E-Z Lube-Compatible Hub for Simple Lubrication
The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
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"

Rebuilding my boat trailer. So far have purchased a Dexter axle and hubs, and new springs from E-Trailer. Everything has exceeded my expectations. I am very happy with their products and would recommend their products to my friends.

This is my second hub(for the other side) first side is still going strong after a couple years.
by: Tony09/02/2017
Brand new to camping, a little nervous for a first time long trip. Found the hub assembly at a very good price and bought it for just-in-case. A very good take along investment and takes almost no space. Quality and completeness just like the original.

Still havent needed my insurance it is money well spent
by: John Martyanik 10/19/2017
Upgraded my axle on 1973 Elgin trailer. The old axle used 2.75 shorty hubs that are hard to locate bearings and seals for. Once i installed the new axle, the Hubs from Etrailer fit like a glove right out of the box. No frustration and no worries. Something that could be said of the old set up. Time to go Fishing.
by: Anthony G06/17/2013
great price, great product delivered fast. I could not find these parts in my area in stock anywhere. parts places here were happy to order the parts for me at 3X the cost of etrailer

I am happy to tell you I have not needed to use the hub. I purchased it as a spare for a camping trailer I own. I keep the hub in the trailer in case I have a problem on a trip. It is good quality, I hope to not need it, but I am happy I have it.
by: Bob O.10/19/2013
What a great experience. I wish all my online purchases went this well. You sure know how to do customer service right. Easy website, great fit, great price & rush shipping at no extra charge. I don't know how it could have been any easier. I'll definitely be back!

I couldnt be happier. The trailer is not something you should have to worry about...it should just follow the van down the road. With the replacement of the hubs, it does so without giving it a second thought. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing!
by: Steve W12/31/2016
The hub assembly worked out great, the fast delivery saved my vacation at that time! The bearing kit I have not used yet, I purchased as a spare.. Not sure what else you offer. forward your web site info..

Excellent product. Perfect fit and the rubber grommets
Make for easy greasing! Would recommend and buy from E trailer again.

Great service, your authorized partner Sumter Tire and auto in wildwood Florida did a great job installing everything. Couldn’t be happier
by: Ronald 08/04/2022
The quality is excellent and the order was processed the same day and shipped. (Sweet!) Installed a grease zerk fitting to the hubs to take advantage of the EZ lube function.
by: Chuckie10/27/2014
The replacement bearings from Pep Boys cost as much as the new hub kit from E Trailer! Now my old boat trailer is as reliable as a new trailer. No worries towing my boat to Vermont from NJ. Great product, Thanks !!!
by: Rose09/08/2019
I ordered hub and bearing parts for my trailer not knowing what I was doing. They got everything by my description. I ran into a problem getting the old parts off so it's not yet complete. Etrailer did it again and i got it fast. Thank you Etrailer for the great service.
by: Tony10/25/2017
I was completely impressed with all the customer service I received. I don't recall ever having the hard work you folks did. I will make future orders with you..But one thing..the caps that go on the hub we're a nightmare...not sure what the deal was but I finally got them on. But more important..thank you very much for customer service.
by: Joe from Scranton, PA02/14/2013
As always, ETRAILER has supplied excellent service and quality products. The parts were just what was needed and fit well. I can honestly recommend them to anyone.
by: Mike S.05/01/2012
Nice new hubs for my boat trailer. My only concern is using boxing tape instead of Saran wrap to hold everything together with the hubs. I had to clean the adhesive off the hubs before I could paint them. Other than that, excellent!
by: Dave07/19/2019

- Why Are There Multiple Hubs That Use The Same Bearings and Have The Same Bolt Pattern?You are correct that there are quite a few different idler hubs that use inner and outer bearing # L44649 and have the 4 on 4" bolt pattern you mentioned. The difference is there are a few different styles like galvanized, or if your axle does not have a zerk fitting for adding grease. I recommend going with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 4 on 4 - L44649 Bearings # 8-91-05UC1-EZ is for EZ lube spindles that have a zerk fitting so it includes a grease...

This bearing's inner diameter is 1.000-inches and it fits a BT8 spindle like # TRU94FR which has 0.99-inch bearing surfaces. The hub kit includes bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts as shown in linked review video.

To add this system to your trailer, you will need to move your current axle either forward or backward to ensure that the weight of the trailer and any load is distributed to both axles properly. I have attached a diagram that explains how to find the correct axle spacing for a tandem axle trailer to...

- How to Pick Out a Replacement Trailer Hub 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. 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...

