E-Z Lube-Compatible Assembly for Simple Lubrication
The grease cap on this hub-and-drum assembly is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Grease cap damaged/unusable and this like dexter item dimensions are all different. So long as the wheels line up and the drum contacts the brakes pad properly I’ll let it ride. And the like new but missing parts drum is damaged and the bearing race is not seated
by: Ren07/29/2023
trailer hub arrived with something that appears to be sand all throughout the assembly. I'm sure it is obvious what sand will do to bearing

I am not sure what happened there. It is the first time I have seen that happen. Customer Service will be in touch with you.

Five star. shipping was slow. Product was great 14 K 14 plies under 2000 pounds independent suspension. Low fast and sassy. Yep that’s how I build them.
by: Stephen04/08/2023
Everybody is completely smashed to pieces. I bought a kit for my store but can not put smashed torn apart boxes on the shelf. Why were these shipped in the box that is to be put on the shelf? Adhesive shipping labels veering descriptions and part quantities.

I am sorry that the hub assemblies were delivered this way. I will share this with our shipping department and will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
by: Christopher C.07/14/2017
Thanks so much etrailer for making me feel so much better/safer about carrying heavier loads in my trailer. Katrina also went the extra mile when it came to customer service and patience with my order. I had 15" six lug hub and drum assembly which held all I could load on them, like I said I just did not feel safe so I went with this hub and drum assembly which came with all necessary items for the install, and it allowed me to put 16" tires with a heavier weight rating. Very pleased.
by: Rick01/04/2023
Outer bearing #14125A was damaged. Notified Davine at etrailer and emailed her a picture of the damaged bearing. Currently awaiting a response. Everything else in the package was ok.
by: Clayton 03/07/2024
So far so good. Good customer service, boxes were not damaged and arrived within a couple days. Genuine dexter parts and they also helped swapped a backordered part.
by: Lonnie03/06/2024
Parts are good. Service sucks! When I ordered and paid for four of these they were in stock and was to be at my door in three days. Four days later they said they were out of stock and would take another two weeks before they would have them in. Don't order unless you have about three weeks!

Great product and exact replacement for our 42ft Keystone Montana High Country 375FL.
Fast shipping and correct part is extremely important as we are full time RVers and with limited time.
I've ordered several items over the years and always received great service.

These guy's at etrailer are hard to beat! Customer care is over the top. That's why Allison Creek does business with etrailer.

Perfect replacement for the factor hubs. Thought I ordered the easy grease hub. A pre-greased one was shipped...NO PROBLEM!!! One less thing I had to do to install. Etrailer will continue to have my business.

SECOND TIME IVE ORDER A HUB ASSEMBLY FOR MY JOB CAME IN EARILER THAN EXPECT & PACKEGED NICELY & EVERYTHING WAS CORRECT!!!!
by: Andrew V.02/15/2019
I ordered this as spare hub assembly for my 5th Wheel RV. We are leaving next month on a 5000+ mile, 3 month trip. I figure if I have a bearing go bad I can swap out the whole hub and be back on the road in no time. The hub is the same Dexter hub that I have on my rig now.
Shipping was fast and free, Helen was great, helping me find the part numbers of some of the other accessories that I needed to have spares of. Speaking of shipping I had checked other places for the hub and while the price was similar the freight charges were half the price of the hub. I will definitely be giving trailer my business going forward.

I havent had to use this Hub as of yet but, just having with me when we travel is comforting.

Matched OEM perfectly
by: Robert01/12/2023
Hub was better than i hoped for the races were already installed just grease the bearings and put it together and they came sooner than expected.I have used etrailer in the past.couldnt be happier
by: Al03/28/2014
This is exactly what I need for an on-the-road repair! I ordered a second because I had a wheel-lug issue on I-95, and this kit got me rolling again! Thanks for offering a very complete setup at a great price. Finally, the free shipping is EXCELLENT! With some vendors "free shipping" means "you will receive it sometime next year." Not etrailer.com! Thanks!

