So the brand is etrailer brand, but I believe you are likely asking the manufacturer, which is AxleTek for the 7K hub and drum you asked about:

- Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 7,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 8 on 6-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-865-7-1-K

The # AKHD-865-7-1-K comes pre-greased and includes the bearings, races, and grease seal so you're all set with this hub and drum combo.

That's pretty crazy that you ended up shearing off all 8 of your wheel studs. Normally they will break one at a time but not all together like that. This makes me wonder if maybe you were losing them all one at a time until the last few went out…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
