Question:

What is the part numbers for just the brake drum and studs contained within Part Number: AKHD-655-6-K? Thanks!

Hi Jack; the drum is integrated so you have to get the full # AKHD-655-6-K to replace it. Separate hubs and drums are typically found on larger capacity axles like 10k. The studs can be replaced with # 165995.

Well, problem with that assembly is that I assume the bearings are garbage china made bearings, thus I’ll need to pull them out and replace with Timken or other first world manufactured bearings to avoid the inevitable breakdown. Selling the hub loose would save me knocking the tin foil bearings out and throwing them away. Disappointing…

@JackP if your concern is USA made parts then you can get the Dexter # 8-201-5 that doesn't include bearings (they use Chinese bearings in the pre-greased hubs) and a Timken Bearing Kit # TMK22VR (2.125" ID grease seal) or # TMK72VR (2.25" ID grease seal).
