  • Replacement for UFP HD1377 Trailer Hub/Drum
  • From my research, the correct replacement for the UFP HD1377 hub/drum is the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-K or the Dexter 5 on 4-1/2 Complete Hub-and-Drum Assembly part # 84546UC3. These hub/drums both use a L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) inner bearing and a L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) outer bearing. The access hole you're referring to is more than likely used to monitor pad wear as it would not be for a drain. It could also help to dissipate the heat build up inside...

  • Trailer Hub/Drums for 3500-lb Axle with Drum Brakes
  • The trailer hub # AKIHUB-545-35-K is an idler type hub that is intended for trailers without brakes. On the linked page you can view all hub/drums for trailers with drum brakes that carry the same 3500-lb axle weight rating, use the same 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern and use the same set of bearings, inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649.

  • Can Trailer Hub and Drum # 8-257-5UC3-EZ be Used with 14 Inch Wheels on a 2K Flexride Torsion Axle
  • You can use hub and drum assembly # 8-257-5UC3-EZ with a 14 inch wheel. However since there will be more force with the larger wheel when it is spinning you will not get the optimum braking performance. All the hubs that have the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and fit 2,000 pound axles will all say 10 to 13 inch wheels but you can use a 14 inch. Just be aware that the braking performance will not be ideal. The brakes that are compatible with this hub and drum are # 23-47 for the left side and...

  • Can Electric Trailer Brakes be Used with Hydraulic Brake Hub and Drums
  • Some hub/drum assemblies can accept either electric or hydraulic brakes and some can only accept one or the other. It has to do with the amount of space inside the drum itself. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 8-257-5UC3, is designed for electric brake assemblies. On many drums you can use either electric or hydraulic brakes. Since you are switching over to electric brakes it would be best to also change the hub/drum assemblies to some that are made specifically for electric brake...

  • Correct Replacement Wheel Mounting Bolts for a Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles
  • The Replacement Mounting Stud for Dexter 5 on 4-1/2 Hub and Drum for Hydraulic Brakes # T0508101 is not going to work with the Dexter Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # 84546UC3-EZ you're looking at as these bolts were meant to replace the bolts on the no longer available Titan 5 on 4-1/2 Hub and Drum T1543900CB042, which uses press in bolts, whereas # 84546UC3-EZ uses drive in bolts. Instead, for the Dexter Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # 84546UC3-EZ you'd...

  • How To Find New Hub/Drums with Oil Baths for Trailer Axle
  • In order to find the correct hub/drum for a trailer you'll need to know the axle capacity. This can most easily be found listed on the axle tag in the center of the beam. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-285-10UC3-A for example is for 8,000 lb axles and uses an oil bath. It might be worthwhile to make sure the pilot hole on the wheel exceeds that of the hub as well. This one is 4-3/4". Please let me know the axle capacity so I can confirm the correct hub/drum. I have attached...

  • The etrailer Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2" # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K does have specific requirements for a fit on your spindle, as would any replacement hub and drum that you purchase.

  • Compatibility between UFP HD1377 Drum/Hub and AKUBRK-35-D Trailer Brake Assembly
  • The UFP HD377 is a 10 inch hub drum for a typical 3.5K axle. The # AKUBRK-35-D brake assembly you'd looked at is compatible with a 10 x 2-1/4 inch hub drum, as long a the inside width and depth dimensions of your existing hub match that, the assembly would work perfectly for you. I'd make sure that the inside surface of the existing hub/drum where the brake pads would contact are in good condition. If not, the proper replacement hub/drum is part # AKHD-545-35-K
