASSY?

asked by: BRIAN S

Expert Reply:

The comparable Dexter product would be part # 8-285-11, which is an 8K 12-1/4 x 3-3/8 hub/drum with a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt circle. The drum comes with the races already installed, but the # 25580 and # 02475 bearings and # RG06-070 grease seal are sold separately.

THE LIPPERT 148627 HAS 5/8 STUDS AND THE DEXTER 2-285-11 HAS 9/16 STUDS. WILL THIS CREATE AN ISSUE?

@KevinK It will, it'll significantly reduce the clamping force. The wheel studs on the Dexter are 1/16 of an inch smaller, so you'd need to either go with hubs with the correct size studs or go with wheels that are compatible with a 5/8 wheel stud. If your inner bearing is 25580 and the outer is 02475, you could go with # 8-285-10UC3-A from Dexter which has 5/8 inch studs.