- How to Pick Out New Hubs for a Construction TrailerIn order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer we are going to need know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out. If you are looking for a different bolt pattern this step can be skipped for now. Next thing we will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order...
view full answer... - Switching to the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System On a Keystone Montana 5th Wheel TrailerThe Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # TASR7KS01 would work great on a Keystone Montana. It's going to improve the ride quality without question, both on and off-road. The built-in alignment will help save your tires from issues like uneven wear and it will make upkeep with the trailer much more manageable so no replacing the flattened leaf springs every few years. In regards to capacity, this may be a bit of an upgrade just keep in mind there are other factors that going...
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Springs for 2012 Dutchman Voltage 3905In order to find the correct leaf springs for your 2012 Dutchman Voltage 3905 you will need to take some measurements and know the capacity of your axle. What you are looking for is the center of spring eye to center of spring eye measurement. In order to get the most accurate measurement ,the wheels of the trailer should be off the ground since the springs stretch when weight is applied. I have attached an image showing where you need to measure. If you provide me with this information...

- Castle Nut Torque Spec for 7,000 Pound Trailer AxleThere is no specific torque rating when reinstalling the castle nut after packing the bearings. You want to run the nut down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then back it off to the next notch in the castle nut so the retainer can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. I have attached a video showing this process. If you jump to the 4:45 minute mark, you can see the procedure outlined above.
view full answer... - Does Timbren Make a 10,000Lb Axle Less Trailer Kit? The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # TASR7KS01 is the highest rated weight capacity we have a 7,000lbs. This would require the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-464-465 and 2 Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assemblies # 42866UC3-EZ. The Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers # TSR10KT02 is rated for 10,000lbs but will require two 3" axles. Using axles like the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e55SR will give you a hub face to hub face width...

This axle uses a # 25580 inner bearing and # 14125A outer bearing. The grease seal inner diameter should be 2.25" so that matches as well. It has a 7,000 lb capacity and a 5 bolt brake flange configuration. I have attached a review and installation video for your reference.

The Timbren Axle-Less Suspension # TASR7KS01 you were looking at is universal so it can absolutely be installe on your 16' long x 7' wide gooseneck dump trailer. This system bolts directly to the frame of your trailer and replaces the leaf spring suspension with built in progressive rate AEON main springs that give a much smoother ride and do a better job of absorbing road shock. You would need to replace both axles on your trailer at the same time as it is imperative...
view full answer... - What is Difference Between Trailer Hubs 42866UC3-EZ and 8-219-4UC3-EZThe big difference is the grease seal inner diameter which basically indicates what spindle it would fit. The part # 8-219-4UC3-EZ has a grease seal with an inner diameter that is 2.125 inch whereas the part # 42866UC3-EZ has that dimension of 2.25 inch. Also worth noting is that you can swap the grease seal of the # 8-219-4UC3-EZ to the other size with just the part # GS-2250DL.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assemblies and Hub/Drums for 7,000 lb Dexter AxlesFirst let's set you up with the correct brake assemblies. For a kit that has both the left and right hand side you'll want the part # 23-105-106-09. Then for a hub kit that includes all of the needed bearings/seals etc. you'd want the part # 42866UC3-EZ if the seal diameter on your spindle is 2-1/4 inch. If instead the dimension is 2-1/8 inch you'd want the part # 8-219-4UC3-EZ which has the correct seal.
view full answer... - Will Dexter Hub and Drum 42866UC3-EZ Fit A 7000lb Lippert Axle?I reached out to my contact at Lippert and confirmed that the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum assembly # 42866UC3-EZ you were looking at will indeed fit for your 2017 Grand Design Momentum 350M with 7000lb Lippert axles. These hubs include new bearings, races, seals, grease cap, and lug nuts so you will have everything needed to get them installed. If you find the brakes are in need of replacement as well then we have the Dexter # 23-180-181. I included videos of the products mentioned for...

- Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly With 2.72" Diameter Grease Cap FlangeIt sounds like you're looking for a hub and drum assembly that can use the # rg04-120 grease cap that fits a 2.72" grease cap flange. Grease seals for a 5,200-7,000 lb axle have a 2.125" or 2.25" inner diameter and a 3.376" outer diameter. The Dexter # 42866UC3-EZ matches your capacity, bolt pattern, and uses a 2.72" grease cap. As long as your current setup uses a # GS-2250DL grease seal with a 2.25" inner and 3.376" outer diameter this will work as a replacement.

This is a 7k axle kit that would work well. For brake assemblies then you'd want the part # 23-324 for the left hand side and part # 23-325 for the right hand side and you'd be set.

