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"

Install was easy, I just wish it came with a cotter pin. I had to run to HomeDepot.



by:

These hubs worked great. I had to add the spindle nut washers to get good engagement between the spindle nut and cotter pin. I would definitely buy these again.



by:

Hubs not made by dexter and not made in US. No reason to pay extra for these over other Chinese hubs. Would have returned but etrailer was slow to ship and I was leaving for a trip and couldn't wait.

It looks like you may have been sent the wrong part by mistake. I am sending this along to our customer service team to make sure that they reach out to you.



by:

There was a problem with the initial order I received and it was promptly handled by the polite and helpful customer assistant. These parts worked great for a single bike takedown trailer.



by:

The hub was very easy to install. The only problem I had was installing the wheel bearing hubs. It took many tries to get them on.



by:

Ordered two hubs, only one arrived. Second tracking number says it was never picked up. Now I have to wait 8 days for an investigation before I can get a replacement part. Upgraded the shipping so I could receive and work on trailer during the holiday break. No blame, just stating what happened.



by:

Made 4 800 mile trips to date with absolutely no problems. I would buy them again



by:

Smaller, bearing on the backside came out once I open the package

Oh my goodness! I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

I wanted to change from four lug wheels and tires to five lug type on my boat trailer. Towed trailer,loaded with fishing gear,fuel tanks, extra motor. and batteries from central Pennsylvania to Fort Peck, Montana and back. The trip was uneventful. Other than the fishing....it was GREAT!
Your new hubs made my trip successful.



by:

I have ordered from e-trailer twice. Both times they provide excellent service! Parts arrived amazingly fast!! One order had a damaged part, I called and got a very nice sales rep. Parts were replaced FREE. I will deffinatly order from them again. I ordered hubs, wheel and tires, and light kit for my boat trailer. All parts are good Quality.



by:

these are great hubs. my trailer had tiny 4 bolt hubs and wheels and these fit perfect on the 1" spindles and allowed me to run a much taller tire. even comes pregreased with plenty of grease



by:

The hub I ordered for my trailer worked perfectly!!!!!! The customer service is unreal, from fast shipping to constant checks(personal emails) to see if item had arrvied on time, truly a professional company that puts their customers above all. I never write reviews put this company definetly earned it, Thanks and I will be back!!!



by:

Hubs went on without any trouble. Only tricky part was to get the caps seated into the hub to trap the grease. Haven't used the trailer yet, but don't anticipate any problems. Shipping was awesome. I ordered with standard shipping and the box was on my porch the next afternoon.



by:

Put on trailer brand new again hubs bearings all good fast shipping will deal with you again thanks



by:

I initially ordered a pair of hubs from another online retailer That I has used prior and whom had mine "in stock". They didn't. After 5 days of no shipping info, they notified me they were back ordered. I cancelled the order.

I ordered a pair of these hubs from etrailer.com on 6/2, George notified me on 6/3 that they shipped and I received them on 6/6. That's customer service.

Price, availability and delivery. Every online retailer should strive for this level of attention..



by:

Fit perfectly



by:

Not only is the product exactly what we needed (the dust caps are a little on the lightweight side) but Matthew was extremely helpful in getting me the parts I needed to fix my trailer!



by:

Good product fair price. Packaged well. No missing parts.



by:

I am just starting on a restoration of a 40 plus year old motorcycle sidecar and the hub and wheel that I ordered are perfect for this project. I will try to send pictures on completion, probably a few months out.



by:

Perfect fit. Bad old trailer bearings? Buy the complete hub!



by:

fit perfect,
great website I easily
found what I needed,
seems well made,
the outside dust cover was hard to install (I had to fiddle with it)



by:

Product as great and eTrailer was prompt with the delivery.



by:

absolutely the best customer service ( George) and the fastest transit times - have been using them for years - never a problem



by:

high quality wheel hub



by:

Great price, fast shipping, and customer service is professional. I will continue buying from etrailer. Thanks for your business.

