Replacement Hub/Drum and Brakes for a TetonX Trailer

Question:

I have a TetonX with Timbren 5200 axles and am looking for the inner seals item #/link Im also looking to chanage the backing plate to one that supports a parking brake - is item # 23-112-113 the correct part? I also want to remove the spacer blocks which are only used to match the lug pattern and get a toyota 6 on 5-1/2 pattern. Is item # 8-201-9UC3-EZ correct? Should I replace the spindles while Im in there? I might want to carry a spare in any case.

Yes, the 12" Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes - Parking Brake Ready # 23-112-113 and the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ are an excellent combination for your TetonX trailer.

Unless your spindles are in bad shape I'd leave them alone. Usually when spindles look like they need to be replaced it's because some major damage has happened and a lot of times the whole axle being replaced isn't uncommon. Should you decide to have a spindle (or a few of them) on hand then you'll want the #42 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Flange for 5.2K to 7K Trailer Axles - 2-1/4" Diameter # TRU37FR for that application.

Do you know the item # for the inner seal for the existing hub? I had to replace the existing bearings and the seal on one side and was able to get spare bearings, but the parts store only had the one seal. I'd like to get a spare seal now, before I replace everything.

@WendellR The replacement seal for the Hub/Drum we talked about above is part # GS-2125DL which has a 2.125" ID and a 3.376" OD. As long as this matches your current hub/drum you'll be good to go!
