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"

In building two tear drop trailers (see attached picture) and do to a miss measurement I ended up with two axles without hubs. (another story!) So I decided to order hub and start making a utility trailer. I enjoy etrailer's website. It is very helpful in selecting the right trailer parts. Delivery was good but the packaging was poor. The bearing, seal, lug nuts and cap are all in one bag taped to the heavy hub. One of the seal were bent but the rubber part looked OK, so I straighten it the best I could and install it anyway. I did not want to go through the hassle of returning it for a new one.
by: Scott P09/28/2016
I noticed both my hubs had cracks and someone before me did too, see photo w/ yellow mark at crack, I almost ordered just the bearing kit. The hubs arrived together and all the parts where heavily taped to hub securing them well so no damage occurred. Madison at eTrailer.com was a great help in finding the right parts I needed. Installation was easy as the races were already mounted in the hub. The price was affordable and when i mounted the hub/tire i almost thought i heard the boat trailer sigh with relief.
by: Brad05/09/2016
There were no part numbers on my utility trailer's bearings and the part numbers on the hubs were not matching anything I could find online. I called eTrailer and spoke with Ashley. She did a great job at mapping over exactly what new part numbers I needed and had them shipped out; she was super helpful and patient. Everything fits and is working perfectly with my new ST175/80/D13 wheels and tires on my 5x8 2000 Eagle Utility Trailer. Prices are good and service was excellent. If eTrailer should improve on anything it should be the packaging. One of the new hub dust covers was bent/dented but still usable. Still worth a 5 star rating!

Ive been towing that little trailer around for over a year and the parts I ordered are holding up just perfect. Thanks again!
by: Paul G.06/01/2015
The products ordered were exactly what I needed. After having to replace bearings on the side of the road a few times over the years, I finally decided to buy a spare hub, which I feel will cut the roadside maintenance time dramatically, should I have a seal or bearing failure. (It happens.) The packaging could have been better. I also had 5 pairs of seals ordered with the hub, as the ones that came with it did not fit my axel. (Always read the notes on the products thoroughly. Glad I did.) One of the seals was damaged beyond use (crushed by the hub) during shippment. While the parts were packed with packing-paper, I'm not sure that would suffice with some of today's parcel carriers. You know, the ones that run up to your porch and throw the box as they turn to run back to their trucks. Anyway, completely happy with the ordering process, shipping time, delivery time, and most importantly, the email communication from E-Trailer. I've purchased from E-Trailer before and will definately be back for future needs.

Thankfully I havent had to use the hub yet. I bought it as a spare, as changing a hub instead of changing seals on the side of the road may be a lifesaver. Thanks for the email follow up. I will be back to shop. Oh, my neighbor just bought a boat and I gave him your website link, with a strong recommendation.

Great Customer Service. My project included up sizing my hubs and I needed information on compatibility which took them doing some homework which they did without complaint and got me dialled in to these new hubs.