  • Spindle Nut Torque For Installing Trailer Hub that Won't Cause Hub to Heat Up
    The spindle nut that holds on a trailer hub needs to be just tight enough that it seats the bearings and everything is held in place but not tight enough to create friction and heat like you are experiencing. When our installers replace a trailer hub, there isn't a set torque spec used when tightening the spindle nut. The hub is placed on the spindle, making sure the inner and outer bearings are correctly seated. The spindle nut is then run down until you start feeling resistance. At...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Hub/Drum that Gets Hot Ater New Bearings and Assembly Adjustment
    If the adjustment and bearings are good you need to go in and check out what the inside of the hub drum looks like as it may have a wear issue that's causing heat to build up. While in there you'd want to check out everything in the brake assemblies too to make sure there's nothing broken or worn out as well.

  • How to Test Individual Trailer Brake Magnets with Battery and Circuit Tester
    Testing individual brake magnets for proper function can be accomplished by severing the magnet wires and connecting the ammeter between the positive terminal of a 12-volt battery and one of the magnet wires; it does not matter which one. Then connect the other magnet wire to the negative battery terminal. Check the amperage. If the amperage is greater than the specified amount (see specifications below), replace the magnet. If the reading is less than the specified amount, the leads are...

  • What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Hub for Mobile Home Axle
    Fitting current hub/drums to mobile home axles is usually a long shot since the MH axles are one-time use and don't use standard trailer components. But what you would need is the diameter of the spindle where the bearings and seal ride. With that we would know if there's a hub that would fit.

  • Trailer Hub Assembly Must be Put Together and Packed with Grease
    The trailer hub assembly, part number, 34822545BX, comes with the race attached to the hub. The seal and bearings are not attached. Those parts must be assembled and packed with grease prior to installing the cap. I have attached a FAQ sheet for wheel bearings and two videos for your review.

  • Recommendation for Replacement 5 Lug Hubs
    It sounds like you are looking to replace your hubs. I have attached a link to our trailer hubs where you can use the filters on the page to choose the bolt pattern of your hub, your wheel size, your axle capacity, and since most of our hubs also include the bearings, you will need to make this selection as well. The easiest way to determine the correct replacement bearings for your trailer is to remove the hub and find the part numbers that will be stamped on the inner and outer bearings....

  • Are the Bearings and Seal for the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Dexter Brand
    The included bearings and seal with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, # 34822545BX, were included with the hub from Dexter. Therefore, the bearings and seal are Dexter approved parts. Dexter does not manufacturer their bearings and seals for there hubs, but use the highest quality products from vendors with their products.

  • How Tight Should Spindle Nut On Dexter 7000lb Axle Be?
    When you say "Slack" what exactly do you mean? It is normal and required for the bearings to have some slack to allow the wheel to turn without too much friction, and you should be able to rock the hub back and forth and feel slight movement. When installing the hub you should tighten the spindle nut all the way and then back it off one to two notches back. That sounds like how you have it so it should be about right. Just make sure you are not having an abnormal amount of hub movement. I...

  • One Trailer Brake Assembly Heats Up But Stops When Brakes Are Disconnected
    From what you describe, it sounds as if you might have a combination of two separate issues happening. I suspect that you have one trailer brake assembly that's adjusted a bit further out than the others, combined with either a faulty brake controller that's putting out voltage when it shouldn't or corrosion that has built up in the trailer connector allowing power from a different circuit such as the 12-v supply to the trailer to bridge to the brake circuit. An out of adjustment brake...

  • Correct Replacement Hub for Malone LowMax Trailer
    The correct replacement hub for the Malone LowMax Trailer is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles part # 34822545BX. This hub is pre-greased so it will be easy to install in a pinch on the side of the road if needed.

  • Troubleshooting Oil Bath Hub Running Hot
    If that hub has sufficient oil in it then a hub running hot means that either the brake kit isn't adjusted properly or there is something wrong internally like a damaged bearing that is grinding metal instead of just rolling on it. To check the brakes (if you have them) you should be able to freely spin the wheel when it's suspended but you should have some drag. If the brakes check out then you need to pull the hub and inspect the internal components of it. Look for any abnormal wear...

