E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-Compatible Hub for Simple Lubrication
The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube or etrailer Easy Grease 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"

Marine-grade hub is designed for trailer idler axles. Fits 2K Dexter E-Z Lube and etrailer Easy Grease axles with BTR spindles. Inner bearing (L44649) and race, outer bearing (L44649) and race, grease seal, grease cap, and nuts included.by: Mark03/12/2024
no complaints about the actual hub assembly, although i followed a forum post by from here that they recommend this kit for my trailer number and it didn't work(wrong size bearings/seal). Recommend doing all your own research to double check when buying. Asked if i could just buy different bearing kit for it so didn't waste the whole hub being that etrailer said they wouldn't do any returns and they said no.Looked at both kit and found the appropriate one that i needed any only difference was the bearings/seals.Outer race for bearing were the same in both so knew i could just order bearing/seal kit and use the hub's still.

Excellent - fast shipping, exact fit, and easy installation following the etrailer video.

This would have been 5 stars but the product description is incorrect. The description states that the ID of the grease seals included is 1.500". I needed seals with an ID of 1.25" so I purchased separate seals. Upon inspection of the seals included in this kit when I received it, the seals
have an ID of 1.25" so I purchased additional seals for no reason...

Correct part, installation was easy.
by: Russell06/05/2023
Kit arrived as advertised. I purchased a pair of these hub kits to replace 20+ year old hubs on my 16' skiff's boat trailer. No issues rolling down either back roads or the interstate. I will be purchasing another, for a spar, to keep in my truck ... just in case I'd have a bearing failure. Be sure to have bearing grease and a grease gun to complete the installation.

Simple quality replacement, will do the job

went together well once terri sent the right parts. dust caps did not fit hubs. the rubber seals worked but caps didnt fit. no big deal used the originals. thanks for having what i needed since basspro didnt have parts for there own boat . go figure. thanks terri

Everything was good except one of the bearing cages was bent in.
by: Mark 02/10/2023
Easy and reliable. If you’re dipping your trailer into the salt. You’ll be doing periodic maintenance on the hubs. These make life easier. I keep a spare for the long hauls. It’s a good idea just in case.
by: Dave 11/10/2022
My old hubs were not made to be able to remove the bearing races so I needed new hubs. These are far superior to the original hubs as they are galvanized and made for a boat trailer. Two things to to improve and make this a no-brainer. First, include a cotter key or two in each hardware package. Luckily I had a spare one. Second, there are two sizes of inner bearing seals and my axle needed the smaller of the two which I had to buy locally. Not a big deal other than the inconvenience. I liked the new lug nuts being included as my old ones were in less than ideal condition. I did not use the easy-lube covers as I upgraded to Bearing Buddies since this trailer goes in the water and I wanted to make sure the water stays out. I look forward to long service from these hubs.
by: James03/03/2022
I have an issue with my hub assembly kit; before I ordered product I called customer support and went thru order process with your product expert ; during installation process an issue with the grease seal the outside diameter is correct for the new hub but the inside diameter is 1.50 and my trailer spindle is 1.25 so I called customer support and was told I would just have to purchase new ones, I feel there is a flaw in your order process not to have this included in the information needed

Gary - 11/20/2022by: Tom H.07/23/2019
The hub is still going strong after a year of regular use. I keep it greased and it does the rest. The price was right, too. This hub with bearings and seals was about the same price as the bearings alone at the local auto parts dealer. I do have two small negatives, neither of which take a star off my review. One, the dust cap fits very tightly and is hard to get on the first time. I had to grind the edges just a bit for it to go on. Second, the grease seal with the kit didn't fit my axle, although the bearings did. Check on this if your axle is a bit different. I don't remember the dimensions, but it was the ID of the seal that was too big.
by: Matt 01/21/2023
The hub and bearing kit work perfect for my trailer.
by: Mark 10/18/2021
I bought this as a spare for my trailer. I kept it in my car along with a tub of marine grease. Just for emergencies. I was visiting my son in NY fishing on Long Island Sound. The hub on his trailer was wobbling when we pulled the boat out. I had a spare and it saved the day. Great parts at a great price!
by: Peter10/26/2018
I had no problem putting these new hubs on my Shortland'r PWC trailer. The inner grease seals that come with the package had to be swapped out for a different size, but that was a small added cost. The studs are plenty long for the wheels I have and with a shallow depth lug wrench, you might lose a little of the overlap on the lug nut.
by: Kevin06/07/2017
This is a great company. I have placed several orders over many years. This company knows the product they sell. Customer service and order accuracy is unmatched. Highly recommend.
by: James03/18/2022
Gwen was super helpful in me getting the correct parts to replace the axle and hubs on my H.F. fold up trailer. NOTE: If you aren't sure the hubs are for your axle, contact etrailer customer service to make sure. I ordered the wrong hub for my axle and had to pay to ship them back, then wait a week for the correct hubs to be delivered. Also the axle nut, washer and cotter pin was missing, but Gwen got them shipped to me and they arrived in time for my trip.
by: Danny 08/24/2020
I had to replace all the hubs after two years of minimal usage. The manufacturer had assembled the axles without washers and spun all bearings and races! They didn't even use galvanized hubs. Quick delivery and exact fit! Thank you etrailer!!!
by: Todd01/15/2019
The grease seal was the wrong size for my axle. May have been my fault not sure. Had to uninstall and get new seals and reinstall. Of course it was 0 degrees out!
Comments
Good to know that you were able to get the correct size grease seals for your axle. This kit includes the inner grease seal 10-9 that has an inner diameter of 1.5 and outer diameter of 1.987.

