Thoroughly Tested for Safety
This hub-and-drum assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This assembly has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.
E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-Compatible Assembly for Simple Lubrication
The grease cap on this hub-and-drum assembly is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube or etrailer Easy Grease axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

I was in desperate need for new hub/drum assemblies for my flatbed trailer. Once again etrailer came through for me. I particularly like the fact these arrive assembled with seals and pre-packed bearings.
Comments
These hub and drum assemblies worked great right out of the box. They were easy to install. I have since sold the trailer but the brakes made a big difference in use of the trailer and in the resale value.
J T - 03/26/2023by: James 05/26/2023
Just got back from trip to Bowling Green. Pulled camper with 3/4t Ram. Adjusted electric brake and all worked perfect. Now, I did have 3 tire separations. They were 3318 date code load E on a 6500# camper. 3 of four separated, today replaced. Now FYI, 3 YEARS REPLACE TIRES!!! I try to replace between 3 to 5 years but haven't used the camper but 4 times and about 2k miles.

I like ordering from here because of good service and quick delivery. I’ve only got about two thousand miles on my trailer since I changed bearings and hubs but everything seems to working out very well so far,very satisfied.
by: Mommaski07/21/2017
Our Flat bed trailer can do some pretty heavy work however we do not use this trailer all the time.
When the brakes failed we ordered from etrailer and the parts came in and we installed them without much ado.
Thank you for having all the parts we needed. After a year of seldom but heavy usage the self adjusting brakes are still working splendidly.
by: Lewis06/07/2020
these arrived ups in poorly wrapped boxes with one hub openly displayed but after close inspection it appears no damage and they fit onto the hub without issue. like they're pre-packed with grease, bearings so they are ready to install. they slid on easily and matched up with new brakes ordered earlier. all around great package for brakes overhaul. highly recommend
by: James03/24/2023
Christina helped me make sure that I ordered the correct hub. Ordered on Monday arrived on Thursday. Hubs came assembled and greased as advertised. Not knowing what grease was in the hub, I was concerned that there might not be enough grease to finish the job, like coating the axle or that finishing touch on the outer bearing. No worries, there was plenty of grease, more than I would have normally used. I'm not a grease expert but it seemed to be good stuff, very sticky and not overly stiff. I noticed that the couple of places that I could see a bearing, that the bearing had been pressure packed with streams of grease between the rollers. The hubs came in heavy, individual, corrigated boxes, and in a heavy plastic bag, perhaps explaning why they were clean and not banged up when I got them. Each end of the hub had a plastic plug in it to keep it clean. You'll need your axle washer, nut and retainer. Good on ya' Etrailer.

Hub and drum assembly fell apart in the center within one year! Bearings look fine!
by: Michael 07/14/2023
This was a perfect fit replacement assembly, pre-greased and everything ready to go. It made the repair an easy process.
by: Rob 03/01/2023
Great alternative to putting OE Dexter brakes on. Saved us over $1000 on each of our trailers that needed brakes replaced!
by: Darrin A.07/17/2018
This was way easier than expected, the hardest part was the mess inside, but installing the kit per the online video instructions was a snap and I encourage anyone to do theirs. Here's a couple after pictures.

Working great!
Darrin A - 07/17/2019by: Terry Murphy05/18/2017
The hubs bearings and seals are outstanding products and pretty simple to install. I had a small issue with the dust caps as they were to tight to just tap into the hub. I like the fact that the wheel studs in these hubs are a little longer than factory parts!
Great Product.

Hubs were bent, poor packaging

I am sorry that the brakes and hubs arrived damaged. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

by: Derick A. 09/21/2017
Parts were an exact match. I replaced the brake assemblies, drums and bearings on my toy hauler. Was not sure these would work with Lippert 5200 lb. axles but, etrailer assured me I was buying the parts I needed.

