Question:
Is there an oil hub/drum kit available for a Dexter 5200 axle, 12X2 brakes, 6 lug?

Expert Reply:
Yes, but you'll need to purchase two separate kits per hub. Since you have a Dexter 5,200 lbs axle you'll want the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles item # 8-201-5UC3. This uses inner bearing item # 25580 and outer bearing item # LM67048. It wouldn't hurt to confirm these bearing sizes but since you have a 6 lug hub not an 8 this is most likely the same size.
The Dexter Hub item # 8-201-5UC3 does not come pre-greased so it'll be easy to convert it to an oil bath using the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for for 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb Axles item # XLPROLUBE2440KIT. This kit does not have threads like the higher capacity ones do which is exactly what you need. It fits a hub bore of 2.44" which is what the Dexter 5,200 lbs hubs have.
I recommend measuring the hub bore on your current hubs using a digital caliper like item # PTW80157 to get an accurate measurement. You may be able to convert your current hubs by installing the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit item # XLPROLUBE2440KIT if the hubs you're running now have a 2.44 bore. You'll want to measure where the grease cap sits.
