JDMSPEED 12" x 2" Trailer Brake Drum Kit 6 on 5.5" Hub — 5200–6000 lb Axle, EZ Lube Cap

JDMSPEED 12" x 2" trailer brake drum kit is a complete 6-on-5.5" hub-and-drum assembly designed to replace worn drums on 5200–6000 lb axles and fit common 6-bolt, 1/2"-20 stud configurations.

This kit combines a 12" diameter x 2" face brake drum with preinstalled bearing races, seals, and hardware so you can swap a worn or damaged drum with minimal fuss. It fits 6 on 5.5" bolt pattern hubs and replaces several OEM numbers including 008-201-09 and 42656-22003K, providing a ready-to-install hub solution for trailers that use 12" electric or hydraulic drum brakes (brake assemblies not included). Built for medium-duty trailers rated around 5200 to 6000 pounds per axle, the assembly arrives with studs, nuts, bearings, races, seals, and an EZ lube grease cap for straightforward maintenance.

What components are included and why do they matter?

The kit is curated so you don’t have to hunt for matching bearings, races, or seals. Important wear parts are included and some elements come preinstalled to reduce assembly time and ensure correct fitment.

• 1 x 12" x 2" brake drum with 6 on 5.5" bolt pattern
• 6 x 1/2"-20 threaded studs with nuts preinstalled
• Outer cone bearings (15123 / 15245) and inner cone bearings (25580 / 25520)
• Bearing races installed, 2.25" x 3.371" grease seal, and EZ lube grease cap

How does this drum kit fit my trailer axle and braking system?

This drum is engineered for axles rated roughly 5200–6000 lbs and uses the common 6 on 5.5" bolt pattern, so it matches many Dexter-style and compatible hubs. It accepts standard 12" x 2" electric or hydraulic brake assemblies, making it a direct replacement in most cases.

• Bolt pattern: 6 on 5.5" to match many 6-bolt trailers
• Studs: 6 x 1/2"-20 thread nuts included for immediate installation
• Brake face: 12" diameter x 2" width fits typical 12" brake shoes
• Compatibility: replaces part numbers like 008-201-09 and 42656 series

What installation or maintenance steps should I expect?

Installation is similar to other hub/drum swaps: remove the wheel and old hub, press out old races if necessary, slide on the replacement drum assembly, and torque the studs and bearings per your axle specification. Because races and some hardware are preinstalled, the kit removes uncertainty from bearing selection and speeds the job.

• Remove wheel and existing hub/drum assembly
• Confirm bearing preload and torque per axle manufacturer specs
• Fill EZ lube cap cavity with appropriate wheel bearing grease
• Inspect brakes and replace shoes or hardware as needed (brakes not included)

Will these drums handle heavy-duty hauling and long trips?

Designed for medium-heavy trailer axles rated around 5200–6000 lbs, the drum and hub components are built to withstand routine towing and loading when installed and maintained correctly. Proper bearing adjustment, periodic lubrication, and brake maintenance are essential to long service life.

• Rated for trailers using 5200–6000 lb axles when matched correctly
• Preinstalled races and sealed bearings reduce initial wear risk
• EZ lube cap makes routine grease servicing faster and cleaner
• Compatible with common brake assemblies—inspect shoes and hardware before long hauls

It’s ideal when you want a complete hub assembly that includes bearings, races, seals, studs, nuts, and an EZ lube cap—reducing parts compatibility guesswork and downtime for trailers used for towing, hauling, or light commercial work.