David W. Was awesome!!!!! Got 4 hubs in three days, delivered to the campground.... amazing!!! Have the ability to return home after vacation. Unbelievable!!
by: Jeff07/07/2022
The product seems ok. I ordered four and two packages out of the four were damaged to the point the grease was coming out of the outer bearing, covering the outside of the box.

I apologize for the way it arrived. I have sent this to customer service.

Perfect fit. Fast shipping

We have ordered many hubs for trailers through here and they are always so prompt at getting them to us.
by: Pete 02/21/2021
The wheel hub was extremely easy to replace. The video went into detail on how to remove the old and install the new. Since my RV was parked in a austere place, I went in prepared and the replacement was quick and easy. The wheel hub was exactly as described. It arrived a couple of days late but that was purely due to a bad winter storm that shut everything down.
Comments
Still working fine
Pete - 03/11/2022by: Steve P.08/08/2016
I purchased this hub assy to replace a bad hub on a Lippert 5200# axle (race was spinning). Also replaced brake shoes on both sides of axle using shoes ordered at same time hub was ordered from e trailer. Hub & brake shoes have been installed and tested. All works fine. The replacement hub and shoes were an exact match to old parts except for some minor casting differences in replacement hub exterior. Hub and brake shoes were shipped in the same carton and although hub movement squashed a brake shoe box in transit all parts were there and none had damage. Parts arrived 1 day ahead of schedule. Hub assy is very complete, I only needed to supply grease and cotter pin. I was unable to install new hub dust cover supplied for some reason, seemed oversize, but old one fit fine. I will use e trailer again because of my positive experience with my order, Thanks.

No problems at all, 700 miles, no noise. I would buy again.

After the old backing plate was removed from my 20 year old boat trailer, the installation of the new backing plate and break assemble took less then one hour . The drum with the bearings installed slid right on .
by: Frank01/30/2019
These brakes are excellent. I have had zero issues with them since the day they were installed.
NOTE: On average I haul around 8K lbs and also not often so take my review with a grain of salt. Sometimes the load is heavy (a front end loader) and other times it's not (trash run). Either scenario, no issues. A quick gain adjustment and brake check and I'm gone. I checked the bearing play after a week or so and around the 8 month mark. Both times were A+. I think I'm 17 months into ownership. They're still working flawlessly.
When new, these drums had little OOR (out-of-round) which surprised me. Most drums have some sort of noticeable OOR. These no so much. My trailer stops quietly and effortlessly now. No pulsation, skipping, tugging, etc.
Would I buy these again? ABSOLUTELY!!
Comments
Still working great!
Frank - 07/09/2020by: Steve 07/14/2022
Seems to work well no visible problems. Not sure what kind of grease was used in hub. Hopefully it wasn't a moly grease or the hub won't last long. Was to much in it to clean so took the chance. Would of liked it to come without any so I could use #2 lithium.
by: Brent04/24/2022
great product. super easy to grease wheel bearings with these. easily remedies one of the most forgotten and most important parts of trailer maintenance.

- What is Difference Between etrailer Trailer Hubs # AKHD-655-6-K and # AKHD-655-6-EZ-KThe only difference between the # AKHD-655-6-K and the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K is the cap that the hub uses. One is a solid cap and the other has a rubber plug that can come off for access to EZ lube fittings. Since you have caps already you could use either hub part number.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hub for the # 15123 Outer BearingI have a recommendation for you, however, you will not be able to use the # 15123 bearing with your current hub. The 15123 bearing will fit on your spindle, but it will be too large for the hub and race. I have a few recommendations for you. If you have trailer brakes, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly 5,200 lbs. and 6,000 lbs. Axles # AKHD-655-6-K. This hub and drum will work with electric or hydraulic brakes. If you have an E-Z Lube Spindle, you will want the etrailer...
view full answer... - Installing Castle Nut in Hub and Drum AssemblyThere are actually no specific torque specs for a hub and drum such as the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. You really need to do it by feel, tightening it down so the hub spins but there isn't any looseness or movement from the hub on the spindle. If you go to about the 2:40 mark of the linked video you can see our installer putting on a castle nut.

