What are the Correct Bearings and Races for Dexter 8-201 Electric Drum Brakes?

Question:

I am needing the wheel bearings for Dexter 8-201, 5 on 4-1/2 electric drum brakes. Do you have the correct numbers for the bearings and races? Thank you

The Dexter hub you referenced, 8-201, is a 5,200 lb hub, though a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern does not come on 5,200 lb hubs. The correct bearings for the 5,200 lb hub are # 25580 and # LM67048, while the proper races are # 25520 and # LM67010. I have attached a link to a help article on wheel bearings that you may find useful.

If you can provide the diameter of the brake assemblies and/or the axle capacity, I would be happy to make a specific recommendation for you.

@RussH Hey Russ, I was able to find a couple of Dexter hubs matching the 08-201 part number; the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which you can use the bearing kit # BK3-110, and # 8-201-5UC3 which you can use the bearings # 25580 & # LM67048 & the races # 25520 and # LM67010. The last thing you're looking for is the castle nut, which you can use the Trailer Spindle Nut 1" # 165686. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!
