E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-Compatible Assembly 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.


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"

Purchased for a spare hub assembly to carry in vehicle for possible bearing or seal failure during fishing trips. Much easier to get back on road versus seal and bearings replacement on road.



by:

etrailer is a great place, and has excellent sales people who are knowledgeable and patient with folks who don't know quite what they need. Highly recommended.



by:

Very knowledgeable pleasure to work with

Used an axle conversion kit to ‘flip’ the axle on my ‘08 Forrest River pop up and give it a lift. Put on the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub for 2K Axles - 13" to 15" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased from etrailer, then switched the 12” stock tires to Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" Silver Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C to lift it a little more while also putting a sturdier tire on. Works great!



by:

Though supply chain issues slowed down my original order, etrailer found a suitable substitute, and even saved me some money in the process. I don’t do a lot of work on trailers, but when I do, I know where I’ll be getting my parts.



by:

Product was a great fit, easy to install if you know what you are doing. Took only 10 minutes to repack bearings and assemble.

Very pleased with the service and help I received making sure I ordered the correct hub it was very easy to install.

We recently sent you a new hub assembly and were wondering if you had any feedback about the product for other shoppers?



by:

The hubs arrived in a timely manner and were well packaged. Etrailer was great when I contacted them with installation questions. Hubs have been installed for about a year and are working perfectly.



by:

Received parts yesterday and everything arrived in excellent condition. Without etrailer's helpful guides it would have taken a lot longer to identify the correct Hub's and bearing's that I needed for my jet ski trailer. I always go to etrailer for my trailer needs!!!! I have a jet ski trailer, boat trailer, and 36.5 foot 5th wheel camper. So I'm always needing parts!!!



by:

We pack the bearings in these hubs and carry them along for spare, ready to install on the trailer if bearing goes bad while on the road. We use these trailers for trips from northern Indiana to south florida, than to Iowa. Then back to Indiana. So its a lot faster to just change the whole hub when you have trouble.



by:

Good product, good price. Jenny B was very helpful and knowledgeable, to ensure I received the correct part. Just what I needed for my enclosed motorcycle trailer.



by:

Excellent kit. Simply take off old hub and slide the new hub on. Comes pre-packed with what appears to be Lubrimax (green) marine grease.

Perfect fit made for an easy installati on



by:

Great price, good quality. This is the same hube as AKIHUB-545-2-2k, but NOT pre-assembled and pre-greased. Perfect if you want to do this work yourself or need to do work on the hubs prior to usage.

  • Replacing Hubs On a 4' X 6' Carry On Trailer From 4 on 4" Lugs to 5 on 4-1/2" Lug Pattern 15" Wheels
    Your current axle on your 4' X 6' Carry on Trailer will likely have either a BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR or BTR Spindle # TRU44FR. You can determine the spindle by removing your current hub and inspecting the bearings or by measuring the spindle itself. I have included a image that shows the locations of the bearing numbers and grease seals on your current hub as well as the measurement points for spindle as well. The BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR uses Bearings # L44643 which have an inner diameter...

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Trailer Hub
    I can help you determine the correct replacement hubs, though there are a few things you'll need to know in order to get the right one. First, you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. 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 and...

  • Replacement Axle With 72 Inch Hub Face to Hub Face Measurement
    We do have a 72 inch hub face to hub face axle, but not one with a 69 inch spring seat to spring seat measurement. That said, what you can do is use the 72 inch axle and have new spring seats welded on where needed. There are two axles with a 72 inch hub face to hub face measurement, one with a 2,000 lb capacity and the other with a 2,200 lb capacity so be sure to get the one with the capacity you need: - 2,000 lbs: Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e78GR - 2,200 lbs:...

  • Replacement Spindle and Hubs For 58000 Aluminum Hub On 1" Short Spindle
    You are going to need to replace your spindle with the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU44FR as your spindle that fits the 58000 hub is shorter than current spindles. This new spindle will place the grease fitting on the end of the spindle allowing you to grease the bearings through the spindle. We have a few hubs for you to choose from based on your wheels and tires. 5 On 4-1/2" Idler Hub For 13"-15" Wheels # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K 5 On 4-1/2" Idler Hub For 10"-12" Wheels # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K 4...

  • What would be the Best Option for an Axle to Install on a Small Trailer Frame
    I have a solution for you. However, with the 41 inch frame width, finding a one piece straight axle to fit this measurement will be difficult. I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, # ASR400S02. The Timbren axle-less system will mount to the frame of your trailer and will give you additional clearance under the center of your trailer. This system will replace the need for the leaf spring suspension. The Timbren system uses Aeon rubber springs that are will provide...

  • Recommended Trailer Hub and Spindle for Compatibility with Wheels
    Unfortunately you do have an odd size spindle. My recommendation is to replace the spindle with the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 1-1/4" Diameter # TRU44FR and then use hubs like the following options based on your bolt pattern: -Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 4 on 4 - L44649 Bearings - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K -Trailer Idler Hub for 2K E-Z Lube Axles - 13" to 15" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K This will...

    You can absolutely use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K on your trailer with a standard axle/spindle. All the components are exactly the same. The only difference is the grease cap that comes with the EZ-Lube hub, # DC200L-DCRP, has a removable rubber plug, designed for easy access to the grease fitting on an EZ-Lube Spindle. Since your spindle does not have a grease fitting on the end, you would just leave the plug on the cap and use it...

  • Upgrading Tire Size on a Harbor Freight Trailer
    I do have a solution for you, but we do not recommend using vehicle tires on a trailer. Trailer tires are built with stronger sidewalls to help resist the load that is put on them, while vehicle tires are made for a more smooth ride. Also, we do not carry spacers that are intended to make your tire and wheel stick out so that it can clear your trailer frame. To find out if you can upgrade your tires and wheels with your current setup, you can take the outer diameter and section width of...

    I have a different option for you, but the CE Smith Trailer Hub # CE13511 you were looking at uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649 so it will not fit your axle that uses inner and outer bearing # L44649.

    I have a way to help you find out what replacement hub assembly you need, but you'll need to verify some things on your end as I don't have a list of replacement parts for your trailer available. Since your 1992 Ranger Trail is a tandem axle trailer rated for 4,800 lbs this indicates that you have 2 axles rated at 2,000 lbs.

I've attached a link to some helpful articles to help you verify your bolt pattern. Once you know the bolt pattern you'll also need to make sure you have the correct size hub.

This axle is the Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 60" Long - 2,000 lbs # e48GR.

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.
