Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Bought these to replace #5200lb house trailer hubs for a utility trailer. Great fit! Fast shipping.
by: Brian09/08/2023
Excellent product. Have used them on 3 trailers. Every time I buy a used trailer, I completely rebuild the hubs, bearings and brakes.
I don’t trust other people to keep boat axels, up to my standards. We travel long distances with our boat trailers.
Never had a failure.
Thank You etrailer!

I bought these hubs to replace the 30+ year old originals on the 6000 lb axle under my late fathers homemade 4x8 trailer. The original hubs couldn't have modern wheels mounted to them so doing this allowed me to mount modern 225/15r75 tires and wheels as well as have a spare. Install was quick and easy, the fit of every part was perfect. Service from etrailer was excellent, couldn't have been better.

Excellent experience all the way around! Fast shipping. Simple installation. Great instructions and videos. Reasonable prices. The best part though is the customer service. I ended up speaking to William B a couple times and he guided me thought ordering exactly the right thing. He had me confirm various measurements on my trailer to ensure I had the correct parts. Actually he helped me discover that the parts I was removing were incorrect so if we had of replaced like for like I would have had problems. Getting this right up front made the installation and final quality what it should be. Thank you eTrailer and thank you William!

I searched for what seemed like forever to find a fix for my mobile home trailer axles. I bought a homemade trailer and was needing new tires, they were and odd size 14.5... and I needed new bearings too. The axles were 5200 lb axles. The wheels had a very bad wobble and I felt like I was going to spend a lot money to make a temporary fix. There was so much conflicting information on these axles and compatibility of replacement parts. I bought these hubs and hoped for the best. They fit perfectly! I'm very pleased. I ordered them last night and they arrived this afternoon! Overnight shipping?! Also the costumer service was amazing!! I asked so many questions and felt like i was talking to a friend i've known my whole life.

Items came quickly once in stock. I asked for them separately but would have lost the free shipping...good looking out! Went from old Christmas tree farm trailer to camp hauler. The updated hubs and rims were the last piece. Great customer service!

Received 2 dexter hubs and replaced my mobile home hubs with them in about an hour I used Toyota rims from a 1999 trunda fits great did use longer nuts becouse the rims had counter sunk holes
by: Phil C07/29/2016
Following a minor shipping hiccup, James at etrailer.com responded quickly and professionally to get my new hubs to me in a timely manner. Things may not always go as planned with shipments, but I know I can count on the crew at etrailer to make it right.
Thanks James and George!!

Excellent technical support. Excellent order support - emailed and suggested an alternative when a part was not in stock. FAST delivery.
I had never used etrailer before but was VERY impressed and highly recommend! 5 stars all the way!!!

Perfect to replace the Mobile hubs on my 40 yr. old homemade trailer and put on 15" trailer wheels and tires. I will send pictures when finished. Thanks etrailer.com

Everything worked perfectly. I wanted a conversion kit like this for over 20 years. Glad I found etrailer.com. Thanks
by: Tim11/16/2016
This seems to be a good quality hub. I haven't gotten the opportunity to install as circumstances have conspired against me so far but I'm sure it will work perfectly.
The real bright spot is that there was a minor problem with my order and Rebecca and George were very quick to respond. They got everything fixed with absolutely no hassle! The level of customer service has proven to me that the staff at etrailer.com are willing to do everything possible to find the right solution for the customer. I will definitely be shopping with etrailer.com again!!

These idler hubs are great! Very happy with them. I have used the trailer several times and there haven’t been any issues. Finally no more squeaking and squealing from bad bearings and hubs.
by: John 04/17/2023
A great fit, and easy install. Got me out of a tight bind. We can get back on the road tomorrow. eTrailer always comes through for me.

Best thing I've ne for the trailer
by: Dave T.11/19/2016
I have a utility trailer that I have had for over 25 years. It had a mobile home axle on it with Dayton style hubs and 14.5. inch rims and tires. I wanted to change over to a more traditional hubs and wheels. The help from Sam G was great. I gave him the part number of outside and inside bearings and he found me the hub that fit my spindle. The delivery was fast. One of the bearings came bent but replacement was not an issue. The description of the hub only showed it was for 16" rims but Sam found a 15" rim that worked. - Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Black Pictures sent to Sam in email.

