Question:
Which brake drum hub will work? Don’t know brand of hub but I took measurements based off picture I found on your website. Please help. B: 2.25” C: 1.74” D: 1.24” E: .99” Shaft measures 5” from B to E or end of seal lip to end of threads. Thank you

Thank you for those measurements they were great and we do have the hub and drum you need, you just need to know if you need a 6 lug or 8 lug hub, as well as your axle's weight capacity, though it should be between 5,200 lbs and 7,000 lbs.
- 6 lugs: Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-655-6-K
- 8 lugs: Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 8 on 6-1/2 # 42866UC3
For grease (for the Dexter hub which is not pre-greased) I recommend the LubriMatic Disc/Drum Brake and Wheel Bearing Grease # L11382; for a bearing packer I recommend the Bearing Packer # PTW1218 or # ALL647646.
I've added links to video reviews of both options for you to check out.
