Hi Larry,
In order to determine the correct hub/drum assembly for your trailer we'll need to first determine the bearings and grease seal part numbers so we can check compatibility. The Dexter Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # 84546UC3-EZ uses the following bearing and seal combination:
Inner bearing # L68149 (1.378" inner diameter)
Outer bearing # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter)
Grease Seal # 58846 (1.719" Inner diameter)

Absolutely Tom, the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5 you found will allow you to use a 15" wheel. I will say you will want to ensure your wheels are trailer specific wheels as I have seen issues trouble when some try to use automobile wheels with large amounts of offset. view full answer...
The Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-G-EZ-K comes with a Dust Cap and Rubber Plug # DC250L-DCRP. This cap fits the 2.45" hub opening. view full answer...
There is only one 6 lug hub that fits those bearing sizes. It is the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. It uses an inner bearing item # L68149 with an I.D. of 1.378", and outer bearing item # LM67048 with an I.D. of 1.25".
This hub and drum assembly is designed for 10" braking assemblies like item # K23-462-463-00. view full answer...
With an easy-lube spindle you'll typically want a grease cap that has the rubber plug for easy access to the grease zerk. That being said, you can still use a normal grease cap and just remove it whenever you need to add more grease to the spindle. In your case where the wheel blocks end of the spindle I'd just save the extra buck you'd spend on an easy-lube cap and use the standard cap.

Hello Chad. The Lippert 7,000 lb axles use standard sizing for all the bearings, hubs and brakes making them all pretty simple to replace.
For a hub assembly I recommend the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum for 5.2K to 7K Axles # AKHD-865-7-G-EZ-K. This is a galvanized steel hub with a 12" drum and an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, all of which are standard for the 7K axles. This hub comes with bearings, seals, races, lug nuts and a grease cap.
For your brake assemblies I recommend the TruRyde... view full answer...
Due to the weight capacity of the axle on your M1102 Light Tactical Trailer the only bolt patterns that will fit your spindle are a 6 on 5-1/2" or 8 on 6-1/2". You would have to replace your Spindle # TRU74FR on each side of your axle which would then require you to get new Brakes # AKFBBRK-35 and then 2 Hub/Drums # AKHD-555-35-K to have the 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. Do understand this will lower the capacity of your trailer so if that is a problem you are going to have to stick with the... view full answer...
Hey Drew, for the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR1200S04 you can use the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-35-SA for brakes, and # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K for a hub and drum assembly. view full answer...
Hey Mauricio,
Really appreciate the photos that was super helpful, and we can get you set up with new electric trailer brakes. Since you have a 12" AL-KO hub & drum, you need a certain set of electric brakes to fit the bolt pattern, so the correct brakes are the following:
- Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 6K AL-KO/Hayes Axles # 23-105-106-09
The only thing to note is these brakes do not come with the mounting hardware, so the other thing you'll need is Mounting... view full answer...
Hello George. I can confirm that yes, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ will indeed fit your Lippert 7K axle. I was able to get ahold of Lippert and they confirmed the following specs for your axle:
7K
Inner race - 25520
Inner bearing - 25580
Outer race - 14276
Outer bearing - 14125A
Grease seal - 2.250 Inch I.D. - 3.376 Inch O.D. view full answer...
The # 8-247-50UC3-EZ and # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K will both fit and work with your 13" wheels. These are also compatible with the # 40716-15 from your previous question. For the most part it comes down to cost between the two hub/drum assemblies. However, since this will be going in the water on your boat trailer I would stick with the Dexter which has the 500-hour salt spray rating.
The Hydraulic Brake Kit # AKFBBRK-35-D will work with your 13" wheels but I would stick with the Demco. The... view full answer...
Hey Cody,
With the shortages on grease these last couple of years manufacturers have been buying from multiple brands to keep up with demand. If you're repacking the bearings of just adding a bit in through the easy lube zerk fittings you can use some LubriMatic Prime Guard High Temperature Wheel Bearing Grease # L11380. view full answer...
When replacing regular axles with a Timbren Axle-Less system, you will absolutely want the Timbren axles to go in the same place as the existing axles. Axle placement is critical to the weight distribution and ride quality of the trailer. Trailers are designed around a specific axle placement. Moving the axles farther forward or backward can lead to issues with sway and/or ride quality.
Also, a lot of times the tires will need to fit inside the existing fender area or wheel well, so there... view full answer...
It is very likely you can swap out the 6 lug hubs of your trailer with an 8 lug hub but it does come down to what axle capacity you have to determine what you need. If you check out the link I attached on this page you'll see all of the 8 lug hubs we carry. You'll need to select the axle capacity you have on the filters on the page to see what hubs will fit. view full answer...
Good morning potential customer. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 84545BX will require a wheel with a 3.19" pilot diameter. So, the 2.62" wheel you were looking at will not be compatible with this hub. The 3.19" pilot however, is basically standard for 5 on 4-1/2" wheels so this will leave you with lots of options for a wheel/tire combo. I see you were looking at some 205/75-15 tires. The link below will show you our full selection of tires in this size. view full answer...
I have some good news for you Derek, the hub pilot of trailer wheels is not as important as on most vehicles since smaller trailer wheels like yours are going to be lug centric and not hub centric. So the Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Black Mod Wheel # AM35354 you found will fit a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern hub with the larger 3.19" pilot hole. The wheel centers itself on the wheel studs with the tapered lug nuts rather than relying on the hub center to position the... view full answer...
If you can send me the diameter of the spindle where the grease seal sits and the diameter of the hub where the seal is pressed onto I can verify if we have the correct seal.
Currently I do see we carry 2 hubs which use the Inner Bearing # LM67048 and Outer Bearing # LM11949. First is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,500-lb Axles # DX22XR which uses the Seal # 168233. This seal has an inner diameter of 1.688" and outer diameter of 2.332". The other hub is an Agricultural Hub... view full answer...
Yes, the 2 Trailer Idler Hub Assemblies # TA88545-2 will fit on 2 of the BTR E-Z Lube Spindles # TRU27FR. The hubs include the correct Bearings # L44649, Races # L44610, Seals # RG06-020 and Grease Caps # RG04-040 for the spindle. view full answer...
Hey Hiram, what you described does not sound good. It sounds like the bore of the hub is too wide for the pilot diameter (center hole diameter) of your wheel so the wheel isn't sitting flush. If you attempted to drive with this setup bad things are most likely going to happen. view full answer...
Yes, the center cap on the Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # AX02455545BMFL that you referenced is compatible with Bearing Buddies. It would be big enough to fit over the Axel. view full answer...
