Replacement 7 inch Dexter Hub for 2004 Fleetwood Yuma with Hubs 8-257

Question

Question:

I have a 7inch Dexter EZ LUBE hub Id like to replace on both sides of my 2004 Fleetwood Yuma Pop-up camper. The old hub has the codes: 8257 and WF34818 on it. Can you suggest a replacement hub and drum for me? I also would need the right/left brake assembly. Thanks

Hub and drum assembly # 8-257-5UC3 is the correct replacement for you. If you look at the picture of the hub/drum I have included you will see where it does indeed read 8-257. I have also included a link to a video of this assembly for you.

Whenever possible I recommend the hub part #CE13511 over the #AKIHUB-545-35-K as it has marine quality grease in it that will do a better job preventing water from damaging the grease. Aside from that it's the same hub that fits the same spindle.…

You didn't list your tire size, but if you have a 185/80D13 like the part #AM3S331 that you mentioned I have a better recommendation I can make. You would be better served with the part #TTWTRTM1758013C as it is a radial tire that has an 81 mph…

For 10 inch hub drums 13 inch wheels like the part #AM31985 can fit over them depending on what hubs are used on the trailer. We offer several 10 inch hubs that will work with 13 inch rims (see link), but not every 10 inch hub will fit behind a 13…

Based on the picture you attached of your motorcycle it does look like you will be able to jump in size to a 12 inch, possibly 13 inch tire and wheel combo. The important thing to maintain is at least 3 inches of clearance between the top of the tire…

Answer 11

Based on your manual indicating 7" brakes it is probably a 2,000 lb axle. That should be a 4-bolt brake flange on the axle as well. Try checking your axle tag to see if you can verify this. The capacity may be listed, or it can be found with the…

Answer 12

The #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K hub would arrive with the grease seal, the races and the inner and outer bearings installed. The bearings are already packed with grease, so the hub is ready to install. I'd recommend using some additional all-purpose marine…