The service that I received while ordering was fine. However, I had poor results as one of the hubs/tire flew off of the axle at 60mph on our first camping trip. Not sure if it was the part or installation error, but everyone was ok. After towing to dealer and repairs, they said the axle was fine, but both hubs/tires needed to be replaced. We have gone on a couple trips this summer, with no more difficulties. DIY is not always the best option. Safe travels everyone!
by: Amos07/18/2022
I rated this poorly because of etrailer's manipulation on shipping. I ordered online and paid extra to get product by Wednesday which was guaranteed for expedited shipping. These hubs were for our popup camper. We made weekend plans and then we found out that we wouldn't get the hubs till the following Monday. When I called customer service I was told that the online ordering shouldn't put the delivery days online because they are not guaranteed. The only help was sorry we will refund your money. I had to cancel weekend plans and have yet to install. So as I said earlier don't order if you need by a certain time and don't pay extra for guaranteed shipping on an earlier date.
by: Leadfinger08/29/2016
These hubs were a good replacement for my old tired boat trailer. Be sure to measure everything on your old hubs. This kit didn't have the right seal for my axle but with so many different sizes out there measure to be certain. I had some seals from a previous job sitting on the shelf so I just used those. The kit didn't have cotter pins so make sure you have them as well. Overall a good product.
by: Mike08/03/2015
I received this in a timely manner. The grease cap was damaged in shipping, but etrailer sent me a replacement without issue.
A smaller box would have prevented the hub assembly from rolling around. I appreciate the videos by etrailer explaining the two different sized hubs in this class. That helped me make sure I was ordering the correct part for my axle.
by: Steve M.03/16/2015
The shipping was fast! The hub package is nice but the paint job is not the best. The packing of the hub package could have been better, the bag that was taped to the hub pulled the paint. I stripped the paint and reapplied paint in short order! Wish the package that contained the bearings, nuts, grease cap and seal was better protected because both grease caps were damaged at the lip and unusable. This damage is not a concern for my project because I am using bearing buddies. I will be back because of the great service and good price! Thanks
by: Tom L07/24/2012
Price was reasonable and they fit and perform well. I used these to upgrade an oddball 5 on 4.25 bolt pattern 2000lb axle to the more common 5 on 4.5 pattern. The hubs essentially paid for themselves in the decreased cost of replacement tires and wheels (would have to have had tires mounted/balanced locally which greatly increased the price).
by: GearHead Engineering05/13/2013
Acceptable quality, fit my trailer just fine, easier than trying to get the original bearing races out of my old rusty hub. Comes with the bearings, seal, and lug nuts, but no cotter pin. Seems like that would be obvious and it could cause an unexpected trip to the hardware store if you don't have some available.
by: Justice03/02/2018
Put many miles on these at highway speeds hauling dirtbikes and quads. After one year no issues to report. Have not regreased yet so nothing to report on bearing condition but they are still tight, not getting hot, and spin with little resistance. Good buy.
by: Glen B.10/21/2014
Great product, great price. This is a duplicate of what was originally on my boat trailer. I check prices when I go to buy replacement parts, trying to replace with the same brand name as the original. Been burnt by too many aftermarket items that "almost work the same." Local retailers wanted $100 for this, not to mention the sales tax. Some online retailers wanted $82.00+ for this same product. Etrailer came through for me.
by: Jeremy03/14/2013
Hubs are in nice shape, I like the fact that they dont come greased as I would have no clue what grease was used in them. Please take note however if you are replacing marine hubs like I was that you will need to order two seperate double lip seals. I actually had to order a second time because I noticed that I couldnt hold any hub pressure on my ezlube hubs. Note that I knew from the get go that I needed different caps.
I would like to see this same hub offered in a marine package or a warning that this is only a single lip seal.
Its however not a deal breaker, I will order a third knowing what I know now to have a travel backup.
by: Caleb03/13/2013
Sent two different seals both of which were the wrong size. One of the seals was too dented to use even if it had been the correct size. One set of bearings was the wrong size. Packaging was very unprofessional with the bearings, seals, lug nuts, and dust caps taped to the hub with packaging tape. Package did arrive on time but could not be used. Customer service was good and we are awaiting a refund.
by: Kyle W. 07/23/2019
I've had no issues with the hub or bearings I installed on my trailer. *knocks on wood* Hope it continues that way for years to come...

Etrailer has the best customer service I’ve ever encountered.
Thanks to everyone.
by: Shad10/11/2016
I would give his item 5 stars, except I couldn't get the grease covers to fit the hubs. I had to use the old covers. Other than that, the kit was very easy to install and came with everything I needed except a Cotter pin, washer and nut. I used my old washer and nut and a new Cotter pin. Customer service was very helpful and the shipping was super quick!
by: Steven 03/31/2020
I can not say enough about the efficiency of this company. I have ordered two products ( trailer tires and idler hub for utility trailer) within one week.
Both times, I paid for 2-day delivery. On both occasions my orders were filled promptly and I received them as promised, two days.
Keep up the good work-I’ll always be your customer.