- Needing Dexter Hub # 8-91AThe hub that you are looking for comes in the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-91-05UC1 on our site. For the E-Z Lube version you would instead want the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-91-05UC1-EZ. I contacted Dexter Axle and confirmed that these were the correct hubs for the 8-91A hub you are looking to purchase.
view full answer... - Using the Timbren Axle-Less Systems To Upgrade From Single Axle to Tandem Axle on 4,000 Lb Trailer The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems are excellent options for many reasons with one being that is makes for upgrading from a single to tandem axle setup much easier in regards to both installation difficulty and parts needed. In order to choose the correct system, you'd need a total capacity that meets the total weight of the trailer minus the tongue. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems part # ASR2000S01 which has a 2,000 lbs weight capacity would have you covered...

This kit does not include seals, bearings, races, hubs or lug nuts. We do offer a complete 4-on-4 bolt pattern hub kit - with all of these additional components - as part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ. Because the rating of the Timbren system is 400-lbs per side, the resulting overall capacity for these items will be that of...

This Timbren system can be bolted or welded to your trailer frame. What matters for using this system is that your existing hubs must have the same bearings, races and seals as the hubs for which this system is intended. The compatible inner and outer bearings are L44649, races are L44610...

- Replacement Trailer Idler Hub For Dexter 8-91A Hub With 4 on 4" Lug PatternYou will need either the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-91-05UC1 that fits standard axles, or the Dexter E-Z Lube Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-91-05UC1-EZ that fits axles that have the E-Z lube grease. Both hubs will include all new bearings, races, lug nuts, a grease cap and a grease seal. I recommend using LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 to fill the bearings and the hubs thanks to its superior wear resistance in both hot and cold climates.
view full answer... - Replacement Idler Hubs for Lightweight Boat Trailer with 1.06 Inch Diameter SpindlesWith the spindle dimension you mentioned, it sounds like your existing hubs used # L44649 bearings. I'd recommend you check your existing bearings to confirm. If that's the case, you'd need the # 8-91-05UC1-EZ hub, which is compatible with a 1.06 diameter spindle. The surface of your spindle where the grease seal rides should measure 1.5 inches in diameter. You'd need a Bearing Buddy with a 1.980 diameter, like part # BB1980A-SS. Since you're planning on using the Bearing Buddies, you...

None of the hubs we offer are compatible with spindles that have a diameter that small. Honestly, you'll likely have a difficult time locating replacement hubs compatible with that spindle and your best bet will be to replace the axle for one that has spindles that are compatible with readily available modern parts. To determine the replacement axle you'll need, you'll need to find the hub face to hub face dimension as well...

- Timbren Axle Less Kit Solution for Small Utility TrailerWhile we don't have a standard axle that matches the dimensions you need we do have the Timbren Axle Less system part # ASR1200S04 which would work well as an alternate axle setup. It has a 1,200 lb capacity too so it would work great on your trailer that weighs 750 lbs. And then for a 4 lug hub that would fit the part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ is a fit and would work great. This setup would give you better ground clearance and covers the suspension solution you'd need as well.

- Replacement Hub and Bearing Recommendations for Trailer Hub with L44649 BearingsSince both of your bearings are # L44649 you would want a coated hub like the part # 8-259-50UC1 since this is for a boat trailer. This hub has a Gal-Dex coating to fight corrosion. This hub has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If instead you have 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ. Or for just the bearings you would want the part # L44649 that I mentioned. Or for a bearing kit with new seals and races you would want part # BK1-150. The included seal is a...

Instead I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension which are available in quite a few different weight ratings. There the 1200lb # ASR1200S02 which uses the same idler hub # 8-91-05UC1-EZ, and the 2000lb # A20RS545 which comes with idler hubs with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern already installed. The Timbren systems bolt directly to the frame of your trailer and...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub Options For Wheels and Tires With Dexter 2,000LB Axle Utility Trailer ConversionI reached out to Dexter to find out the parts you have on your axle. The 4-Lug Hub # 8-91-05UC1-EZ you have does have enough capacity for your axle to support 2,000lbs. Switching to a 5-Lug Hub # 8-258-5UC1-EZ will not increase the carrying capacity of your axle. It will allow you to use larger diameter wheels 13"-15" if you are looking to use different wheels and tires but your current hub will support 10"-12" wheels which are enough for the 2,000lb capacity.

This includes two bearings, two races, a 10-60 seal, EZ Lube spindle washer, and cotter pin. The bearings included in this kit are a match for the inner and outer bearings for the # T20BTR-7258 axle. You will want to make sure that the races and seal will fit inside the hub you will be using. The seal has an outer diameter of 1.987 inches and the races have an outer diameter of 1.980 inches.

To determine the trailer hub assembly for your rear rack on the fifth wheel, we will need to know what spindle is on the rack. The best way to make this determination is to remove the existing hub on the rack and acquire the part numbers off of the bearings and seal. You will also need to determine the bolt pattern of the original hub, or select a new wheel and tire combination that will work with the hub you choose. I posted a photo...

That being said, if you wanted to go with this tire and wheel combo, there is a solution to get the added room.

- 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...
