Corrosion Resistance for Marine Use
This trailer hub assembly has a zinc coating that resists corrosion, making it ideal for use on your boat or snowmobile trailer. All GAL-DEX hubs undergo a test in which they are sprayed with a 5-percent salt solution to determine corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 500 hours of constant exposure to the saltwater mist. This 500-hour salt spray rating indicates that a product is not only durable enough to last in freshwater environments, but it can also be used on trailers that come into contact with saltwater.
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"

I replaced the axle and hubs on my old trailer. I wanted to lower the height of my trailer. These items worked great. A year later I’ve had no issues with these components.
by: Ryan08/13/2022
One assembly shipped with the wrong bearings. The other had damaged bearings.. I wasn't happy with the hoops i had to jump through to get the correct bearings. The hub and bearings were simply shrink wrapped together and shipped in a box, so the carrier likely damaged the bearings. But etrailer could have definitely packed these better.
Nothing else wrong with the products and a few weeks later I received the right bearings after shipping back the bent up ones. Just a pain in the ass to wait and have a company question my integrity about some $[XX] bearings... oh and rear seals didn't match up to my spindle. I purchased those elsewhere.
etrailer asked for this review 6 months after my purchase date.

I ordered two of these hub kits for my boat trailer. They arrived on the day first estimated.
I would have rated them five stars if the bearings were not packed loosely into a plastic bag with seals, lug nuts, and grease caps. The seals are also clearly a lesser grade. I did not use them.
Everything assembled and went on fine though.

Made my Trailer ride like new... Excellent products and service.

Great replacement for mfr. hub. As advertised and perfect fit.
by: Richard 10/23/2022
Bought a teardrop camper used, noticed the OEM hub bearing seals had begun to seep grease. Replaced them both quickly and easily with this kit. We camp on BLM land up barely maintained fire roads and these are holding up very nicely. And the customer service here is excellent.
by: Ray06/25/2018
Overall I would rate this product as good. My only issue with them is that the hub cap is really thin and cheap. It basically caved-in during installation. I would recommend buying a better set of hub covers if you purchase these hub kits.

SO FAR EVERYTHING IS RUNNING GREAT...NO PROBLEMS.... GREAT PRODUCT.....

Great advice from etrailer. Everything fits and easy to install. Love the fact that the hubs are galvanized.
by: Joao10/28/2018
Bearing went out after a few months due to bad seal. Wish I took a pic at the time, but had to fix it as asap with a spare. Customer service responded quickly , but should've provided a discount for an obvious manufacturing defect. Quick shipping
by: Brian 08/15/2022
Everything fit as it should and have held up so far with no issues. Very happy with this and every other i have had with etrailer.com

Perfect fit for my Hyde Drift Boat Trailer. Easy to install. I was in a hurry and selected the most inexpensive shipping, which i didn't realize was USPS. Go with the UPS 2 Day!
by: David C.10/06/2017
I'm rebuilding an axle on my trailer that I haul my bobcat and tractor on. I found all the parts I needed and they were shipped on time. It saved me a lot of time to have them shipped to my plant. We are in a rural area. I will be using etrailer for all my trailer needs.
by: Donald10/04/2019
As always etrailer had what I needed. I shopped around and no other outlet had exactly what I wanted. Their website is easy to navigate and makes finding the right part a breeze.

Samantha H did a great job helping me out with the purchase of new bearings and hubs for my utility trailer.
by: Matt S04/11/2019
The "Galvanized" coating wore off in spots during shipping so not sure how well it'll hold up over time. Other wise good quality and perfect fit.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Trailer Hub that Fits 1 inch or 1-1/6 inch Diameter SpindleWe have hubs that are designed to fit spindle diameters that you mentioned of 1 inch and 1-1/6 inch. If you have a straight spindle with a 1 inch diameter you'd have a BT8 spindle and the hub part # 8-258BTUC1 that you referenced would fit. If you have a spindle with a straight diameter of 1-1/6 inch then you'd have a BTR spindle and would want a # 8-258-50UC1. The diameter of the spindle where the seal would ride on either would be 1.25 inch. If you can verify your spindle dimensions...

- Can Boat Trailer With Shorelander Hub 4470337 go From 12 Inch to 13 Inch Tires & WheelsOkay, we definitely have a solution for you here, and I'll start with the clearance; with trailer tires you need to have 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail. For reference, a 5.30-12 tire (when inflated) is 5.6" wide and 21.9" diameter, and a 175/80-13 tire is 7" wide and 24.1" in diameter. So you can use those measurements (1.4" or a little more than 1-3/8" wider as well as 2.2"...

I also attached a link to a page that has all of the 2,200 lb hubs we offer as well.
view full answer... - New Grease Seal Leaked After Installation of Bearing Buddies with Hub Kit # 8-248-50UC1Thank you for your recent purchase from etrailer. The grease seal included with this hub kit has an inner diameter of 1.500-inches and an outer diameter of 1.987-inches. This seal should be fully seated into the rear bore of the hub so that it is flush with the back hub surface. The grease seal leak you experienced could come from the seal not being fully seated into the hub, or it could, as you noted, be a result of the over-filling of your Bearing Buddies. If this hub does not have...

So, there's a few things you need to know to get the right replacement hub - the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. To find the bearings, since you already have the hub off, now you just need to take it apart and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should...

This hub is going to come with the inner bearing # L44649 and race, outer bearing # L44649 and race, grease seal, grease cap, and galvanized lug nuts included so that you won't have to purchase them separately.

