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.
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"

Units fit well, drums are made in China, but I expected that given they are $100 less than the dexter units (who knows maybe dexter is made in China also). They did take a beating in delivery, one bearing was popped out (still in the bag) and all 4 rear grease seals popped out as well, but no damage to the actual assembly... I gave the 4 stars due to the China part..
by: Amish Outlaw04/17/2023
Sales rep all but guaranteed these were made in the USA by Dexter for etrailer, CHINA is cleverly hidden INSIDE the drum. They are not made in the USA, but CHINA doesn’t ALWAYS mean junk. Time will tell, but the last set of China drums were destroyed in one year. 2012 Ram factory controller set at 3.5 empty, 6.5 loaded around 9k. 20’ enclosed car trailer.
by: Kenneth 02/02/2024
This is a great product. I purchased the entire hub assembly for only a few dollars more than the parts needed to repair my old hub . Great pricing! The product arrived as scheduled. It fit perfectly. I will buy from them again. I recommend them to anyone looking for high quality parts at a good price.
by: Chase 04/18/2024
So far so good! Very easy to install. I put them on my 2013 ice castle and have driven roughly 800 miles on them so far and everything is working great.

The prepacked wheel bearings saved a lot of time and made the job easy.

I just received the two boxes of drums that I'm going to use to put brake on both axles. The UPS delivery driver said that one of the boxes was beat up and there may have been parts lost. It was packed with plastic cap over the outside bearing that prevented the bearing from coming out. GOOD job! Now if you can get away from "made in china" I'd be a lot happier. Additional cost of made in AMERICA for be worth it.

Packaging is horrible , one came in a completely different box all taped up , and another poking through the box that is scratched and dinged up

Oh no! I will have our Customer Service team contact you.

Hub and drum are great. Would have given 5 stars, but poor packaging and rough shipping led to the hub penetrating the box and the dust cover was lost through the hole.

Oh no! I will have Customer Service reach out to you to have the dust cap sent out right away.

The description didn't say it came with ezlube grease caps. I bought them separately but turns out they were included. Now i get to return them.

the hub and bearing kits are still working fine, serviced and bearings still look new, thanks

Exactly as described. Easy to install!
by: Camilo D.07/27/2016
It replaced the old drum and hub, electric brake assemblies, it was an exact fit. The outer bearing race was loose in the old hub drum assembly, that was the reason of my repair endeavor. I am very happy with the service I received from Etrailer.com... Thanks George J. for your effort in getting the replacement parts to me. I am considering doing right side of my axle for the sake of uniformity, as am writing this review!
by: Rickey02/05/2018
This is a Spare Hub for my Car/Equipment trailer .When not if you have a bearing Failure just change the Hub, no need to try to beat gaulded bearing Races out on the side of the Road !! But if its a easy Bearing Change they are included with this Kit .
by: Michael 03/16/2021
I have received 4 hubs and they were delivered Undamaged. I’ve installed 3 thus far. They fit perfectly. As soon as I get the forth one installed I’ll take the trailer out and test them. So far so good.

Good. Went on a trip last year after installing the the hubs. 24000 miles and 5 months. They performed great.

Trailer hub and drum assemblies purchased to replace original units on a 2002 tandem wheel boat trailer. The assemblies were quality units that fit perfectly, installation was easy.
by: Henry 04/30/2021
Very well made. Good fit and installed easily. Comes with new grease caps and lug nuts. Used these in conjunction with new brake assemblies. No problems and performs well. Would recommend these to anyone.
by: Brad R.06/30/2017
I am very pleased with the Loaded backing plates, drums, bearings and tandem axle hanger kit. All appear to be better quality than what came on the trailer originally
by: Patrick 06/26/2023
Came as described!
by: Sam k08/13/2016
Haven't put them on yet but everything matched up except the rear bearing and seal. I have an older trailer and the axels are different the old bearing still fit just fine in the hub. The delivery time was very impressive. When I get the trailer done I'll post some picks.
by: Ellie C.08/16/2016
Trailer brakes and drums arrived is perfect condition. Put them on the same afternoon they arrived. The fit is great and installation was easy. Great product for the do-it-yourself-er.
by: TIm M02/18/2016
I ordered four 5200lbs electric brake assemblies and 2 drum/hubs. The items were shipped quickly and arrived complete and were a perfect fit for my trailer. The best part was the savings over a local trailer supply store. Etrailer was almost half the price!!

