E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-Compatible Assembly for Simple Lubrication

The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube or etrailer Easy Grease axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.


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.


Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Side

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"

Quick two day delivery! Good quality part (made in China) and an easy, cost effective way to replace damaged or worn out bearings and races. Just add grease and press in the seal! Just completed a 500+ mile trip with trailer and street bike in tow and had no issues.

Good service, good product, good price. Satisfied.



by:

Super service and quick delivery.



by:

They fit great



by:

Exactly as pictured. I can't comment on fitment as I did not buy it to use at this time but rather as a spare to have with me on a long trip. I opened it and checked everything and it appears well made. The only reason for four stars and not five is the bearings are not pre-loaded with grease but rather shipped dry. This is not a big deal as I always have the grease gun with me but I would have preferred them to have had grease in them and sealed for rust protection but I'll just grease them and put them in a zip lock bag, I''ll also put a little grease inside the Hub for rust protection.

They are kind of like a spare tire, you dont use it or need it until you do. Mine is packed and sealed up ready for the roadside fix I hope never comes.

Great on shipping, I have yet to install product, thank you

  • Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System Compatible with Jeep for Matching Trailer
    For the Timbren Axle-Less kit compatible with the bolt pattern of 5 on 5 like a Jeep, you would need the 2,200 lb capacity # ASR1THDS03. The spindles on the Timbren system are a little larger than their thru-axle counterparts, so the 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S06 will only fit larger hubs that won't have the bolt pattern you seek. Using # ASR1THDS03, you can then use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 5 # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K or the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly...

  • Replacement Trailer Hubs with Bearings L68149 and L44649 that is Pre-Greased

    The Timbren Axle-Less systems are definitely the way to go and are right where my mind went when I was reading your question. For your application you'll need a system rated for 3,500 lbs. If you need something with a higher weight rating let me know.

  • Availability of Non-Cambered Short 3500 lb Replacement Axle
    The axles we carry are cambered or arched so that when the trailer is under load, the tire treads make full contact with the road surface. If they were not cambered, once the trailer was under load, the wheels would have a slight negative camber which would cause excessive wear on the inside of the treads. The axles you see on our website are the most common sizes, for what you're looking for, you'll need to order a custom built axle direct from Dexter. You'd need to see your local trailer...

    The hub you ordered is the part # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K which fits a 3,500 lb axle. So for a similar length axle that fits the hub you ordered you'd need the part # T3584F-EZ-8974 instead. Dimensionally the axles are the same so if the # 8327820 was correct size so would the # T3584F-EZ-8974.

    I do have an option for you but we do not have a standard straight axle in the 59-1/2" spring center and 73-1/2" hub face measurements that you provided. Instead, I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR3500S05 with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K.

    I may have a solution for you to replace the bearings, but I'm not aware of a hub that uses these particular bearings and also has a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Typically this bearing combination is found on smaller agricultural hubs. Assuming your hubs are otherwise still in good working order you could simply swap in new bearings, races and grease seals.
