This hub-and-drum assembly is for trailers with electric or hydraulic drum brakes. The drum gives the brake shoes a surface to grip when the brake is activated. It fits 5.2K to 7K Dexter E-Z Lube and etrailer Easy Grease axles with #42 spindles.
The assembly is made of iron. The drum has zinc-enriched paint for added durability, and the bolts have a zinc finish to resist corrosion. It comes pre-greased with a lithium complex, multipurpose grease, so the bearings do not need to be packed before installation.
The grease cap works with E-Z Lube and Easy Grease axles. To lubricate the bearings, remove the plug, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It flows to both the inner and outer bearings, so the hub does not need to be taken apart. The assembly meets the requirements for CSA certification and has been tested by QAI for braking performance.