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums
- What is Difference Between etrailer Trailer Hubs # AKHD-655-6-K and # AKHD-655-6-EZ-KThe only difference between the # AKHD-655-6-K and the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K is the cap that the hub uses. One is a solid cap and the other has a rubber plug that can come off for access to EZ lube fittings. Since you have caps already you could use either hub part number.
view full answer... - How to Read the Lippert Components Axle Description MeasurementsFor the LCI52-SB-86.5-68.5, the two ending measurements are: 1st - measurement from hub to hub, meaning the length of the axle in this case is 86.5 inches. 2nd - spring seat dimension where they're welded, meaning the spring seats are 68.5 inches apart. It looks like this is a 5200-lb capacity axle. So, you would need a hub like part # AKHD-655-6-K. I've linked to a list of those hubs for you. Once you've determined your wheel size and bolt pattern, it will help you determine which hub...
view full answer... - Is There A Kit For Converting Mobile Home Axles To 5 Or 6 Lug Trailer HubsWe won't have a kit, but there's a chance we might have parts to piece something together for you. I'll need to know the inner and outer wheel bearing reference number, the bolt pattern and size of your current wheels. Hopefully, we'll have a hub that is compatible with the wheel bearings you spindles use. Mobile home axles are designed for one-time use in moving a mobile home, and are meant to be discarded after that. Using mobile home axles and wheels seems like a great idea at the time...
view full answer... - How to Determine if Trailer Hub part # AKHD-655-6-K will Fit Trailer AxleWhether or not the Trailer Hub part # AKHD-655-6-K is going to fit your 10k trailer is going to depend on what axles your trailer has. Pull your hubs off that you currently have and measure the spindle where the bearings ride. If the dimensions are 1.25 inches and 1.75 inches and the grease seal diameter on it is 2.25 inches this hub will fit.

- Is the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-K 15 inch Wheel CompatibleYes, the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-K that you referenced is compatible with 15 inch trailer wheels. I attached a review video for this hub for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Solution for Needing Replacement Drum for AL KO 12 inch Hub/DrumThe armature surface of a hub/drum is not sold separately so if yours is damaged it would be time for a new hub/drum. So since you have an AL KO 12 inch hub drum with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern the hub you would want is the part # AKHD-655-6-K.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub/Drum Recommendation for 2014 Cedar Creek Silverback with 6K Dexter AxlesYour bearing configuration of 15123 and 25580 is actually pretty common. Based on that and the seal you have the correct hub/drum we have for you is the part # AKHD-655-6-K.
view full answer... - Do the Bearings Need to Be Packed When Switching from Oil to Grease LubricationWhen changing from oil to grease lubrication in your trailer hubs you will need to completely disassemble the hubs and bearings making sure to clean off all of the remaining oil. Once the old oil is removed you will then need to repack all of the bearings and install them back into the hub. The final greasing to fill the hubs can be done though the zerk fitting on the Bearing Buddy but the bearings will need to be packed prior to installing them. Please note that the seals will need to...
view full answer... - What is Hub Bore Diameter of Trailer Hub # AKHD-655-6-KThe center bore diameter of the trailer hub part # AKHD-655-6-K that you referenced is 3.409 inches. The wheels you have that have a 3.6 inch pilot diameter would fit over the hub bore.
view full answer... - Information Needed To Find Replacement Wheel Stud For Axletek Trailer HubTo verify we have the correct wheel stud I will need for you to remove one of the studs and measure the length of a good stud, thread diameter and pitch, length of knurled section and diameter of the hole it fits into. This information will ensure we find the correct part.
view full answer... - How Long Will Grease In Pre-Greased Hub Last When Kept In Trailer As A Spare?I was able to confirm that the grease in a pre-greased hub like the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-655-6-K will last roughly 5 years before needing to be changed, given the hub has not been installed and is kept out of the elements. I included a video of the # AKHD-655-6-K for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Height from Mounting Flange to Top of Grease Cap of etrailer Hub # AKHD-655-6-KI attached a picture that shows the dimension you are looking for on the trailer hub # AKHD-655-6-K. You'll note there are two different size caps that come with the hub.

