Unless your axles were custom made/modified, the 3" diameter will denote an axle in the capacity range of 5,200 pounds (like the Dexter # 6340624) up to 7,000 pounds (like the Dexter # 8327834). If there was a previous owner of your trailer, they may have upped them to a heavier capacity, but even some manufacturers will equip trailers with heavier duty parts than needed. Especially if it is a newer trailer. Demand has been much higher than supply recently so I have seen a couple trailers... view full answer...

It is most likely the drum of your hubs basically getting the rust worn off if anything. I wouldn't say this is a typical issue though. If it was anything to do with the wiring or electrical side your brake controller would show that it wasn't connected during the time it wasn't working.
I would think that inspecting the brake assemblies and drums would lead you to what would need to be addressed. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me that the hub is manufactured in the US. The items we feature are the same as you would find on the Manufacturers site. Our price levels reflect what our costs are.The bearings are sourced and could be made in a number of places, most being outside the US. The 1/2 X 20 stud would mean it is a 1/2 inch bolt with 20 threads per inch. There would be a third dimension that would be the total length of the bolt including the head, so if you wanted... view full answer...

There is a way to determine the left from the right without taking off your hub for the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA.
Take a look at the back of the assembly, and you should see where the wires are sticking out and they are attached with a little clip; I have added a photo of the back of the # AKEBRK-35-SA for reference. The left (driver's side) will have the clip facing to the left hand side and the wires coming down out of it when oriented correctly. view full answer...
There are a couple ways to determine what kind of axle you have. If there aren't any part markings on the axle or anywhere else on the trailer frame that list your trailer axle specifications, you need to measure your spindle with a calipers to get a precise measurement. I couldn't find a matching bearing based on the measurements you provided, so make sure you are using the right equipment to take these spindle measurements. You can also measure the axle diameter to get an idea of the... view full answer...
An easy way to tell if your hubs were originally oil filled or packed with grease is to remove the cap of the hub. Typically, if it is a press-in cap it is a grease hub, and if it is a screw-in cap it is an oil bath hub.
Not only do semi trailers use oil bath hubs, there are many heavy duty trailers that will use them as well. If you have been putting grease in your hub so far and it has been working well for you, then I would just stay with the grease.
