A direct-replacement brake hub built for 3,500 lb trailer axles. Arrives pre-assembled with bearing cones, seals, and grease already packed -- drop it on the spindle and get back on the road faster.
The Lippert 2024013264 is a purpose-built replacement hub for electric drum brake axles rated at 3,500 lbs. The solid iron casting is matched to a 10" brake drum diameter and arrives fully prepped -- bearings pressed and greased, seal installed -- so installation is straightforward even in the driveway or at a campsite.
This hub is designed for the 5 on 4.5" bolt circle (also written as 5x4.5" or 5x114.3 mm), one of the most common patterns on single-axle and tandem-axle travel trailers, fifth wheels, and utility trailers in the 3,500 lb range. It accepts 1/2" wheel studs and is compatible with 13" through 15" wheels, covering the standard tire sizes found on most light RV trailers.
Durable cast iron hub body stands up to the heat cycles and load demands of repeated trailer braking.
Bearing cones, cup races, grease seal, and packed grease are all included and installed at the factory -- no bench work required.
Matches the most common wheel bolt circle on 3,500 lb trailer axles, including Lippert, Dexter, and AL-KO units.
Compatible with the full range of standard trailer wheel diameters used on light single-axle and tandem-axle RV trailers.
This hub is a direct replacement for Lippert-branded axle assemblies with a 3,500 lb rating and 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. It is also cross-compatible with similarly spec'd Dexter and AL-KO axles using the same bolt circle, spindle diameter, and bearing set. Confirm your existing hub's drum diameter (10") and bolt pattern before ordering.
Plan a hub replacement if you notice any of the following: excessive heat after a short tow, rumbling or growling from the wheel end, lateral wheel wobble, grease leaking past the seal onto the drum face, or a seized bearing. Worn hubs transfer stress to the spindle and axle tube, so early replacement prevents more expensive axle damage.