I bought these hub assemblies to replace the ones that came with the boat trailer. Since they were installed I live 50 miles south of Chicago. The trailer has been to Okeechobee Fl. 2 times, also Chetek Wisconsin 3 times. When traveling ,every time I stop for eats or fuel I feel the hubs. The hubs are always just a few degrees above ambient.
PS I also installed S.S. bearing buddy's, from E Trailer.

Have not installed items at this time, but service has been GREAT so far. Waiting for a few more parts.

Product looks good, and well made.
Trying to convert a trailer house axle however didn't fit my application. Knew I would need to make bearing sleeves but when arrived I found my spindle wasn't long enough. So had to order spindles to match.
Also was planning on using rims off a 2006 chevy Silverado however they won't work because of the center hole needs to be larger. Older Chevy rims made for 4WD should work. Center hole should be around 4-4.5".
For future reference, measure length of your spindles as well as bearing and seal diameters.
A mention of spindle length needed as well as the center diameter of the hub would be a good things to add to description.
Great people to work with. Very friendly and knowledgeable. In shipping a bearing and cap was destroyed. They took care of it right away. No pictures, no explanation needed.

Fit perfectly on my trailer house axles. My buddy and I swapped them out with ease. I already recommended the same type to two other friends with the same type of axles. David S. & Mark S. I'm ordering wheels and tires next. Thanks for offering a superior product.
by: David F10/08/2016
I have home built trailer with a mobile home axle on it. Getting tires for was getting harder to find and they were unable to balance them. I got replacement hubs, bearings, wheels and tire from etrailer. They arrived in 3 days. An hour after they arrived I had them instaled. The seals didn't match but the old seals were in good shape so I used them. The dust covers did not fit so I used the old ones there. I think it is just very hard to get everything to match up on those axles. I am very happy with the results.
Rose at etrailer was very helpful on my initial call too.
I have since placed another order for hubs, wheels and tires for an other trailer I am repairing.
Thank you Rose for your help.

This is a on going project on a utility trailer that I have had for over 25 years that has a mobile home axle on it changing over to a more traditional hub and wheel, the help that I got from etrailers was great, delivery was fast and the product was out standing. Thank you for everything and pictures will follow this spring as the trailer get built.:)

- Can The Inner Bearing L68149 Be Used In Place Of The 25580 In The 8-213-5UC1 HubHey Doug, the # 8-213-5UC1 hub that you mentioned uses only the # 25580 inner and # LM67048 outer bearings. The # 25580 bearing has a 1.75" ID and roughly 3-1/4" OD. The # L68149 bearing has a 1.378" ID and roughly 2-3/8" OD. So, there is no way the # L68149 could be used in the place of the # 25580 bearing. Mobile home axles usually use some oddball bearing sizes and they really are not designed to be re-used. It will likely prove very difficult to find compatible parts, so we would...
view full answer... - Using 6000 lb Hubs on 7000 lb AxleAs long as bearings on the hub you choose are compatible with the existing spindle on your axle, you can indeed change to hubs that have the desired wheel bolt pattern. The first step would be to confirm the dimensions of your spindles using an accurate measuring device like a digital caliper. Using a ruler would not provide a measurement that is precise enough. I have provided a diagram that will will show you where to take the measurements. The # 8-213-5UC1 hub would be compatible with...

