Replacement Hubs for Dexter 5200-lbs Axle  

Question:

I recently acquired a shop built small cargo trailer with a single Dexter 5200 # trailer with no brakes. I intend to use this trailer for long distance travel as an Overlander trailer pulled by a Jeep Wrangler. I would prefer to use 5X5 idler hubs but would settle for 6X5.5 hubs if I cannot use 5X5. Here are the bearing numbers taken off the existing axle: T 25580 and LM67010 Inner seal is 2.12 in dia. Can you suggest a hub bearing combination you can supply?

I have a solution for you, but there is not an available hub that uses those bearings and also has a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Also, the # LM67010 you're referring to is bearing race that is found with the # LM67048 outer bearing, so you'll need a hub that takes the # 25580 inner bearing and # LM67048 outer bearing with the # LM67010 race.

To replace these hubs you'll want to use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-213-5UC1, which come with the above mentioned bearings and race and will be a good fit on your 5200-lbs Dexter axle. If you've got EZ Lube axles, the # 8-213-5UC1-EZ would be the correct hubs for you and also have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern; these hubs also come with the bearings included.

If you wanted to be able to add brakes at some point, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-5UC3, which would also be a fit and includes the bearings. The brakes that would fit in those drums would be the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. Since these brakes don't come with mounting hardware, you'll also need the # BRKH12 hardware kit.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
