Thoroughly Tested for Safety
This hub-and-drum assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This assembly has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.
E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-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 or etrailer Easy Grease 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"

No information is provided as to axle to brake flange spacing so this will fit and work. If you don't already have the complete axle, buyer beware this will be a huge pain.

great service
by: Zach04/25/2017
Upgraded my hubs and added electric brakes to my Aliner. As usual with etrailer, great product and even better customer service. I originally ordered the wrong size and etrailer worked with me to determine the correct size for my trailer. They then sent out the new parts and gave me a full refund on returned parts. New hubs and brakes work flawlessly.
by: John06/23/2021
etrailer.com needs to change up their website to ask you to select the bearing size you need for this product upon adding it to your cart. This mistake is ultimately on me, but I think the site could improve the shopping experience by making the user select the proper bearing size.
I ordered two of these hubs and it came with a bearing that was 0.05 too small. I asked to exchange and they told me that the only ones they had in stock with the bearing I needed were 80 bucks more (each).
I asked to return them. Sure, no problem, that'll be $[XX] to send them back.
So my advice is to choose wisely when you order and make sure you have the right bearings.
I ended up putting my old bearings in the new hubs. Perhaps etrailer.com could have just swapped the bearings for me as an alternative
by: Tom 09/01/2021
Needed to add brakes to my trailer to meet the specs of our vehicle's towing capacity. These hubs were one of many purchase required to make that happen.
It's been a year and they've been working as expected.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Parts Needed to Add Brakes to a Trailer with 2,000 lb Axle SpindlesSince the spindles you have installed are BT8 2,000 lb axle spindles without brake mounting flanges you are going to need the hubs part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which you'll notice has a 5 bolt wheel bolt pattern. This is because the 4 bolt pattern isn't available with a hub/drum. Then for brake assemblies you'd want the set # AKEBRK-2, for brake flanges part # 4-34, and then for new wheels I attached a link to a page that has everything we offer with the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
view full answer... - How To Add Brakes To a Coleman Sedona Pop-Up CamperThe Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 is what I recommend using so long as you have the standard four bolt brake mounting flange. This will then work great with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K but you'll first need to verify that you currently use L44643 (1" Inner Diameter) bearings which should be the case. This means pulling the hubs unfortunately. So long as this works the above will be a direct fit. The only thing that's left is the Epicord 7-Way Molded...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hub Options for Trailer with BT8 SpindlesThanks for all of the info! It looks like you have a BT8 spindle so that's the type of replacement hubs you need. This style is available with a 4-bolt or 5-bolt pattern so I'll give my recommendations for each: - 4 on 4" Bolt Pattern # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-1K - 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-1K If you happen to need a hub and drum setup for a trailer with brakes then the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K is what you're needing instead. I've...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub/Drum and Brakes Needed for Dexter 3,500 lb Torsion Axles on 1994 Jayco Popup CamperThe early 90's is about when axle weight ratings and the parts that go with them started to become a bit more standardized so I'm not surprised that your Dexter 3,500 lb axles are using 10" wheels that fit with the 2,000 lb axle parts. For your application I recommend replacing everything and going with with electric brakes since they are easier to maintain and are more cost-effective. This will require you to add a brake controller and breakaway battery setup to your camper but you also...
view full answer... - What Size Brake Assemblies Will Fit with 12 inch Diameter WheelsSince you have 12 inch wheels you would have to go with a smaller hub/drum to fit underneath them. The standard size that would fit under a 12 inch rim is 7 x 1-3/4 like the part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which fits most 2k axles. But first we need to figure out what spindles you have on your trailer so that we can determine which hub/drum would fit and then build from there. The # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K would work if the bearings in your current hub are both L44643. If you check out the link I attached...

The Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs # AKEBRK-2 will use a standard 4 bolt pattern that will measure 2-7/8" from hole to hole around the outside and 4" when measured diagonally (picture included). This is a pretty common bolt pattern, but with your trailer being from 1996, I do recommend double...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub and Tire/Wheel for a 2K Boat Trailer AxleI do have hub and tire/wheel options for your application but unfortunately the dimensions you're needing for your boat trailer axle aren't close to standard measurements so you're looking at a custom order through your local trailer shop. With that being said, I'll go ahead and make some recommendations for hubs and tire/wheel combos so you'll be set once you get your axle. I do recommend making sure that your trailer shop gets an axle that matches the bearing and seal specs that I'm...