- Compatible Spindles for Dexter Hub 8-213For a Dexter 8-213 hub like # 8-213-5UC1 you can use Redline spindle # TRU57FRor for an EZ-Lube kit like # 8-213-5UC1-EZ you can use spindle # TRU37FR. Both spindles work with bearings 25580 and LM67048.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs With Bearing Numbers 25580 and LM67048The bearing LM67028 is likely # LM67048, which has an inner diameter of 1.250", though you'll want to measure using a digital caliper to make sure they are the same. We do have idler hubs that use # LM67048 as the outer bearing and # 25580 as the inner bearing. Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1 uses those bearings along with grease seal # GS-2125DL which has a 2.125" inner diameter. This assembly has a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and is for 5,200 lb to 6,000 lb axles. The other...
view full answer... - Trailer Hub Assembly that Uses 25580 Inner and LM67048 Outer BearingsThe only trailer hub assemblies we have that uses an 25580 inner bearing and an LM67048 outer bearing are one's rated for 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb axles which have a 6 on 5-1/2" lug pattern (part # 8-213-5UC1). None of our trailer hubs with a 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern are compatible with 25580 and LM67048 bearings. We do not carry a 14-1/2" diameter wheel that will work with your 14-1/2" diameter x 8" wide tires and 6 on 5-1/2" lug pattern. I have attached a review video of the hub for you.
view full answer... - Capacity of Axle Using Outer Bearing LM67048 and Inner Bearing 25580For an axle using outer bearing # LM67048 and inner bearing # 25580 I can narrow it down to having a capacity of 5,200 or 6,000 lbs. In the case of replacement hubs for the axle, the hub assemblies for either will work for you. I have included a link to these for you. You'll need your wheel bolt pattern in order to narrow the results. The most common is going to be the 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. For this you could use # 8-213-5UC1 for a wheel hub assembly and # 8-201-5UC3 for a hub and drum...
view full answer... - Which Size of Bearing Buddy Will Fit the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1The grease cap included in this hub kit # 8-213-5UC1 has an outer diameter of 2.44-inches. So the correct Bearing Buddy would be part # BB2441 or if you want the stainless steel version that will resist corrosion much better you would want the # BB2441SS instead.
view full answer... - Determining Which Bearing Buddy Fits Hub With 2-5/8" Diameter Hub BoreWe may have an option that will work for you, but we do not have a Bearing Buddy that fits a 2.625" hub bore. The closest options are the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2562 which fit a 2.562" hub bore or the # BB2717SS which fit a 2.717" hub bore. I recommend double checking the measurement of your hub bore using digital calipers like # PTW80157. I included videos for both of the Bearing Buddies mentioned for you to take a look at.

- Availability of 16 Wheel to Fit 5.2K Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly with 6 on 5-1/2 PatternYes, we have a variety of wheels and tire/wheel combos for 16" wheels that are compatible with the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern of the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1. For a combination tire mounted on the wheel you could go with The Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w 16" White Spoke Wheel # AM32764. . The white spoke wheel is a little plain but it is pretty common for trailers. If you'd like something else then I have attached a link with our selection that you can filter through.
view full answer... - Replacement Axle Recommendation for a Mobile Home TrailerWe carry 5 lug bolt pattern hubs, but none that would fit the same spindle as the part # 8-213-5UC1 that you referenced. Since you said it's for a mobile home axle I can tell you right now we don't have anything that would fit. Mobile home stuff uses non-standard parts that are nearly impossible to find parts for. Your best option would be to replace with new axles and hubs. I attached a link to a page that has all of the axles we offer. You may be able to find one that would work, but...
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Drum To Replace A Lippert 122093From what I could find out, the Lippert 122093 will use the # 25580 inner bearing and the # LM67048 outer bearing. This means that the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-5UC3-EZ will be a perfect fit. This will use the same bearings and has a 12" inner diameter. It also includes the grease seal, cap, and lug nuts, so it is a full replacement.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs for a 2003 Venture Boat Trailer Model 2250 with 6-Lug HubsI did a little research and found that your 2003 Venture Boat trailer model 2250 has a capacity of 2,250 pounds but the 6-lug hubs and bearing information I found indicate that it uses hubs normally seen on 5,200 pound axles. Since you have a boat trailer you might be interested in Kodiak hub # KH42655S which is stainless steel so it won't corrode. It uses inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 15123. Another option is hub # 8-213-5UC1 which uses the same inner bearing but a different...
view full answer... - Is the Distance Between Bearings In a Hub an Important Measurement When Finding a Replacement HubFirst, thanks for the kind words. We work hard to provide the best online experience in the industry. If the axle you have is a MOBILE home axle and not a motor home axle, then you will have to replace the axle. Mobile home axles are designed for one time use only and should not be reused. As a result of this one time use, there are very few replacement parts available. Now if it is an axle from a motor home then it is most likely a trailer axle and you will not need to replace it. If...
view full answer... - How To Determine Which Replacement Hubs and Bearings Fit Old Horse Trailer with Unknown AxleI'd be happy to walk you through how to determine which replacement hub and bearings will fit your old horse trailer, but those numbers are not cross referencing to anything. What you'll need to do is remove one of the hubs and measure the three points of the spindle shown below with digital calipers like # PTW80157. Once you have these measurements let me know and I'd be happy to check what options we have.

