Review of Dexter Axle Trailer Hubs and Drums - Hub with Integrated Drum - K08-201-98 Video

Thanks for all of the info on the axle you have on your trailer. Since you have a Dexter 5,200 lb axle with a 6 lug bolt pattern the correct hub/drum you need is the Dexter #K08-201-98.

I'd be happy to help! To figure out if new modern brakes will work on your vintage Airstream you'll need to figure out which size your brakes are. Based on your picture it looks like you have a 5 bolt mounting flange similar to what…

Yes, the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit #23-180-181 will fit the 5,200lb AL-KO axles. I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit #23-458-459. This will allow the brakes to self adjust meaning less hassle for you adjusting…

The difference between the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7,000 lbs #23-180-181 and the #23-105-106 you mentioned are the strength of the brake magnets. The #23-180-181 was designed for 7000lb axles…

If the brake magnet is worn to the point that the windings are visible then you know it's time to replace the magnet. However, magnets can also fail without the visible signs of wear. Check out the FAQ article I attached on testing brake magnets…

We do indeed have a center cap that will fit your #AM20545 Dexstar Mini Mod wheel. I'd recommend the #AM90175 cap from Americana that features a stainless finish and a removable plug to access the zerk fitting if you have EZ Lube spindles. If you…

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

Is this a recent problem, or an ongoing one? A transfer switch will switch between power sources, typically between generator and shore power. Typically it'll either work or it won't. What you have going on sounds like a wiring issue. Since…

The short answer is Yes, bearing #15123 is slightly larger and stronger than #LM67048 and they use different races which means they are not interchangeable. Bearing 15123 uses race #15245 which has an outer diameter of 2.441 inches and bearing…

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…

Are you trying to pick out brake shoes or all new brake assemblies? Normally you measure the depth of the hub drum and then measure the diameter of it and you'll know which size you have. I attached a picture that shows where to measure. If shoes…

I spoke to my contact at Lippert Components Incorporated (LCI) about the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers that you have on your trailer. They informed me that the equalizer does not need to be greased regularly though it would not hurt to spray a bit…
