Lippert 6,000-lb Axle 12" Electric Brake Hub Lippert 2024013262 -- 12" Complete Brake Hub Kit with Installed Bearings

A ready-to-mount wheel-end solution for 6,000-lb trailer axles. Bearings are pre-greased and pressed in from the factory, so you install the hub and get back on the road -- no press, no bearing setup, no measuring end-play at the workbench.

Drop-In Hub Replacement for 6K Lippert and Compatible Axles

The Lippert 2024013262 (also cataloged as K-122463) is a complete brake hub assembly built for 6,000-lb rated trailer axles using a 6 on 5.5-inch bolt circle and 1/2-inch wheel studs. Everything you need for one hub position is in the box -- hub shell, pre-installed and pre-greased inner and outer bearings, grease seal, bearing races, dust cap, and 1/2-inch wheel studs already pressed in. This is not a bearing-only kit; it is a fully assembled hub ready for the spindle.

Designed for 12-inch electric drum brake applications, this hub mates with standard 12 x 2-inch trailer brake assemblies common on RV and cargo trailers rated at 6,000 lb per axle. The 6 on 5.5-inch bolt pattern (6 lug holes on a 5.5-inch diameter bolt circle) is one of the most common patterns on heavy single-axle and tandem RV trailers, travel trailers, and fifth wheels.

Pre-Installed Bearings

Inner and outer bearings pressed and pre-greased at the factory. No bearing setup or end-play adjustment needed at install.

Complete Wheel-End Kit

Hub shell, bearings, races, grease seal, dust cap, and 1/2-inch studs all included. One kit replaces one full hub assembly.

12" Brake Drum

Sized for 12 x 2-inch electric brake shoes. Matches standard 6,000-lb axle brake hardware from Lippert, Dexter, and others.

6 on 5.5" Bolt Pattern

Matches the most common 6-lug wheel pattern on heavy-duty single and tandem RV, cargo, and utility trailers rated at 6,000 lb per axle.

What Is Included (One Hub Position)

  • 12-inch brake hub shell with integrated drum surface
  • Inner bearing -- pre-greased and installed (typically L68149 or equivalent)
  • Outer bearing -- pre-greased and installed (typically L44649 or equivalent)
  • Inner and outer bearing cups (races) pressed into hub
  • Grease seal installed on inner bore
  • Dust cap / grease cap
  • Six 1/2-inch wheel studs pressed into hub flange

Fitment Notes -- Read Before Ordering

This hub is designed for axles rated at 6,000 lb. It is NOT interchangeable with 3,500-lb or 7,000-lb axle hubs, which use different spindle diameters and bearing sizes. Confirm your axle capacity from the axle tag or frame stamp before ordering.

The 6 on 5.5-inch bolt pattern uses six lug holes on a 5.500-inch diameter bolt circle. Measure your existing hub or wheel before ordering if you are unsure -- a 6 on 5.5" hub will not seat a 6 on 5.0" or 8-lug wheel correctly.

Stud size is 1/2-inch (1/2-20 UNF thread). Confirm your lug nuts match before installation.

Compatible Brake Drum Size

This hub uses a 12 x 2-inch brake drum profile, which is the standard for electric brake assemblies on 6,000-lb axles. It is compatible with Lippert, Dexter, and equivalent 12-inch brake shoe sets. The brake magnet and shoes are NOT included in this kit -- this is the hub/drum assembly only.

Common Applications

  • Lippert-axle travel trailers and fifth wheels with 6,000-lb axle ratings
  • Dexter and equivalent 6,000-lb axles using 6 on 5.5" wheel bolt pattern
  • Cargo, equipment, and utility trailers with matching axle/wheel specs
  • Tandem-axle rigs where one hub has failed or developed excessive runout
  • Preventive replacement during bearing repack intervals on high-mileage rigs

Maintenance Tips

  • Even with pre-greased bearings, inspect the grease condition at every brake service interval -- typically every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first.
  • Torque lug nuts to the wheel manufacturer's specification (typically 90-110 ft-lb for 1/2-inch studs on trailer wheels). Recheck after the first 50 miles.
  • Inspect the grease seal for leaks at every tire rotation. A leaking seal contaminates brake shoes and bearings quickly.
  • Replace brake shoes if the drum surface shows scoring or the lining is at or below minimum thickness.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing

  • One hub per kit. For a complete axle replacement, order two kits (one per wheel end).
  • Verify axle capacity. This hub is rated for 6,000-lb axles only. Do not install on 3,500-lb or 7,000-lb axles -- spindle diameters and bearing fits differ.
  • Verify bolt pattern. The 6 on 5.5" pattern has a 5.500-inch bolt circle. It will not correctly fit a 6 on 5.0" or other 6-lug pattern wheel.
  • Spindle nut not included. Inspect the existing castle nut and cotter pin; replace if worn or corroded. A loose or missing spindle nut will destroy the new bearings quickly.
  • Brake hardware not included. Inspect brake shoes, magnets, and backing plate hardware before reinstalling the drum. Replace worn shoes before the hub goes back on.
  • Torque specifications matter. Torque wheel lug nuts to spec (typically 90-110 ft-lb for 1/2-20 studs on trailer applications). Recheck after 50 miles of towing.
  • Not for hydraulic disc brake axles. This is a drum brake hub. Confirm your brake style before ordering.
