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"

Hubs matched to my original Dexter hubs. The prices was more than 50% less than Dexter axles; well worth the savings.
Bearings came installed; made installation a breeze. Slide them on and put on retaining washer, nut and retaining bracket.
I’d buy them again (today) will re-evaluate in a year.

This is the trailer I built using your spindles and electric brakes.
It towed beautifully from Texas to Kansas City and back for the World of Wheels.

Purchased a used 2016 Keystone Hideout Trailer and wanted to be sure it was safe going down the road. These four assemblies were clean, packaged well and fit as expected. We will be headed out to campsite next month and will update this review ONLY if their is a discrepancy, otherwise, we are very satisfied with our etrailer purchase.
by: Robert08/31/2022
Easily installed... Pre-greased bearing... Should have come with new axel nut, cotter key and bearing washer, but didn't.. Used old ones...
by: Mike06/03/2017
This is my second order. I ordered for the rear axle first. The parts looked good. So ordered for the other axle. The seals are robust and double seal design. But the bearing are China bearings. Would have liked to seen timkin or the like but are serviceable. The break kit fit well and looks good. We will see how they do on my 2500 mile round trip thru the mountains with a small truck loaded on it. The operators both times were very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Keep up the good work and I'll keep buying!

Put about 3000 miles with zero issues. They performed better than expected. I have ordered several items since then and the operators are all knowledgeable and all ways willing to do what they can to ensure a proper order and that Im satisfied with my order

Pleased with the quality of these hub/drum assemblies. Bearings were nicely pre-greased. Kit comes with solid bearing hub covers and bearing buddy types with removable rubber grease plugs...your choice.
by: Lawrence11/11/2023
I ordered an easy grease trailer hub and drum assembly to replace the one on my 14 foot cargo trailer which was damaged by a defective magnet. The one I ordered fit perfectly. Since it came pre-greased, it saved quite a bit of time because I did not have to pack the bearings and press in the seal.
by: Donald 02/12/2024
I think your a great company but my hub drum assembly was a little out of round.
This is probably from storage by the manufacturer.
Have great day! Don
by: Shannon04/29/2018
I ordered the hub and idler set, my trailer came with 15x5 hubs and I ordered 15x4.5 rims. Since they wouldn't return my rims I ordered the correct hubs from etrailer. Got my box only had one seal slightly damaged. Installing was a breeze and happy with my purchase... Website was very user friendly as my first plan was to do a 6lug but I talked myself out of it. Thanks etrailer good job, nice company to deal with.

It is a bummer that it arrived missing the grease caps. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
by: Allen09/11/2023
Received the hubs very quickly. They were well greesed and ready to go. They look well machined. I did have one lug nut that had something wrong with the threads. I might could have used it, but since it would not thread on by hand I did not want to try it since it might damage the stud. I went on line and did a chat with etrailer. Thier customer service is top rated. They shipped me out another lug nut. This is why I do business with etrailer. They understand the needs of the customer and understand the products they sell.
I installed the hubs this weekend and took the trailer for a test pull. Needed to adjust the brakes up a little, but all was well.
by: Keith 03/20/2024
drums and brakes went together perfectly. Amy J was a big help.
by: Walter 07/23/2023
Perfect fit for the corresponding e-trailer brake assembly. Even comes with lug nuts, but I didn’t use them because they are a size up from whats on the rest of my trailer wheels. Same thread, just different lug wrench size. Personally, e-trailer, I’d forgo including the lug nuts and instead, include the mounting hardware with your e-trailer brake assemblies.
by: David 02/07/2024
Service was great and the shipping was fast. As always etrailer out performs its competitors.
by: Jeffery03/28/2024
One of the lug nuts was damaged and could not be used. I would like a cotter pin and a flat washer included in this assembly.
by: John03/28/2024
I haven't received my leaf springs at the same time. I ordered them within minutes of each other. So I have to wait until next week now. Once I get things together I can make an accurate assessment. Probably the only gripe of mine is that I have to wait now. Thanks for the follow up.

Came quicker than expected. Missing hardware though. Box was damaged.