That way if down the road there is some issues with your wiring, you're going to know exactly where to look. You're going to need to add a 4 flat # 002220, and a 7 way connector # ETBC7. Next, you'll need to add rear lights # M880-7 if you do not have any currently. Finally, for brakes, you'll need to first determine what the axle capacity is first. You can determine this by checking the axle...
view full answer... - Recommended 7" Brakes with 5-Bolt Hubs for Motorcycle TrailerThe Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 when combined with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K will provide you with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern that is compatible with 12" wheels. If you don't already have brakes, you'll need to verify you have a four bolt brake mounting flange.
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the 1k and 2k Hubs for EZ Lube AxlesThe difference between the # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K and # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K is what bearing is used, and they are not interchangeable. If your spindle uses an # L44643 bearing in the hubs then you'll need the 1k, and if your hub uses the # L44649 then you'll need the 2k.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Brakes to 1992 Coleman Arcadia Pop-Up CamperBased 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 serial number. You will need the following parts to add brakes: -Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 7" - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8-257-5UC3 -Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - - 2,000- to 2,200-lbs...
view full answer... - How To Choose Correct Electric Brakes for Boat Trailer with 13" WheelsThe correct brakes and hubs/drums will be chosen based on the axle capacity. If the trailer came with 13" wheels then it likely has a 2,000 lb or 2,200 lb axle, not 3,500 lbs. If you have a 2,000 lb or 2,200 lb axle then I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K. The axle capacity can be verified by checking the axle tag or pulling the hubs and reading the bearing numbers.

For a compatible trailer hub assembly that features a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, I recommend the etrailer.com # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. This hub is designed for 2,000 pound axles and will work perfectly on the spindle that you mentioned. The bearings, races and grease seal are all included. For a hub and drum assembly, I recommend...

- How To Add Electric Brakes To An Aluma TrailerIn order to add electric brakes to a trailer you must first determine the axle capacity which can be found on a tag located in the center of the beam. Assuming the axle has brake mounting flanges (welded to the spindle), you can then add brakes based on the axle capacity such as the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 which is for 2,000 lb axles with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K. Then, you'd simply need the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit part # 277-000141....
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Swap Hydraulic Brakes to Electric Brakes on a 1998 Jayco Eagle 12 UDKWe can definitely get you the parts needed to swap over to electric brakes, but the 2,500 pound hydraulic brakes will end up being a different size than their electric counterparts. With that being said, the etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies # AKEBRK-2 will technically only be rated to 2,000 pounds, but the 4 bolt pattern on the backing plate will bolt directly to your axle. From what I could find, your 1998 Jayco Eagle 12 UDK came from the manufacturer...

The Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K includes the 1-1/16" inner diameter Bearings # L44649. To determine which ones will fit your axle you will need to remove the grease cap and spindle nut to find the number on the outer bearing. If there is not one of the bearing numbers stamped on your bearing you will need to measure the spindle using a Digital Caliper # PTW80157....

The only ones that are made fit larger hubs. If you would like a solution that is easier than standard grease application (packing your bearings) then I recommend going with some Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors. These are perfect for solutions where EZ Lube spindles aren't in place as they provide a grease zerk fitting as well as a way to see when you have pumped enough grease into your hub space (see attached...

I went out to our warehouse to confirm this for you. If you need a set of braking assemblies to use with them, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2. These assemblies have pads that are 1-1/4" wide though you could use larger should you need to do so.

Our current 7" Hubs # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K are designed to work with both the 1-1/4" wide or 1-3/4" wide brake assemblies.

If you have 2K axles (which seems likely since the GVWR was 2,190 lbs) then you need 7" brakes like the etrailer.com Kit # AKEBRK-2. These pair up with the hub and drum assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which has the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