- Pilot Hole Size of the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZThe Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ fits a wheel with a 4-3/4-inch pilot hole and a 8-on-6-1/2 bolt pattern. Each hub has a 3500 lbs rating.
view full answer... - Is the Capacity of the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System Per Side or TotalFor a Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with a 7,000 lb capacity you will want to use part # TASR7KS02 which has the same 4" drop as the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR3500S04 that you referenced. The part # ASR3500S04 has a total weight capacity of 3,500 lbs, not per side. If you need the braking assemblies and hub/drum for the 7,000 lb system then you can use part # 42866UC3-EZ for the hub/drum and part # 23-105-106 for the braking assemblies. I have...
view full answer... - Replacement 7,000 Pound Axles with Brakes Hubs and Drums for Tandem Axle TrailerWe don't carry standard axles rated for 7,000 pounds. If that's what you're looking for I suggest sourcing them locally and having them ordered so you get exactly what you know will fit. What we do carry in that capacity is the Timbren Axle-Less System # TASR7KS01. This replaces your traditional axle. They'll install on any trailer width and are an entire suspension system. I've linked a video for you. These Timbrens do not include the drums or brakes. The flange is included. For...
view full answer... - Can I Upgrade from 6 Lug to 8 Lug Wheels to Help Increase Weight Rating of my Trailer?Because the total weight capacity of your trailer is limited by the lowest rated component, your axle capacity won't be increased by adding hubs with more lug nuts to the equation-even if they are rated higher than the axle. Moving to 8-lug hubs sounds like you want to move from 5,200-lb axles up to 7000-lb axles. If this is the case, then we have a few options for you listed below; I've also linked below all of the 7000-lb axles we currently have available. Best Upgrade: Timbren Axle-Less...
view full answer... - Recommended Axle-Less System For Two Tandem Trailers We do not offer beam axles that have the 7,200-lb capacity you mentioned, but we do offer axle-less systems from Timbren that have a 7K capacity that I recommend. I have attached a link to those systems you can check out. Although a bit more expensive, there are many fewer parts with the axle-less system, and they are much easier to install and maintain. The axle-less system I recommend is part # TASR7KS01. This has the 5-bolt brake flange attached. This system also has an EZ lube spindles,...
view full answer... - Replacement for Older Dexter 7,000 Pound Torsion Axle I spoke with my contact at Dexter regarding the axle on your trailer. He stated that the serial number you found is a pretty old number and unfortunately they don't have much information on this particular axle. He was not able to confirm its rating or length. If you are looking to replace the axle, we do not have any torsion axles available but I do have a great option. I recommend taking a look at an Axle-Less System like the Timbren # TASR7KS01. This 7.000 pound system will provide...
view full answer... - Picking Out Replacement Hub/Drum for 1998 Alpen Lite Stone Creek 36RLThere's a chance the current 7k trailer axle hubs could fit in place of what you have but you'll need to measure your spindle to find that out for sure. Take your hub off and measure the spindle where the bearings and seal ride. If those dimensions are 1.25 inch, 1.75 inch, and 2.25 inch you could use a hub like the part # 42866UC3-EZ. If you find different dimensions let me know and I'll see what you'd need.

This 7,000 pound rated system can be used for a 2-axle setup, so it will work nicely on your trailer. It will provide you with a safe, smooth, and quiet ride, and will fit any frame width. I have attached an installation video for this system so you can get a better idea as to how it installs and operates. Then for a hub and drum assembly that will work well, I...
view full answer... - Timbren Axle-Less, Hub, Brake Assembly and Wheel/Tire Recommendation for 14k Boat TrailerI would go with a tandem axle setup on your trailer as the tires will scrub less with a tandem vs. a triple. Tire scrub is when you are making a tight turn and tires on the back axle end up skidding across the pavement. The Axleless System part # TASR7KS01 has a 7k rating and would work well as long as you are sure the weight of your trailer does not exceed 14k. For hubs you would want the part # 42866UC3-EZ which have a 7k capacity and a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. For brake assemblies...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hub/Drum for AL-KO 7,000 Lb AxleYes, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 42866UC3-EZ will work on an AL-KO 7,000 Lb Axle. The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly is sold individually so you will need two per axle. If you need new braking assemblies, we have these as well the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-464-465.
view full answer... - What Wheel Pilot Hole Diameter Fits Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZAccording to my contact at Dexter Axle, their Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ fits a wheel with a 4-3/4-inch pilot hole and a 8-on-6-1/2 bolt pattern. Each hub carries a 3500-lb rating.

The nut is ran down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then backed off to the next notch in the castle nut so the tang washer or cotter pin can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. If you click on the video link I provided, and fast forward to the 4:45 minute mark, you can...