  • Troubleshooting Boat Trailer Rim Getting Hot
    More than likely your tire blow out was due to the age along with the current heat here in the summer. I'm not sure how old they were exactly but a tire typically lasts 3-6 years. A tire blowout typically comes from excessive heat from underinflation, overloading, exceeding the speed rating, or flat spots/sidewall rubbing. Considering the fact that you took the trailer to a shop for replacement parts, and also had them double check once you noticed the heat, I would say you have nothing...

  • What Limits the Speed of a Trailer
    What limits the speed a trailer can go is the tires. Trailer tires are only rated to go 65 miles per hour. If you are traveling fast enough that bearings in good condition begin to damage themselves the trailer tires are probably already in the process of failing. Trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall, to handle vertical loads, that get hot enough to fail when you exceed 65 miles per hour. Going to a larger diameter wheel/tire will not give you the ability to exceed the speed...

  • Picking Out Replacement Hub for 80's Car Mate Enclosed Trailer
    We don't actually have any hub centric hubs as everything we offer is the more common lug-centric setup. Due to age of your trailer most likely the hubs you have are not compatible with what is available now but the axles could have been replaced. To pick out replacement hubs you would need to know the axle capacity and the bearing numbers/spindle dimensions where bearings ride as well as the wheel bolt pattern.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Hub that Gets Warms
    If the bearings are good and the hub is greased properly that basically limits the issue to the brakes. How much drag can you feel as you turn the wheel by hand with the trailer jacked up in the air? It should feel like a light drag and turn easily. Do all hubs get warm or just the one? To see how to manually adjust trailer brake assemblies check out the video I attached, fast-forward to the 4:35 mark of the video. Basically you will adjust the brakes out so that there is a slight but...

  • How to Choose the Correct Hub Assembly for Jet Ski Trailer
    There is no list of parts available for each year, make and model of trailer. In order to find the correct replacement hubs for your 2007 Triton, you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and...

  • Can Jayco Pop Up Trailer with 4 Lug Hubs be Swapped to 5 Lug Hubs
    Since you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern currently that would indicate that you have a 2,000 lb axle so you could swap your current hubs pretty easily with the bolt pattern you are looking for with the part # 34822545BX that you referenced. This hub comes pre-greased and ready to install as well.

    In 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, since you are looking for 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern this is covered. 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 or use a dial caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle....

  • How to Determine Bearing Dimensions to Select Replacement Trailer Hub
    My bearing cross reference does not include the Bower bearing numbers BT1151 and T09074 so in order to see if we have a hub that uses compatible bearings you'll want to measure your spindles at the points C and D shown in the linked image. These are the points on the spindle where the inner and outer bearings ride. You will need a precision digital caliper, so that you can measure precisely to the nearest thousandth of an inch, such as 1.234-inches. A new hub must use tapered roller bearings...

  • Picking Out Replacement Trailer Hub for 2006 Karavan 1250
    If you can confirm that your trailer has 2,000 lb axles yes, the # 34822545BX is the correct replacement hub. We don't have a way to look that up so you'd want to check your axles for a tag that lists capacity or the VIN plate will have that as well. Based on your weight being 1,250 lbs I'd be surprised if this wasn't the correct fit though. Or if you pull off your old hub and measure the spindle where the bearings ride and find that it's 1 inch in diameter there that would confirm it as well.

  • Where to Measure on Trailer Spindle to Pick Out Replacement Hub
    Are you sure about the inner diameters of the bearings? Since you said it's a Dexter we should have a solution unless this is a mobile home axle. Typically Dexter spindles have an inner diameter of 1.38 and an outer diameter of 1.06 where spindles ride or have inner diameter that is 1.74 and outer diameter that is 1.25 inch so it seems you might be measuring wrong place. Especially since the seal diameter of the first spindle dimension set I mentions is 1.73 inches. Check out the picture...

  • Why Would Trailer Hub Get Hot When Leaking Grease/Oil
    If the oil or grease of your hub is leaking out then the heat you have found is related to that. Without proper lubrication the hub is getting hot. If this is a grease hub and you put oil in it then that would be why it would be leaking out. Or you overfilled the hub with grease and in doing so blew out the seal. This is a common problem with people who use Bearing Buddies. Either way you need to replace the seal and repack the hub with grease properly. I attached a video that demonstrates...