- Will etrailer EZ Lube Hub AKHD-655-6-EZ-K Fit an AL/KO Axle Rated for 4400 PoundsWe have a hub and drum for 4400 pound axles but it uses bearings that are not compatible with the spindles on your trailer axle. You would need to go with a hub and drum that has bearings that are compatible even if that assembly is rated higher than the axle (you would still be limited to the axle capacity). The 15245 is a race number. The bearing associated with that race is 15123. So you can use hub and drum assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. This assembly is compatible with 15 to 18-1/2...
view full answer... - Who Makes the Bearings for AxleTek/etrailer Trailer Hub and Drum AssembliesThe bearings included with hub # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K are made by TRP International. They make a lot of trailer and RV parts including hubs and brakes as well. They are members of several RVing and trailering organizations including NATDA, NATM, RVIA, and FEMA (Farm Equipment Manufacturing Association; not to be confused with the Federal Emergency Management Agency).
view full answer... - Replacement Hub and Drum Recommendation for Lippert 6k Trailer AxleYour picture didn't make it through, but the trailer hub and drum part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K is a confirmed fit for a 6k Lippert trailer axle like what you have and has the correct 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you need. It also comes with the needed bearings and seal as well.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Wheel Fit on Hub if the Center Hole is Larger Than Hub BoreIf the center hole of your wheel is larger than the hub bore of the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K this would not be a problem at all. The wheel actually centers on the hubs by the lug nuts so having extra room for the wheel center isn't a problem at all. It's actually very normal.

This hub includes the inner and outer bearings, inner and outer races, grease seal, grease cap, and lug nuts needed. You will need two of the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K per axle. I included a few videos of the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - 6 Lug Trailer Hub with for Spindle Bearing Dimensions of 1.75 and 1.25 inchYour dimensions are VERY close to what the standard 5,200 through 6,000 lb trailer axle bearings are designed for like what the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K uses. This has bearing dimensions of 1.75 and and 1.25 inch so it's very close. I would recommend remeasuring what you have to see if maybe the inner bearing is 1.75 inch. I would be shocked if it wasn't.
view full answer... - Will etrailer 5.2K and 6K Trailer Hubs Work with Aluminum WheelsYes, the studs on the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5.2K & 6K Axles # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K can be used with aluminum trailer wheels. I'm attaching our selection of aluminum wheels that fit with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern for you to filter through. If you let me know what size tires you're needing I can make a recommendation for you if you'd like.
view full answer... - Should There Be Any Play After Installing An Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum AssemblyYou shouldn't really have any play with the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. If you are getting play in it then the bearings most likely are either not set correctly or were the incorrect choice for your axle's spindle. I recommend removing the hub and measuring your spindle with a set of calipers at points B, C, and D from the diagram below. Once we have these measurements we can ensure that you have the correct bearing/hub combination. As for the installation...

The bearings are already packed with grease, so the hub is ready to install. I'd recommend using some additional all-purpose marine wheel bearing grease like # L11465, and smearing a good coating on the spindles as some extra added insurance. I've linked to a product description video featuring this hub/drum. All this being said, since this is for a boat trailer I'd instead...

The potential problem with using 12 inch assemblies like these with larger 17 or 18 inch wheels isn't necessarily due to the brakes themselves but the hubs they will fit, such as the etrailer.com # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. A 12 inch hub and drum assembly may not provide enough surface area to safely support a wheel of that size....

From researching the part numbers you put into your question for your 2006 Keystone Montana 3400RL, it looks like many may be obsolete part numbers. With that being said, since you know that you have 6k axles, you need 12" x 2" brakes. For this setup, I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 6K # 23-458-459.

- Pre-Greased Hub/Drum for 3500 lb Spindles on 2018 R Pod 178 and Four Winns D0210S02 TrailerIf you have a 3500 lb axle, you'll have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. You can confirm this by measuring the center to center distance between 2 adjacent wheel studs.
