Question:
I pulled my 3500k 10” tandem electric brake hub off and found broken pieces inside, plus my drums are wore down to the studs. Can you recommend the best replacements brake/ hub- bearing kit for a Dexter 8-249, 5x5?

Expert Reply:
Hey Damon, so for the replacement hub and drum you'd want the part # 84556UC3 and then for a matching set of left and right brake assemblies that are self adjusting you'd want the part # 23-468-469. The hub is a 3,500 lb trailer axle hub and has the 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern you need as well.
For just a left hand assembly you'd want the part # 23-468 or the right hand side part # 23-469.
