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"

Hubs and bearings seem to be of good quality. Made in china, but everything is now. Perfect fit. Very satisfied. Fast delivery.

Hubs look good and hopefully won't rust like the last ones, although the lugs and nuts are still mild steel.

Everything works great!



by:

Everything went together great, and survived the Freshman year College Bass Fishing, over 5k miles.
I didn't use the provided seals & caps, I used Bearing Buddy.



by:

These Glavanized Idler hubs are a great product. Making the hubs galvanized is a nice feature that adds corrosion protection. I purchased them to replace the hubs on a older boat trailer that had multiple broken studs and damaged bearings. These etrailer hubs come with a new set of bearings (races pre-installed), seals, lug nuts and dust caps. Note: I am using bearing buddies instead of the stock dust caps. I like that this assembly does not have pre-greased bearings because I prefer to choose the brand of marine wheel bearing grease used. I am very pleased with the quality of the hub assembly.



by:

Easy hub identification for my trailer 2500 lbs, once you identify inner and outer bearing, just click on the bearing needed and the hubs will sort out for you from painted to galvanized, I had about 12 to choose from, so I chose the etrailer blue dot galvanized that were in the middle of the price range, comes with everything needed except washer and stainless steel cotter pin which I reused off of my hubs, these are not pre greased which enables me to choose a grease of my choice such as water displacing, easy installation, bearing buddies were also added to the project that went well with these hubs.



by:

The eTrailer team was once again amazing! Went into Will Call to try and replace some hub studs. They turned out to be a size no longer made. Lisa at etrailer took the time to help me find the perfect replacement idler hub for my boat trailer. Had it shipped to my house overnight. Found the installation video on the etrailer web site for this exact hub and within 30 minutes I had the old hub off and this new hub installed. This hub fit perfectly! Put this on an old Heritage Boat trailer replacing a Hayes hub (H-1377).

Once this was changed out I was immediately able to put my boat on the trailer and haul it down the road. I will be replacing the other idler hub and rear breaking hubs next so I don't have to deal with that same hub stud challenge.



by:

Received items earlier than expected , everything fit perfectly so now I will order 4 more . Two to finish other side of trailer and the other two as spares , you can never be too safe ! The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that I had to run to auto zone for cotter pins , I know it doesn’t say it comes with cotter pins but I think they should ! I may update my review later when I get some miles on these nice hubs !



by:

Great products and fast service. Every time I order service great.

Hubs are great no problems at all.



by:

Ordered this hub to replace one on my boat trailer. The page you have is very good as it helps you to pick the right parts. All I had to do was match the inner bearing and the outer bearing and bolt pattern. Perfect fit. I highly recommend e trailer and I'm sure I will use you again.



by:

The new hubs and bearings were easy to install and they have worked great. Thanks to etrailer I can safely tow my boat to the bay and enjoy time on the water again!



by:

Good product at an affordable price: My customer service rep, Jamie, was friendly and extreamly helpful



by:

This company sold me the hubs, claiming to have them to me in three days. I needed the hubs badly and quickly. They did not show up, and research indicated they were not going to show up for another week. I traveled 150 miles (300 round trip), bought the same hubs from a store. I put these hubs in the trash.



by:

another successful project completed !!

PB
blaster and Lubrimatic bearing marine lube (550 deg dropping point), highest on the market



by:

Complete waste of time and money. I bought both springs, and this set of u-bolts plates from etrailer for a new 2" square axle. The u-bolts are too short. I'd suggest someone buy a new tape measure.
I also had to grind down the spring center bolt as it stuck out of the small adapter plate and kept the spring from seating correctly (used the adapter palte which came with the springs instead of drilling a big hole in my brand new axle.)

It is getting harder and harder to get the parts I need from these folks.

Now waiting for parts to come from another vendor.



by:

Great service, part was delivered earlier then expected and fit great! Would make more purchases in the future



by:

IT WAS A PERFECT FIT WITH NO DRIVEABILITY ISSUES.



by:

Quick shipping, excellent packaging, hubs bering kit fit perfect n my axles



by:

Supply Chain Stinks! But Shawnee E with etrailer came through with options!



by:

Easy install on to my double axel EZ-Loader boat trailer. I replaced the factory oil bath hubs and brake drum units with these and a disc brake kit. I opted for Bearing Buddy's in lieu of the bearing end caps that came with this kit. My boat & trailer sees a lot of salt water/Puget Sound. It all works really good!



by:

If you are replacing the hubs on your saltwater trailer these will fill the bill. Each comes pre-greased for quick installation with lug nuts, cotter pin and grease cap, everything needed to install. They are of highest quality and galvanized for many seasons of use.



by:

Thank you for your prompt service



by:

A bit pricey especially when shipping cost more than the item. Items could’ve shipped flat rate box. Item it’s self is great.



by:

Very pleased with my first order from etrailer. I needed tech help in choosing the correct hub assembly. Hold time was frustratingly long (20 min.) on weekdays, but on Saturday morning I got through in five minutes. "Steve" was very knowledgable and helpful and steered me quickly to the correct parts. They shipped same day and arrived quickly and in good shape. Easy installation too.



by:

Rebuilt boat trailer and replace old hubs with these. Used boat this summer, lake is about 20 miles from home. Trailer pulls and tracks fine! Very satisfied!



by:

Bought 2 hubs to keep as spares for a a long tow. Fantastic deal for a hub complete with bearings,seal,lug nuts,and dust cap.
Etrailer.com is my first source for everything.

  • Replacement Idler Hub Recommendation for a 1997 Four Winns Trailer
    Since you have a boat trailer you're going to want to use a galvanized idler hub assembly like part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K which is for a standard spindle or part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K which is the same thing just with a dust cap for an EZ Lube spindle. To confirm that this will fit your boat trailer you're going to want to pull a hub and check your bearing and seal numbers. These hubs have an # L68149 inner bearing, an # L44649 bearing, and a # 58846 grease seal which has a 1.719" inner...

  • Availability Of Trailer Hub With .75" Outer And 1.25" Inner Bearings

This is a 5 on 4-1/2" idler hub for a 2,500 lb axle. Bearings, seals, races, grease cap and lug nuts are all included. We also have a few sizes of wheels that will go with this; 15" wheel - # AM20422 14" wheel - # AM20365 13" wheel - # AM20253 12" wheel - # AM20132 We can also provide tires for any size trailer wheel...

  • Replacement For 11033L Idler Hub and Spindle Ranger Boat Trailer

For an idler hub, I'd recommend the galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K. The hub includes the bearings, races, grease seal, dust cover and lug nuts. These are grease hubs. The spindle you need will depend on the diameter of the axle tube, which I have no way of looking up, but if you use the provided link, you...

    It is certainly possible to switch from hubs/drums to idler hubs on a trailer axle. For a boat trailer with 3,500 lb axle(s), the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K or part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K for EZ-Lube would be just what you need.

  • Correct Replacement Hubs for Bass Tracker Tournament V-17
    In order to find the correct replacement idler hubs for a trailer you'll need to know the axle capacity. I do show that the Bass Tracker Tournament V-17s use a 3,500 lb axle. You'll want to verify this by looking for the axle capacity on the tag but so long as its 3,500 lbs you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K. In order to find the correct replacement leaf springs you'll need to measure what you have now while unloaded.

For this you would be able to use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K; we do not have any assemblies that come with an oil bath but you can convert this hub to an oil bath with the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE1980KIT.

  • Correct Replacement Idler Hubs for Champion Boat Trailer

There are no bearings or seals with the exact dimensions you listed so the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K is likely what you need as all the dimensions are very close. The correct Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors would then be part # BB1980A-SS.