- Can Trailer Hub and Drum AKHD-655-6-K be Used if the Outer Bearing & Race are Different than OriginaYes because the outer race 15245 is associated with outer bearing 15123 which has an inner diameter of 1.25". The race you have now, LM67010, is associated with bearing LM67048 which also has an inner diameter of 1.25". This means the new bearing will fit the spindle you have and matches the race for hub # AKHD-655-6-K.
view full answer... - Can a Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly Replace an AL-KO Trailer Hub and Drum AssemblyYes, an etrailer Hub and Drum like # AKHD-655-6-K will be interchangeable with an AL-KO hub and drum of the same size. When replacing the hubs, you need to make sure you get the proper hub for the spindle on the axle. Each trailer manufacturer uses a range of spindle sizes depending on the application. To determine the exact replacement, you will need to pull one of the existing hub/drums, locate the bearings, and get the bearing numbers that are stamped into both the inner and outer bearings....
view full answer... - Is Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-K Sold in Pairs or IndividuallyThe Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-K is sold individually. If you needed a pair of these you'd need to order a quantity of two. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - How to Tell if a Trailer Hub and Drum can Be Used with Electric Brake AssembliesIf you look at the inside of the drums you will need to look to see if the the magnet of the electric brake assemblies has a smooth surface to slide along. Typically it's the wheel studs of a hydraulic only drum that prevent the drum from being able to be used with electric assemblies. If the studs are recessed like in the picture I attached the assembly should work just fine.

- Recommended Trailer Hub for the # 15123 Outer BearingI have a recommendation for you, however, you will not be able to use the # 15123 bearing with your current hub. The 15123 bearing will fit on your spindle, but it will be too large for the hub and race. I have a few recommendations for you. If you have trailer brakes, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly 5,200 lbs. and 6,000 lbs. Axles # AKHD-655-6-K. This hub and drum will work with electric or hydraulic brakes. If you have an E-Z Lube Spindle, you will want the etrailer...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Hub Upgrade For Mobile Home AxleMobile home axles, hubs, and parts are designed for more of a one time use. Most of the time, replacement parts and options are not available. However, since you found the bearing numbers (Inner Bearing Item # 25580 and Outer Bearing Item # 15245) then Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, Item # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K, might work. Before going forward with this option, there a few things to consider regarding right fit of Item # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. First, This assembly is specially designed for E-Z...

view full answer... - Replacement Drive-In Wheel Stud for Hub/Drum BS2-655 A 655 hub/drum like # AKHD-655-6-K uses 1/2-inch drive-in studs that are 1-1/4-inches long. For a replacement stud you can use # 165981. This is slightly longer at 1-1/2-inches but it has the same 1/2-inch diameter.
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Controller for Electric Drum Brakes on Boat TrailerElectric drum brakes are found as OEM equipment on boat trailers more and more these days. This is due to their simpler 2-wire installation compared to what is involved with installing hydraulic brake lines, and also due to their moderate prices. There are no water-proof electric brakes, but what you can do to keep things right is simply to disconnect the trailer's electrical connector from the tow vehicle before backing the trailer into water. This action also helps to protect your trailer...
view full answer... - Replacement Brakes and Hub/Drums for Lippert 298276 and 122463The correct replacement hub and drum assembly for your Lippert 122463 is part # AKHD-655-6-K for a regular grease cap or part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K for an E-Z Lube grease cap. For replacement brakes the correct part is # AKEBRK-7-SA.

From researching the part numbers you put into your question for your 2006 Keystone Montana 3400RL, it looks like many may be obsolete part numbers. With that being said, since you know that you have 6k axles, you need 12" x 2" brakes. For this setup, I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 6K # 23-458-459.

The reason that it gets confusing, is because some of the parts are manufactured in China, while they are assembled here in the USA.