Hubs went on easily. Having the bearings pre-greased and everything already assembled right out of the box was nice.
by: Bradley01/21/2022
Not completely sure if it is the brake assemblies or the drums but the combination of this and dexter brakes was a waste . Do not buy . They work enough to stop spinning the wheel on a jack but that's it.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. I do have a solution to offer in that I recommend breaking in the brakes. The break-in process applies to both manual adjusting and self-adjusting electric brakes. Its necessary to do this step when you install new brakes because it allows the brake shoes and magnet to seat into the drum. We have a FAQ about adjusting the brakes that covers breaking in the brakes very well.

- Difference between etrailer.com Hub/Drums AKHD-545-35-K and AKHD-545-35-EZ-KYou are correct. The only difference between the two hubs you mentioned # AKHD-545-35-K and # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the grease cap. The # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K has a rubber plug on the grease cap to allow for easy access to a zerk fitting on an EZ lube spindle whereas the # AKHD-545-35-K has a cap that does not have the plug.
view full answer... - Comparing the E-Z Lube Hubs to the Standard Hub Assemblies for Trailer AxlesThe difference between the standard and EZ hubs is in the grease cap. For instance, the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the same hub, bearings, seal, and races as found in # AKHD-545-35-K but the grease cap is different. The grease cap is not only longer on the E-Z Lube Hubs but also has a rubber plug. The purpose of the length and the plug are to have enough room for and access to the grease zerk fitting integrated into E-Z lube axle spindles....

I suppose you could order the hub that comes with standard grease caps and just reuse your easy lube caps but I recommend the hub that comes with the easy lube grease caps since you would get newer, better components this way.

- Can etrailer E-Z Lube Hub and Drum Assembly Work with Lippert SuperLube AxleAs long as the SuperLube spindles on your trailer use the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, the etrailer E-Z Lube Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K will work perfectly. The only thing different about the SuperLube spindles when compared to a standard unit is that it features a built-in zerk fitting to allow for easy lubrication without having to remove the entire hub assembly. The Dexter E-Z Lube spindles use this same design. The etrailer hub that you purchased...
view full answer... - Are Trailer Spindles with Zerk Fittings EZ Lube SpindlesYou have an EZ lube style spindle based on having the zerk fitting. They aren't all the same but it's the same as the Dexter kits you mentioned. It's actually a common misconception that you are supposed to use the fitting to push out all of the old grease with new grease. While that sounds great in theory it commonly puts too much grease in the hub and the seal fails due to pressure. I'd recommend repacking by hand for best result! I attached a couple help articles on packing trailer...
view full answer... - Factors to Consider When Selecting Replacement Idler Hub for Bass Tracker TrailerThe things that matter when selecting a replacement hub are 1) the wheel bolt pattern (to ensure your current wheels will fit); 2) the hub weight rating (each hub should be rated for at least half of the axle capacity); and 3) the bearings/seals used (the new hub must use the same inner and outer bearings and grease seal in order for it to fit properly on your spindles). If all of these factors are correct then it does not matter if one hub has a slightly different depth dimension, and...

- How To Find Correct Hub/Drum Replacements for Four Winns TrailerIn order to choose the correct replacement hub/drum for a trailer you'll need to know the axle capacity which is usually found on an tag in the center of the beam. Once this is obtained you'll also need to know the bolt pattern. The etrailer Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K for example is for 3,500 lbs axles and has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This is one of the most common hub/drum replacements.

- Replacement Hub for Enclosed Cargo Trailer with Lippert lc135-d Trailer AxleI looked online trying to find any information about the Lippert LC135-D axle, and was not able to find anything.

If the inner bearing is L68149 and the outer is L44649, and the grease seal used has an outer diameter of 2.565 inches and an inner diameter of 1.719, your existing hubs have five 1/2 inch diameter wheel studs on a 4-1/2 inch bolt circle, then the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K you referenced...

- Does 3,500 lb Trailer Hub Drum Have Hole for Adjusting Brake Assembly TightnessThe reason there isn't a hole in the drums for adjusting brake assemblies is because the hole that was designed for that is actually on the brake assembly backing plate. So a hub/drum like the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K would be all that you'd need as this is the right size, capacity, and has the correct 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
