Corrosion Resistance for Marine Use

This trailer hub 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.


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"

These are great hubs for your boat/jet ski trailer. Nice to know they won't rust like my old ones did. Also a nice purchase to not have to install the races. Very pleased. thanks etrailer!

  • Will Dexter Trailer Hub # 8-259-50 Fit 1-1/4 Inch Spindle on Trailer
    If you have a 1-1/4 spindle like the TryuRyde # TRU94FR, then the Dexter Trailer Hub # 8-259-50 that you referenced will fit perfectly. With this in mind, I do recommend verifying the bearing numbers for your current hubs or taking a few measurements along the spindle where the bearings sit. You will want to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157, as the measurements need to be exact. I have attached an image to assist. This Dexter Trailer Hub uses the # L44643 or # L44649 inner and outer...

  • 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Idler Hub Compatible with 15 Inch Rim and L44643 Inner and Outer Bearings
    For a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern hub that's compatible with a spindle that uses the # L44643 as both the inner and outer bearing, I'd recommend the # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-1K from Axle Tech. The hub is compatible with 13-15 inch rims, so it'll work just fine for you. Races, bearings, grease cap and lug nuts are included. The hub includes a # 34823 grease seal, which has a 1.249 inner diameter. To ensure this will work for you, use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the diameter of...

  • Recommended Replacement for Dexter 8-259 Idler Hub
    We offer the correct replacement for you. If you have EZ-Lube spindles, use # 8-259-5UC1-EZ or # 8-259-5UC1 for standard spindles. The hub includes the L44649 inner and outer bearings, the L44610 inner and outer race, the 10-9 grease seal, the dust cap and lug nuts.

  • How to Measure to Find Correct Grease Seal for Hub With Inner Bearing L44649 & Outer Bearing L44643
    I was unable to locate any hub with those numbers, so in order to find the correct grease seal, what you'll need to do is measure. To get the measurement, use digital caliper and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the grease seal rides like in the accompanying photo. For a hub with inner bearing # L44649 and outer bearing # L44643 and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, you will likely need the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub for 2,000-lb and 2,200-lb Axles # 8-259-50.

  • Is Race Installed In Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly
    The race is pre-installed on the Dexter Axle Trailer Hub, part # 8-259-50. A separate tool is not required to use if you need to install a race. I am attaching a helpful article that explains how you can remove and install bearings, races, and seals in a hub. It is actually pretty easy, but you will want to use some caution to keep from damaging the new race.

  • Hub and Spindle that Can Fit 10 inch Wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern
    For a hub that is compatible with a 10 inch wheel and has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the Dexter part # 8-259-50 and then for a spindle part # TRU97FR .

  • Replacement Hub for Trailer with Spindle Diameter that Measures .9995
    For a hub with bearings that fit a spindle with the dimensions you mentioned we have the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub # 8-259-50. This does not come with a seal or bearings. You'd need # L44649 for bearings and # 10-9 for seals.

  • Trailer Hub Replacement with Bearings # L44643 and # L44649
    Based on the bearings you mentioned the correct hub you'd need is the part # 8-259-50. This does not come with bearings though so you'd need to also order the part # L44643 and # L44649 as well as the grease seal # 10-9.

  • Replacement Hub Assembly For 2003 EZLoader 3-EZB 12-14 Boat Trailer
    I recommend the Galvanized Dexter Trailer Idler Hub # 8-259-50. With this you will need 2 Trailer Hub Bearings # L44649 and a Grease Seal # 34823 per hub. The races are already installed on the hub and you can reuse your Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A unless they are damaged and in need of replacement. A new Cotter Pin # 165649 and Lug Nuts # CE11051 are also available individually if they also need replaced. Currently we do not have these parts available as a complete greased...

  • How to Select Replacement Hubs for Utility Trailer
    Axle capacity is usually noted on a sticker or plate on the axle itself. The linked article includes a table with typical axle capacities based on their diameter; this information appears in the first column. Selecting new hubs requires you to match up some keys features. You need to match the axle capacity, wheel bolt pattern and the bearing set used inside the hubs. This matching of bearings is critical to ensure the new hub will fit on your spindles.

  • Reasons for Wear on Inside of Trailer Tires
    Having the inside edges of your tires wear more quickly than the rest of the tread could have a few different causes. Trailer axles are arched, so that when the trailer is loaded, the tire contact patches sit fully on the ground. If the axle is overloaded, the axle can flex, placing the inside edges of the tires more in contact with the pavement than the center or outer edge of the tread. As you mentioned, it's also possible that the axle is bent. You'll also want to make sure that the...

The linked article on bolt patterns will make it easy to confirm which you have. You need to confirm the bearings used to ensure that the new hub will fit properly on your spindles.

  • Can Jayco Camper Trailer Swap from 4 Lug Hubs to 5 on 4-1/2 inch Hubs
    Pull one of the hubs off of your trailer and measure the diameter of the spindle where the bearings ride. If the diameter for both is 1.06 inches then the correct 5 on 4-1/2 inch hub would be the part # 8-259-50. If instead you have a spindle with a diameter of .99 inch you'd instead want the # 34822545BX.

  • Recommended 2200 lb Hubs For 12 Inch Wheels
    On your boat trailer with 12 inch wheels, if you want to install 2200 lb hubs that show a 13-15 inch wheel capacity, your ride may be effected or you may have difficulty installing the wheels as the face of the hub is sized differently. I recommend using 2200 lb hubs that are a fit for your 12 inch wheels like the Trailer Hub for 2,000-lb and 2,200-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - 8" - 12" Wheels - Galvanized # 8-259-50 or # 8-259-50UC1-EZ for an EZ Lube axle.