- Selecting Replacement Hubs for 1963 Travel TrailerThank you for the information from your vintage travel trailer's existing hub assembly. This is likely a casting number and will not give us what we need to find you correct replacement hubs, but it is not hard to determine correct new hubs. You will definitely want to replace both hubs. Things you need to match up are the hub bolt pattern, the axle weight rating and the bearing numbers.

- Which Hub with Bearings L44649 Can work with Trailer BrakesWhile the idler hub part # 8-258-50UC1 will fit on your axle it can't be used with brakes as it does not have a drum attached to it. So instead you'd want the # 8-257-5UC3 which is the version of this hub that has a brake drum attached to it. For brake assemblies you'd then need the part # 23-47 for the left hand side and part # 23-48 for the right hand side. I also attached a link to a help article that covers adding brakes to a trailer for you to check out as well.

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...

- Length of Wheel Studs on Dexter Hubs 8-258-5UC1 and 8-258-50UC1The length of the threaded portion of the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-258-50UC1 is 2 inches and for the part # 8-258-5UC1 is 1-7/8 inches.
view full answer... - How to Measure a Spindle to Determine the Bearing Numbers to Find the Correct Replacement HubsTo find replacement hubs you'll need to measure your spindles where the inner and outer bearings sit using a digital caliper like # PTW80157. In the picture I've attached the locations are C and D. You may also be able to determine the bearings you have based on the bearing numbers stamped into them if you still have the bearings and can read the numbers.

- Replacement Hub Recommendation for Old Hub with L44649 Inner and Outer when Going to 13 inch HubsIf you wanted to replace you hub and while upgrading your wheels the # 8-258-50UC1 would fit your axle since you said your bearings are L44649. This hub is compatible with 13 inch to 15 inch wheels so it would be a great option. This hub is also galvanized as well to help fight corrosion.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs for BTR Spindles on Sonic Utility Trailer with 2000 lb Lippert AxleAs long as the surface of the spindle where the grease seal rides is 1-1/2 inches in diameter, the # 8-258-50UC1 hub you'd looked at would indeed be compatible. The spindles on Lippert axles cross compatible with most Dexter hubs, so that won't present a problem. The only possible issue is that the # 8-258-50UC1 provides grease caps designed for use with standard (not EZ Lube) spindles. The etrailer brand # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K would be a less expensive alternative that would also be compatible...
view full answer... - Replacement Galvanized Idler Hub For a Trailer With L44649 Bearings, 15192TB Seal and 13" WheelsWe have either the Standard Hub # 8-258-50UC1 or the EZ Lube Hub # 8-258-50UC1-EZ which will fit your spindle and have the ability to move to the larger 13" wheel size. These both have the galvanized finish and include new bearings, seal and lug nuts. You will need to get 2 of whichever hub style you need as the hubs are sold individually.

The # 8-91-05UC1 hub assembly has a 4-on-4 bolt pattern and uses the L44649 bearings. A galvanized version isn't offered, but there's one available in a 5 lug on 4-1/2 bolt circle, part # 8-259-50UC1 for 8-12 inch wheels or # 8-258-50UC1 for 13-15 inch wheels. Keep in mind, if you switched to the 5 lug hub, you'd need to swap out your existing wheels for wheels with a 5-on-4-1/2 inch...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub for 1989 Ranger TrailerJudging by your photo, your trailer would use an idler hub, not a hub drum. Assuming you have 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt circle wheels that use an # L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing, you have a few choices. Rather than the painted hub, I'd recommend going with a galvanized hub for greater corrosion resistance. Dexter hubs are manufactured in the US, which is what I'd recommend. For an 8, 10 or a 12 inch wheel, use # 8-259-50UC1 for a standard spindle or # 8-259-50UC1-EZ for the EZ Lube...

- Galvanized Trailer Idler Hub With Bearings L44649, 2,200 lb Axles and 13 Inch to 15 Inch WheelsThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly - Galvanized # 8-258-50UC1-EZ is correct if you have inner and outer bearings # L44649, the grease seal has a 1.50" inner diameter, and you have 13" to 15" wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This is for E-Z lube axles so if you have standard axles you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly - Galvanized # 8-258-50UC1 which is the same part except its grease cap does not have a plug like # RG04-040 for access to the E-Z Lube grease zerk.

view full answer... - What Bearing Buddy Can Fit Trailer Hub # 8-258-50UC1The correct size Bearing Buddy to fit the trailer hub part # 8-258-50UC1 that you referenced is the # BB1980A or part # BB1980A-SS for stainless steel.
view full answer... - Choosing Between Painted or GAL-DEX Coated Version of Dexter Trailer HubThe GAL-DEX coated version of the hub you referenced is part # 8-258-50UC1. There is a very small price differential between the painted and the GAL-DEX version. The GAL-DEX coating can withstand a continuous 500 hour exposure to salt spray before corrosion sets in. In my opinion, the extra corrosion protection is well worth the small increase in price.

Since your components being seized makes this difficult, I researched your 2002 Coleman Cottonwood popup trailer and it normally has a 2,200-lb axle with inner and outer bearings like Item # L44649.

- Availability of Replacement Grease Seal With 1.25-Inch Inner DiameterThe Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly for 2,200-lb Axles # 8-258-50UC1 that you referenced is a complete kit that includes the hub, bearings, races and grease seal. If you require a seal with a different diameter you can simply order this as a separate item since the kits are pre-packed. The easiest way to order a seal is with the original part number, but if you need to search for one by size you can use the link provided. Part # 34823 is a single grease seal and part # RG06-010 is a pair of...
