Redline Trailer Brakes BRKH10B Review Video

The torque for the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 6,000-lb and 7,000-lb Axles - 12" - 5 Spoke Utility #8-174-5UC3 is not specified by the manufacturer. For 9/16 inch studs, the typical lug nut torque will be 120-140 ft lbs based on most…

If your trailer axle doesn't currently have brake mounting flanges you have a couple of options, one of which is to simply weld on flanges like you mentioned. A brake mounting flange needs to be welded perfectly square and concentric, which…

I am not sure what you mean by MTI number?

The difference between the two hubs part #84546UC3 and #84546UC3-EZ is the grease cap that comes with them. The part #84546UC3-EZ includes an EZ lube style of grease cap that has a rubber plug that can be removed for easy access to the zerk fitting.…

Yes you can use a Bearing Buddy on your current axle setup but you'll have to remove the zerk/grease fitting. What you have now is an EZ lube spindle which allows you to push grease through the middle of the spindle but you can install a Bearing…

Dexter is a manufacturer and not a distributor so yes, Dexter does actually manufacture their brake drum assemblies like the #84546UC3-EZ.

Yes, the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes will work with your 3,500 lb AL-KO axles. Brake assemblies attach to the brake mounting flange that is welded to the axle or spindle. The brake mounting flange on the 3,500 lb AL-KO axles uses a standard 4-bolt…

I was able to find the 126003 hub and was able to determine that it is a 3,500 lb hub/drum with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern just like the #AKHD-545-35-K that you referenced. This hub will work as a replacement for your Lippert.

The correct hub and drum assembly replacement for your Lippert 4,400 lb axle is the #8-407-5UC3-EZ. This comes with bearings and a grease seal. If you need brakes as well you can use the #LC66WD, or for self-adjusting brakes #K23-478-479.

It's definitely way less work to keep what you have, surge brakes, than it is to convert everything to electric. Personally I'd just stick with surge brakes, as the only benefit you really get to electric brakes is the adjustability of the…

The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…

It is potentially possible to change a hub from bolts to standard screw-in wheel studs. In order to do this a number of features have to match up between the bolts and studs. The diameters of both the original bolts and the replacement studs must be…
