Replacement Hub and Brakes for a Dexter 8-201 Hub

Question

Question:

Hello , I recently bought a new camper and would like to purchase a spare “loaded” hub/brake drum assembly. The camper is a 2022 Grand Design Reflection 150, 5th wheel with Dexter 5100# axles. The current drum assemblies are Dexter 8-201, which are 6 lug on 5-1/2” bolt pattern. Axles also are Nev-r-adjust. Thank you!

Congrats on the new camper! For an extra Dexter 8-201 hub you will want the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. These are sold individually but can be used on either side.

For a spare set of Nev-r-adjust brake assemblies you'll want the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit item # 23-458-459. This is a left and right hand set so you'll be covered if something happens to either side.

The biggest difference between the hubs part #8-201-5UC3 and #8-201-9UC3-EZ is the grease cap style and the weight capacity. The #8-201-5UC3 is for non EZ lube spindles basically which means it has a solid grease cap and has a 2,600 lb capacity, and…

Answer 6

The hub you mentioned part number K08-201-91 is our part #8-201-9UC3-EZ and is a 6k axle from Dexter. It's actually pretty common though for axles with capacities ranging from 5,200 to 7,000 lb to share same hub setups so I could see pretty…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
