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"

  • What Spindle Does Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11HD Fit
    The disc brake kit part # K2R1058D11HD that you referenced was designed to fit on hubs for the 99 spindle like the part # 8-288-3UC1. The 99 hub like you mentioned does have bearing diameters of 2.25 inch as well as 1.75 inch so you are correct. The description does say it's a slip-on style disc brake kit which is a bit oversimplified like you mentioned since this does require the hub coming off to fit the brake flange on.

  • Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly for a Dexter 10K General Duty Axle 387A Inner and 25580 Outer
    We have exactly what you are looking for. If your axles were made before 07-01-2009, then you have the old style 2-piece hub and drums, so you will want the Complete Hub Assembly, # 8-288-3UC1. Keep in mind, this does not include the drum. If you also need the drum, then you will want part # 9-44-1 for a non-ABS drum or part # 9-44-3 for a drum with the ABS exciter ring installed and 8 drum mounting bolts, # 7-245. The hub assembly comes with the races already installed and it includes...

  • Will Oil Run out of Hub When Cap is Removed
    Yes, it is perfectly normal for the oil to pour out when removing the cap of an oil bath hub such as the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly - Oil Bath # 8-288-3UC1. If you take a look at the photo I added from the linked video showing the installation of an oil seal; the photo shows the removal of the cap and the oil coming out.

  • Replacement Hub and Rotor for 3,500 lb Axle of Trailstar Trailer
    I am sure we can help replace all of the brake components but without a brand I can't really help pin point just the hub/rotor. Instead the best we could do is a kit that replaces the hub rotors, the mounting bracket, and the calipers. So you could use the part # K2HR35D and have a replacement for both sides of your axle and you'd be set. This has the correct capacity of 3,500 lb and bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch.

  • Best Way to Convert Lippert 10K Axles to Disc Brakes
    Yes, we have everything you need to convert the electric drum brakes on your 2014 Kaufman Car Wedge Trailer to electric over hydraulic disc brakes. In order to do this you are going to need disc brake assemblies, trailer hubs, brake lines, and an electric over hydraulic actuator. For the disc brake assemblies you will want to use the Kodiak Disc Brakes part # K2R1058D11DAC. You will need one kit per axle. For the trailer hubs you will want to use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly...

  • Recommended Replacement Hub And Drum For 10,000-Lb Dexter Axle
    The hub assembly you need is part # 8-288-3UC1. This is the replacement hub for the Dexter old-style 2-piece hub and drums. This is designed for 10,000-lb axles, and includes the hub, bearings, races, seal, oil cap, wheel bolts, wheel retaining ring, and lug nuts. The drum that is designed to work with this is part # 9-44-1 for the non-ABS drum. If you need the ABS drum with exciter ring you will need part # 9-44-3. The mounting bolets are sold separately and they are part # 7-245....

  • Disc Brake Kit Availability for a Dexter 10k Axle
    The Kodiak 10K Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11 is intended to allow conversion of a Dexter 8-288 idler hub for use with disc brakes. It is compatible ONLY with one specific hub, the Dexter hub 8-288 built between February 1990 and August 2009. What you can do is take off your hubs and measure the diameter of the spindle where the bearings and seal rides. If where the bearings ride is 2.250 and 1.750 and for the seal 2.875 this hub will fit. If your trailer already has disk brakes then you...

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Hubs for Trailer
    To find correct replacement hubs for your Dexter trailer axle you will want to pull one of the existing ones so you can remove its inner and outer bearings. You need these bearing numbers to help you select a new hub that will fit on your axle's spindles. The new hubs must use the same set of bearings as the old ones. Please refer to the linked photo that shows how these numbers are typically stamped into the bearing housing. Once you know your bearing numbers all you need to do is click...

  • Do Oil Bath Trailer Hubs Require Grease Applied to Bearings
    You do not need to grease bearings that go into an oil-bath hub like the Dexter 10k hub part # 8-288-3UC1. Filling the hub with oil like you mentioned would be all that's needed.

  • Replacement Dexter 9,000 lb Idler Hubs
    You'll definitely need idler hubs to go to disc brakes, and while we don't have 9k disc brakes, we potentially have the hubs. This will depend on when your Dexter general duty axle was made, and the only thing we have are oil bath idler hubs. - Axles Manufactured After April 2013: Dexter Oil Hub for 9K to 10K General Duty Axles # 008-430-03 - Axles Manufactured Before July 2009: Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 9,000-lb to 10,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Oil Bath # 8-288-3UC1

  • Can a 1-Piece 9K/10K Dexter Hub and Drum be Replaced with a 2-Piece 9K/10K Hub and Drum
    I spoke directly with my technical contact over at Dexter. Basically you cannot replace an 8-430 hub with an 8-288 hub due to differences in the spindles that each of those hubs fit. If your axle was made after July of 2009 then you will need to use # 8-430-5UC3. If it was made before July of 2009 you would instead use # 8-288-3UC1 with drum # 9-44-1 for non-ABS systems or # 9-44-3 for ABS systems.

  • Why Are My Oil Bath Hubs On A Ranger Boat Trailer Running Hot
    With what you have replaced, it can only be one or two things that is causing your issue. First will actually be the spindle. It may look good, but very minor imperfections can cause friction and may be what is going on. I would make sure the bearings are seating properly on the spindle and not "rocking" back and forth at all. I also highly recommend making sure the bearings are seating in the hub properly as well. If the races that the bearings sit in are a little off or if there is...

  • Recommended Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Conversion for Dual 10K Axles
    The Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D13 by Kodiak is the brake set that you will need to use for your 10,000 lb Dexter Torsion axles. When it comes to hardware, like the brake line, I recommend going with the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # HS496-252 which will wear better than other traditional brands. These lines are very flexible so the line is easy to maneuver under the trailer. The only downfall is that you cannot cut the line due to how hard and risky it is to do yourself. All you have...

  • Availability of Spindle and Hubs for 10,000 lb Trailer Axle
    As you may have noticed, the highest capacity spindle we carry is for a 7,000 lb axle, # TRU37FR. Your best bet is to source the spindles for a 10,000 lb axle through a local trailer shop or dealer. If are able to source the spindles, we do have hubs for 10,000 lb axles. I'll list them below: # 8-430-5UC3 - Dexter Hub Drum for 9K to 10K axles manufactured after July 2009 (for non ABS brakes) - uses inner bearing # 387A, outer bearing # 25580 and oil seal # 10-51 # K08-288-90 - Dexter...

  • Why Are There Different Brake Drums for 9,000 and 10,000 lb Axles After July 1, 2009?
    The Dexter Trailer Hub/Drum Assembly # 8-430-5UC3 is a one piece assembly, hub and drum together. It fits Dexter 9k and 10k general duty axles made after 07/01/2009. Hub # 8-288-3UC1 is a 2 piece for 9K axle (after 10/89) and 10K axle (through 7/1/09). It does not come with the drum or mounting bolts. Dexter changed their spindle diameters on these two capacity (9,000 and 10,000 lb) axles. The biggest difference was in the inner diameter of the seal needed.

  • Parts Needed to Install Disc Brakes on Gooseneck Trailer with 10k Axles
    Since we know you have 10k axles that makes picking out the disc brake kit easy. For that you'd need the part # K2R1058D11E but you'd need to have idler hubs installed already like # 8-288-3UC1 as this is a kit designed to slip over idler hubs. If you the plan is to go to electric over hydraulic brakes you'll need an actuator as well. For that the HydraStar brand is the way to go. For that the part # CAR-HBA16-2 comes with everything needed to install including brake lines so you'd be set.
