8 on 6.5 in Bolt Circle Hub Drum Kits w 12 in x 2 in Electric Brake

In this review the kit is evaluated as a targeted replacement solution for owners of 7,000 lb trailer axles who need a complete hub and electric brake assembly. The bottom line: this kit is best for trailers that use 25580 inner cone and 14125A outer cone bearings and standard lube axles, because it bundles two 8 on 6.5 in brake drums with matched 12 in x 2 in left and right electric brakes so installation is straightforward when the fitment matches. The reviewer found the cast iron drums and rust resistant coating to be durable and the included hardware comprehensive enough to avoid hunting for parts during a brake rebuild.

Key Features

• Direct fit bearings: Includes for 25580 inner cone and for 14125A outer cone bearings so you get the correct bearing pair for compatible 7k axles without guesswork.
• Complete kit: Comes with two 8 on 6.5 in brake drums, left and right 12 in x 2 in electric brakes, seals, dust covers and mounting hardware to simplify a one-stop replacement.
• Wide brand compatibility: Designed to work with Dexter, Al-Ko, Lippert, Quality and other common 7,000 lb axles when they use the specified bearings and standard lube setup.
• Corrosion resistance: Brake drums are gray cast iron with a rust resistant coating to extend service life in road conditions where corrosion is a concern.
• Hardware included: The kit supplies wheel hub nuts, bolts, spring pads, slotted nuts, washers and split pins so you do not need to source small parts separately.

Who It's For

This product suits trailer owners, repair shops and DIY mechanics who have 7,000 lb trailer axles that accept 25580 and 14125A bearings and use standard lube hubs. It is particularly useful when both hubs and electric brakes need replacement at once, saving time on parts procurement.

It is not for trailers with Nev-R-Lube hubs, nor for Airstream Classic trailers built after 7/2005, and buyers with different bearing sizes or brake flange PCDs should look for a kit that matches their axle specification.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comes as a full kit with drums, left and right 12 in x 2 in electric brakes and comprehensive hardware for faster installation.
• Cast iron drums with a rust resistant coating offer solid durability for road use.
• Explicit fit for common 7k axle bearings reduces the risk of buying incorrect parts.

Cons

• Compatibility is narrow: only fits standard lube axles and specific 25580/14125A bearing models, so many users must verify fit before purchase.

Specifications

Our Verdict
