Youxmoto 8 on 6.5 Trailer Drum Kit 12 x 2 in - Direct Fit Brake

Our review of the Youxmoto 8 on 6.5 Trailer Drum Kit finds it best suited for owners of 7,000 lb standard lube trailer axles who need a direct replacement electric brake assembly. The kit's single biggest selling point is that it pairs a precision-machined 8-stud, 6.5 in bolt circle brake drum with a 12 in x 2 in electromagnetic brake, providing a straightforward swap for compatible Dexter and similar axles. Installation is relatively simple for anyone familiar with trailer hubs, and the kit includes nearly all hardware needed for a complete axle-end rebuild.

Key Features

• Direct fit design: The 8-stud, 6.5 in bolt circle matches common 7,000 lb trailer axles for a clean replacement with minimal modification.
• Complete brake assembly: Includes 12 in x 2 in electromagnetic brakes for both sides so the trailer returns to electric braking without sourcing extra parts.
• Comprehensive hardware bundle: Bearings, oil seals, dust covers, nuts, bolts and washers are provided to perform a full hub and brake rebuild in one service visit.
• Durability focus: Steel lip grease seals and high-hardness nuts made to quality standards help maintain braking performance under heavy load.
• Electric actuation: Electromagnetic brakes are easier to install than hydraulic units and integrate with typical trailer brake controllers for consistent stopping.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for trailer owners running a standard lube 7,000 lb axle with an 8 on 6.5 in bolt pattern who want a direct replacement for worn or damaged drums and electric brakes. It fits Dexter-style setups and other common axle brands that use the same bolt circle and bearing sizes.

Owners of Nev-R-Lube axles or newer Airstream Classic trailers built after July 2005 should look elsewhere, because the kit is not compatible with those sealed-lube assemblies. Also check your axle type and bearing dimensions before ordering to ensure a proper match.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete kit reduces the need to source separate bearings and seals, saving time during installation.
• Electromagnetic brakes provide reliable, electric actuation and are straightforward to wire into a trailer brake controller.
• Precision fit for 8 on 6.5 in bolt circle axles restores proper braking geometry for 7,000 lb trailers.
• Manufactured to quality standards with steel lip seals and hardened nuts for heavy-duty use.

Cons

• Some customers report missing hardware on arrival, so verify contents immediately and be prepared to source any small fasteners if necessary.
• Not compatible with Nev-R-Lube or certain Airstream sealed axles, limiting fitment to standard lube systems.