First off I have to give Natalie so much credit for all the help in finding the idler hub for my 35 year old boat trailer. Unbelievable all the digging she had to do. As for the hub it was the exact one I needed. I now know where to go for trailer parts.

etrailer is the best. Hub and bearings worked great. A part was damaged in shipping and etrailer shipped a replacement right out. What are you waiting for? Get online or call etrailer TODAY!

I ordered hubs on labor day they were at my house that Thursday. Speedy shipment were on trailer Friday. Everything fit and was back to functioning.
by: Michael W.05/31/2019
Everything arrived in good order and condition. What has really impressed me with etrailer is the customer service. I received emails from real people answering my questions and keeping me up to date with my order status. I even got a phone call from the shipping person making sure they facilitated my order in the best way possible for me. Count me as being really impressed!!!! I will be ordering all of my trailering supplies from your company in the future. I wish more companies ran this way. Great experience!

- Replacement Parts For DICO 45263 Hub Assembly on a JetSki TrailerBased on previous information we have received I see the DICO 45263 uses the Grease Seal # 168255TB, inner/outer Bearing # L44649 and inner/outer Race # L44610. If you want a whole new assembly you would need the Hub # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K but you would have to get the Grease Seal # 168255TB for each hub as we do not carry the exact setup as a package at this time.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Idler Hub Assembly For Float On TrailerIt seems to be the right hub assembly, but you'll want to check your bearing numbers on your existing set up to make sure. If the inner bearing is # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) and the outer bearing is # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) then # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K is the correct kit!

Some hubs are designed for larger wheels because the diameter of the idler hub is larger. Some manufacturers label their hubs to only be used with certain wheel sizes. The AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K hub that fits 13-15" wheels is 6.25" compared to Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles part...
view full answer... - Trailer Axle Solution for Small Welding Trailer with Narrow WheelbaseThat's shorter than what we have standard axles for but we can help with a Timbren axle less system like part # ASR1200S02 and then with 5 lug hubs like # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K but if you need a standard axle you'd probably need to find a trailer shop near you who can order you in custom axles.
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... - How to Find Replacement Hubs for a Small Boat TrailerThe replacement hub assembly will depend on the size and weight rating of the axle. We have many options for hubs for 2,000 lb axles if it is that light of a trailer. This is the smallest axle size we offer replacement hubs for. I have provided the link to our website for 2,000 lb axles and a link for our other replacement hubs below. If you provide the bearing numbers, I can match them to a hub assembly that will fit your trailer.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs for 1997 FLOE Pro 100 Plus Snowmobile TrailerLuckily, FLOE International is still around. I was able to find that your 10 foot tilt single axle snowmobile trailer used an L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing. Your snowmobile trailer was equipped from the factory with idler hubs that had a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Due to its being exposed to harsh winter conditions and possibly road salt, going with a galvanized hub would be recommended versus a painted hub like the # 34822545BX you'd looked at. I'd go with part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K,...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Norther Tool Ultra-Tow Aluminum 5' x 8' Trailer Wearing Inside Edge Of TiresBased on the way the tires are rated, it sounds like the axle was over loaded, but I would imagine it has an axle rating of higher than 800lbs. Is there any chance your flipped the axle to get the axle underneath the springs to lift it, but did not weld on new spring seats? That is typically the only time we see this kind of wear, as axles have an arch in them which becomes straight when loaded, but if the axle is flipped and new spring seats are not welded on then the arch will be pointing...

In order to find the correct hubs 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 measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings ride,...

- Correct Idler Hubs for 2013 Triton LT Single Jet Ski TrailerThe 2013 Triton LT Single Jet Ski Trailer could use either L44643 (1") or L44649 (1.063") bearings so you'll need to pull the hubs apart to see which you need. If it's L44643 then go with the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-1K or if it's L44649 then go with the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K.

The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 8-258-5UC1-EZ you referenced is the correct replacement, but I understand needing the parts asap. The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K has all the same specifications, so it will work...

These are both galvanized idler hubs with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and utilize removable dust cap covers for use with easy grease spindles.

You can measure the axle spindle at the spot where the bearings are normally at. Use a caliper such as 4" Carbon Fiber Digital Caliper # PTW80157. You can also remove the bearings and find a part number; this will tell us the size of the bearings and hub that you will need.

We recommend using a digital caliper like part # PTW80157.

For example the hub # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K uses a # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) for both the inner and outer bearing. It also has the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This hub would use a 1.99" bearing buddy like the # BB1980A. We also have hubs like the # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-1K which use a # L44643 (1" inner diameter) inner and outer bearing. These are the only hubs we carry for a straight spindle.
