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.


Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Side

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.

Yikes that sounds like quite of bit of damage to the box. I will have our Customer Service team contact you so that we can have the missing parts shipped out.

great service

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:

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:

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.

Great quality product. Complete drum and hub assembly makes replacement very easy

Been using it for over a year now on my pop up camper and has been very dependable.

    We do have the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for Standard # 8-271-7UC3 or EZ Lube # 8-271-7UC3-EZ axles. These are the 8-271 hubs you have with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. These fit on a 1-1/16" diameter BTR spindle. They include all the bearings, races, seal, lug nuts and grease cap. If you only have a 1" BT8 spindle you will need the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K. The easiest way to verify is by removing the hub castle nut and checking the part...

    Your 20.5 x 8 - 10 tire, or also stated as 205/65-10 is compatible with 7 inch brake assemblies, like # AKEBRK-2. You'll also want to examine the armature surface of the brake drums where the brake magnet rides. If this surface is pitted and/or has grooves worn in it, you'll want to replace the drums as well. If your hubs use a L44649 inner and outer bearing and have a 4 bolt lug pattern, use # 8-173-16UC3. If you have a 5 lug with L44649 bearings, use # AKHD-545-2-2K or for L44643 bearings,...

  • Parts Needed to Add Brakes to a Trailer with 2,000 lb Axle Spindles
    Since 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.

    Unfortunately there are no oil bath hubs available for your specific application. The only ones that are made fit larger hubs.

  • What Size Brake Assemblies Will Fit with 12 inch Diameter Wheels
    Since 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...

    With a single axle trailer rated for 2232 lbs. you have either a 3500 lbs. or something closer to a 2000 lbs. axle. Before purchasing anything you need to determine the correct one which you can easily do by checking the bearings once you have the trailer. If your outer and inner bearings are both # L44643 that means you have a 2000 lbs. axle and need 7 inch brakes.

  • Parts Needed to Swap Hydraulic Brakes to Electric Brakes on a 1998 Jayco Eagle 12 UDK
    We 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.

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.

    In 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.

  • How To Choose Correct Electric Brakes for Boat Trailer with 13" Wheels
    The 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.