Very happy with the hub and bearings kit. E trailer got me the write parts despite me picking out the wrong bearings. Very accurate service

Everything worked out well except the wheel seals were to big for my axle otherwise I'm well satisfied and was shipped in a very timely

- Correct Hub Assembly for Dexter 8-258 Hub and 13-Inch WheelsWith axle 8-258, your bearings are either # L44643 or # L44649. # L44643 bearings have an inner diameter of 1 inch, while bearings # L44649 have an inner diameter of 1.063 inches. You can locate the bearing numbers on the bearings themselves, or you can measure the diameter using the image I've attached. We offer two hub assembly kits with # L44643 bearings. Item # 8-258BTUC1 is the standard hub assembly kit, which includes lug nuts, inner bearings and race, outer bearings and race, grease...

- Replacement Idler Hub for Continental Boat TrailerWhen I did a google search on the 125197250 number you provided, it keeps taking me to the L44649 bearing. is the surface of the spindle that the inner and outer bearing ride upon the same diameter? You could take a digital caliper like # PTW80157 on the spindle surface where the 125197250 bearing rides. If it's right around 1.06 inches, then it's a L44649 bearing. Different manufacturers can refer to the same bearings using different reference numbers. If the spindle doesn't have a taper...

This idler hub does use inner and outer # L44649 bearings as well. If the height matches up then the only other thing you need to check is that the inner diameter of your grease seal is 1.5" and you are good to go!

Here are the dimensions for each hub.

view full answer... - Can Bearings for # 8-258-5UC1 Hub Be Swapped with L44643 BearingsWe offer two different 5 lug 4-1/2 bolt circle idler hubs for 2000 lb axles, one that uses the L44649 bearing that has a 1.063 inside diameter and the other uses the L44643 bearing that has a 1 inch inside diameter. The # 8-258-5UC1 hub you are using has the L44649 bearings, which have a 1.063 inside diameter, you would need the # 8-258BTUC1 hub. Unfortunately, the bearings are NOT interchangeable between the two hubs and you will need to replace the hubs with the # 8-258BTUC1.

From some previous customers, we've determined that the UFP H-1062-3 axle has a spindle that has # L44649 inner and outer bearings, and a grease seal that has a 1.979" OD and a 1.372" ID, like part # BB60005. You will need to choose the hub based off those bearings and the bolt pattern of the hub for your wheels, but the most likely one for a boat trailer of any size is a 5 on...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Replacement Hubs for a Boat TrailerIn order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out. Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub...

- Bearing Numbers not ReadableFor your inner bearings and grease seals, if the reference number cannot be located, having an accurate measurement of both the inner and outer diameter of the bearing and seal will be very helpful in finding a replacement. A digital caliper is called for, as a ruler or tape measure will not give an accurate enough measurement. If you can reply with the measurements, I will find replacements for you.
view full answer... - 5 Lug Hub Replacement Recommendation for Dexter 4 Lug HubIf you have a Dexter 4 lug hub currently that would mean your trailer has a BTR sized spindle so to replace it with a 5 lug hub would require the part # 8-258-5UC1 and you'd be set. This will fit your spindle in place of the 4 lug hub you have now and will work great.

The wheel I recommend is the Americana solid center steel wheel # AM20202. It has a rim dimension of 13-inches x 4-1/2-inches wide. The bolt pattern is 4 on 4 inches and a load rating of 1,660 pounds at 65 psi. The pilot hole is 2.84 inches. Note that the only time the pilot hole matters is if the wheel attaches to the hub using wheel bolts and not lug nuts. If you are using lug nuts, then the...