- Parts for Lugged Hubs on a Mobile Home Axle with 15123 inner and 25880 Outer BearingsIt sounds like you have a spindle that uses the Inner Trailer Hub Bearing, item # 25580, that has a 1.750 inch inner diameter. The outer # 15123 bearing has a 1.250 inch inner diameter. I would check the seal surface on the spindle to be sure that it matches the # RG06-070 seal inner diameter of 2.250 inches. Many times mobile home axles use non- standard parts so careful measurement of all of the parts is required. If all of these dimensions match, then you will need to determine whether...

You can visit the product page of the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS01 by clicking on the part number in this question. This Timbren Axle-Less Suspension is the Heavy-Duty version which means even though it has a 3500lb rating, it is made out of thicker metal than the standard version and uses 5200-7000lb hubs instead of 3500lb hubs.

We do offer idler hubs compatible with a 25580 inner/LM67048 outer bearing which have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If you have EZ lube spindles, use # 8-213-5UC1-EZ or # 8-213-5UC1 for standard spindles. Both idler hubs assemblies include the inner and outer bearings and races, the 10-10 grease seal which has a 2.125 ID and 3.376 inch OD, the grease caps and lug nuts.

These accept either 6-on-5-1/2 idler hub # 8-213-5UC1-EZ or hub/drum assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ if your trailer will have brakes. Please note that these systems may require reinforcement of the trailer frame. These hubs' bolt pattern is slightly different than your Ford F-150's 6-bolt hubs. The two are not interchangeable and odds are that your wheels would not fit, or at...
view full answer... - What Offset Does the Lionshead Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - 6 on 5-1/2 HaveThe Lionshead Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # LHHA312 has a 0 offset which is the case for any of our wheels that don't have an offset listed. 0 offset is most common for trailers. It will work with any hub that has a 6 on 5-1/2" pattern like the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-213-5UC1.
view full answer... - Repair Sleeve for 6K Trailer SpindleWe don't offer a replacement sleeve, nor would I recommend using one, as a significant portion of the trailer weight bill be sitting on that bearing surface which isn't the case for the area of the spindle where the grease seal rides which isn't weight bearing. This leaves you a couple of options. You could replace the axle as you mentioned. Depending on your hub face to hub face and the distance apart that the spring seats sit, we might have an off-the-shelf replacement axle that would...

- Availability Of 5 On 5-1/2 Hubs For A 5.2K Or 6K AxleA #84 spindle is the standard 3,500 lb axle spindle. It uses an inner bearing L68149 (1.378" inner diameter), and an outer bearing L44649 (1.063" inner diameter). These days this is basically universal for 3,500 lb axles. What you have with your 25580 outer and LM67048 Inner bearings is either a 5,200 lb or 6,000 lb axle. The 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and the 3" round tube also indicate a 5.2K or 6K axle. With your axle and bearing combination, there are not any hubs with a 5 on 5-1/2"...

Grease SealIt sounds like you have two 5200 or 6000 lb capacity axles with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. If this is the case, we have some hubs that will work for you. If you have EZ lube spindles, you would need the # 8-213-5UC1-EZ idler hub, and the # 8-201-5UC3-EZ hub/ drum. If you have standard spindles, you would need the # 8-213-5UC1 idler hub, and the # 8-201-5UC3 hub/ drum. The hubs include bearings, races, a grease seal and dust cap but the included grease seal will have the wrong inside...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub with Bearings LM67048 25580 and 2-1/4 inch Grease SealActually we have a fit as a replacement for the hub you have based on the bearing and seal dimension you listed. It looks like you have a number 42 spindle which is very common. For a hub without a drum the part # 8-213-5UC1 would fit but you would need to swap out the seal with the part # GS-2250DL.

But there's a great chance you have a 6 lug Dexter hub like the part # 8-213-5UC1 which uses the replacement studs part # 7-122. This is a 1/2 inch diameter stud that measures 2 inches in length. For a 1/2 inch stainless steel acorn lug nut we have the part # KALN1375S which would work well.
