Product Description
The Dexter USA 10" Hub Drum (P/N 426250) is a genuine Dexter hub drum manufactured in the USA, designed for 3,500 lb (approximately 1,588kg) trailer axles fitted with 10" × 2¼" electric or hydraulic drum brakes and the popular Ford 5 × 114.3mm wheel pattern.
Unlike a standard hub drum, this Dexter assembly is supplied pre-studded and pre-cupped, with the wheel studs and bearing cups already installed. This saves installation time, eliminates the need to press in bearing cups and wheel studs, and ensures genuine Dexter fit and accuracy.
The hub drum is machined to suit the genuine Dexter bearing combination using L68149 inner bearings with L68111 cups and L44649 outer bearings with L44610 cups.
Please note: Bearings, grease seal, grease cap, wheel nuts and installation hardware are sold separately.
