Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Dexter 12 1/4 inch Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly with the 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Has the 9/16 inch diameter wheel studs, and it's for the 7,200 pound axles that are manufactured after 1999. Now this trailer hub and drum assembly provides the surface area for your brake shoes to grip when your brakes are activated. If you look in the back here, you can see here's the area where your hydraulic drum brakes will apply, and then if you use electric brakes, they'll apply right on here.

So it is compatible with both electric and hydraulic drum brakes. It is a sturdy iron construction, and this part number does include all these parts here shown on the table. Let me just get this back up here. There we go. It'll include the hub and drum assembly itself.

It includes the bearing races, which are pre-installed. The outer and the inner bearing races are pre-installed. Comes with the inner bearing. The outer bearing comes with the grease seal, the grease cap, and then eight of the 9/16 by 18 size lug nuts. Now the part numbers for these bearings and grease seals and cap, they're all listed on the bottom of the product page of this part number.

Drum dimension. The diameter, gonna lift it up again just to show you, but that diameter if we measured across, is gonna be 12 1/4 inches. The width is gonna be from here to here, 3 1/4 inches wide. Now it is designed to work with the brake assemblies that are 12 1/4 inch by 2 1/2 inches wide. Application again.

This will fit 7,200 pound axles that are manufactured after 1999, and the reason that is after 1999, they upgraded from a 9-bolt brake flange to a 4-bolt brake flange, and they don't interchange. So this is designed for the axles that we're manufactured after 1999. Bolt pattern, we mentioned, is an 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. It does accept the wheel size of 16 inch up to 17 1/2 inches. Wheel stud diameter of 9/16 of an inch, and the weight capacity on this one, assembly is 3,600 pounds. So when this is matched with one on the other side, it meets the 7,200 pound rating of your axle. But that should do it for the review on this Dexter 12 1/4 inch Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly with the 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern, 9/16 wheel studs for the 7,200 pound axles manufactured after 1999.