Check out the chart in the product description that shows all of the dimensions of the spindle to verify this. You will need to use a dial caliper or micrometer to get an exact measurement. Only problem is that none of the hubs we offer that will fit this spindle are hub and drums nor have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If I am...
view full answer... - Trailer Hub Recommendation that has Inner Bearing L68148 and Outer Bearing L44649The trailer hub part # 84545UC1-EZ would be the correct trailer hub you would need as it uses an inner bearing of # L68149 and an outer bearing of # L44649 and has the bolt pattern 5 on 4-1/2 inches.
view full answer... - What Idler Hub Would Match Hub and Drum 8-247-50UC3-EZThe idler hub that would match 8-247-50UC3-EZ would be # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. This would match the bearings, bolt pattern, and is also galvanized for corrosion resistance.

But to be sure we get you the right hubs I would need to know the bolt pattern of the wheels for sure. I have included a link to the right that explains how to measure for bolt pattern. If it does end up being a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern then you can use hub # 84545BX or # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K for a galvanized hub. If the wheels require a different bolt pattern, use the other link...

We do offer seals that match your measurements, and which also correspond to the bearing number you provided, L44649. Part # BB60005 consists of two seals and seal rings, enough for 2 hubs. If you have a tandem axle trailer you will need two kits. For your reference I have linked a product video for this part.

Email me back with that info and hopefully we have something that would work for you.

- Availability of Hub that Uses LM67045 1.25 Inch Inner and Outer BearingI do have an option for you, however, we don't carry any hubs that use bearing number LM67045 for both the inner and outer bearings, or any hubs that use # 02475, # 14125A, # 15123 or # LM67048 (also 1.25 inch ID) for their inner and outer bearings. From what I was able to find, this type of hub was used on 2,500 lb axles on marine or utility trailers dating back to the 1960's for which replacement parts are nearly impossible to find today. Your best option is to replace your axle with...

- Are Bearings Already Packed With Grease?The Trailer Hub Bearings, # L44649, that come with the Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-258-5UC1, are not packed with grease, you would need to do so at the time of installation.

We have found that your trailer has inner bearing L68149, ID 1.378, race OD 20362, outer bearing L44649 ID 1.063, and race OD 1.980. I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-247-50UC3-EZ.

- Replacement Wheels with 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern for Old Home Made TrailerIt could be a mobile home axle. A lot of people use them to make trailers, which is a bad idea since they are designed for one time use only, and there are very few and hard to find replacement parts. The largest wheels we have that use the 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern are 16 inch wheels, see link. The hubs and drums we carry with the 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern will fit in 16 inches wheels so a 16 inch wheel might be the best option for you. Since the hub has studs sticking out of it that you...

If that measurement equals 2-5/8 inches then they're 5 on 4-1/2 hubs. The 4-1/2 is the diameter of the complete circle of the studs. Since you're bearings don't have any numbers on them you can measure to find the correct hub assembly. Measure your spindles where the bearings sit or the inner diameter of the bearings using a caliper. If the measurement you get is 1.00 inches then you have bearings # L44643 and need...

- Changing From 5 on 4 1/2 Bolt Pattern Hubs to 5 on 5 1/2 Bolt PatternThe Dexter # 8-91-05UC1-EZ uses the Bearings # L44649 for the inner and outer positions. This would mean they are limited to use on axles rated up to 2,200 pounds. If you wanted to upgrade the hub to a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern, like the etrailer.com Idler Hub # AKIHUB-555-35-K, you will most likely need to upgrade your axle. This would use the inner bearing # L68149 and the outer bearing # L44649 and are typically used on an axle with a 3,500 pound capacity. You can upgrade the axle a few...

This leaves you with two alternatives. Number one would be to cut off your existing spindles and install spindles like # TRU84FR that would be compatible with a standard hub like # 84545BX. The hub has the same number of lugs and bolt circle as your existing hubs, so you could use the same wheels. Removing the old spindles and welding the new ones into place is best...

Still have not built the utility trailer. Other project have taken priority.
