Replacement Hub/Drum and Braking Assemblies for 6K Dexter Axle Torflex EZ Lube Axles
Question:
I have a utility trailer with 6k Dexter Torflex ez-lube axles. My drums are stamped 8-201 and my brake kits are 23-105/106. I would like to replace them with AKHD-655-6-EZ-K drum/hubs and AKEBRK-7L/R SA brake kits. It looks like these should be suitable replacement parts. Is there any reason this wont work out like I think it will?

You are 99% of the way there! The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K is the correct replacement for your 8-201 Dexter Axle Hub/Drum Assemblies # 8-201-9UC3-EZ with the exception of the grease seal that comes with it. The Dexter Axle option has a 2.125" ID while the etrailer option has a 2.250" ID so you just need to swap out those seals for part # RG06-090 and our hub/drum kit will match perfectly!
The Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA replaces your Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-105-106-09 without anything needing to be swapped out.
I have attached some installation videos that you can reference.
