Breaking Down the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles Video

Hi David; your 4,400 lb Lippert axle actually has a 5,200 lb spindle it just has a lower rating. This is good news since 4,400 lb axles are obsolete and parts aren't always available. The outer bearing is the #LM67048 and inner bearing is #25580…

Your Dexter axles on your 2021 Grand Design Reflection 312BHTS travel trailer will need the Bearing Kit #BK3-300 to replace the bearings, races and grease seal for one hub on your axle. I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease…

Hello Chad. The Lippert 7,000 lb axles use standard sizing for all the bearings, hubs and brakes making them all pretty simple to replace. For a hub assembly I recommend the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum for 5.2K to 7K Axles #AKHD-865-7-G-EZ-K.…

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

We carry both the Left #AKEBRK-7L-SA and Right #AKEBRK-7R-SA Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies to replace your AXLETEK-12-GG,

Thanks for the pictures and measurements! Since your hub uses inner bearing #25580 and outer bearing #LM67048 you will need to go with six of the Bearing Kit #BK3-310 if you are wanting to reuse your hubs, and if you are needing new hubs you will…

The difference really comes down to brand recognition, price, and warranty, but apart from that they are very similar. Dexter is a leading brand and people know they are getting quality, hence the higher price. They Dexter also do have a 5-year…

For your trailer the drums you need are #8-201-5. They're designed to fit bearings #25580 and #LM67048 with the 2-1/4 inch seal #GS-2250DL. For brakes I recommend #AKEBRK-7-SA. Both the left and right sides are included. They are side specific so…

Thanks for reaching out and for all of the information! For your 2018 Grand Design Reflection 312BHTS I highly recommend using the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring #e47SR which is rated for up to 6,000 lb axles and measures 25-1/8" from center eye to…

While your pictures do indicate that you have an AL KO 4,400 lb axle the actual brake assemblies you have is a Dexter 3,500 lb assembly part #23-26 or for the pair #23-26-27. When it comes to replacing your hubs, based off some previous answers it…

Looks like Maxion/Vesper wheels like the #TA56FR are made in Turkey whereas Dexstar trailer wheels are made in USA.

It sounds like the seals have failed and the grease from the bearings has come out during travel. Also it is possible that if you have an EZ lube axle with a grease zerk at the end to add grease but use a single lip seal, the pressure can blow out…
