The replacement hub/drum you mentioned, part # 8-201-5UC3 is rated for a 5200 lb axle (a de-rated 6000 lb axle). That particular hub/drum is compatible with a 25580 inner and a LM67048 outer wheel bearing. If your axle is indeed rated for 6K and uses a 25580 inner and 15123 outer wheel bearing. If that's the case, you'd need the # 8-201-9UC3-EZ hub/drum. The different outer bearing is what de-rates the hub.

The hubs include the races, bearings, grease seals, lug nuts and grease caps compatible with EZ Lube spindles . The hub has a 6 lug on 5-1/2 inch bolt circle bolt pattern.
