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"

works great from what i hear. as anything you take care of it and it will do the job and take care of you.

Quick two day delivery! Good quality part (made in China) and an easy, cost effective way to replace damaged or worn out bearings and races. Just add grease and press in the seal! Just completed a 500+ mile trip with trailer and street bike in tow and had no issues.

These worked just fine while on the trailer and still look new when I replaced them recently with a set of drum brakes.

Amazing service.A+++++++++

Great product. Well made and easy to install. I will add that there was a delay in the shipping process that was not the fault of etrailer, however I called customer service and Candra G. did an amazing job of locating my shipment and expediting it’s delivery to get me on the road for a trip. Overall great product and amazing support!

Everything came as ordered, great shipping time and good products!

I gave you an above average because the boxes, even though they were in a bigger box arrived beat to hell. All the parts seem to be there.



by:

Great quality, easy install, prompt shi pping



by:

Good service, good product, good price. Satisfied.



by:

Exactly as pictured. I can't comment on fitment as I did not buy it to use at this time but rather as a spare to have with me on a long trip. I opened it and checked everything and it appears well made. The only reason for four stars and not five is the bearings are not pre-loaded with grease but rather shipped dry. This is not a big deal as I always have the grease gun with me but I would have preferred them to have had grease in them and sealed for rust protection but I'll just grease them and put them in a zip lock bag, I''ll also put a little grease inside the Hub for rust protection.

They are kind of like a spare tire, you dont use it or need it until you do. Mine is packed and sealed up ready for the roadside fix I hope never comes.

  • Parts Needed To Switch a 3,500LB Axle To 5 on 5" Idler Hubs on 5X8 Utility Trailer
    You only need 2 of the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K to change your current 5 on 4-1/2" hub to a 5 on 5" hub on your 5x8 P&T trailer. You will need 2 of these as they are sold individually and will come with new bearings pre-filled with grease.

  • Replacement Trailer Hubs with Bearings L68149 and L44649 that is Pre-Greased
    For the correct hub/drum you'd want the part # AKHD-550-35-K which comes with the bearings you said you needed as well is pre-greased. If you were wanting an idler hub instead you'd want the part # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K.

  • Idler Hub To Replace Drum Brakes On Tandem Axle Trailer With 3,500LB Axles
    First you will need to check with the local laws where you plan on using the trailer as some areas require both axles on a tandem trailer to have brakes. If you can operate with brakes only on one axle then you can switch to an idler hub assembly but be sure to match your correct bolt pattern. 5 On 4-1/2" # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K 5 On 4-3/4" # AKIHUB-5475-35-EZ-K 5 On 5" # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K 5 On 5-1/2" # AKIHUB-555-35-EZ-K 6 On 5-1/2" # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K

    The 3500 lb Timbren Axle-Less suspension kit # ASR3500S05 would be a good choice. The spindles provided with the # ASR3500S05 would indeed be compatible with the bearing set provided with the # AKIHUB-550-35-K idler hub, but since the Timbren Axle-Less suspension you've chosen features E-Z lube spindles, you'd want to go with # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K which provides the E-Z lube compatible dust caps with removable plugs so you can easily access the grease zerk without needing to remove the entire...

  • Replacement Hubs and U-Bolt Kit for 3,500 Pound Lippert Axle # LC35212150
    From my research your axle is a 3,500 pound, 2-3/8 inch diameter axle and since you have a 5 on 5 bolt pattern you likely have bearings # L44649 and # L68149. You'll want to verify this is correct with your current bearings. If this is the case for a hub and drum assembly I recommend # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K which is for E-Z Lube axles with a zerk fitting. If you have standard axles use # AKHD-550-35-K instead. If you only need idler hubs use # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K with E-Z Lube axles and #...

  • Recommended Replacement 3,500 lb Axle for Carson Trailer with 88" Hub-Face and 74" Spring-Center
    We do have a replacement 3,500 lb axle for your Carlson trailer as well as hubs that fit your description. The axles that we carry have an 89" hub-face and 74" spring-center measurements so since the hub-face dimensions are only 1" off of what you measured these will work well for your application. I'm pretty sure that your axle has the 89" hub-face measurement as that is extremely common (and measuring the hub-face is a little difficult) but even if our axle hub-face is 1" wider there...

  • Is There 3,500 lb Trailer Axle With 89 Inch Hub Face Length & 5 on 5" Hub
    Hello 89 5, We do have a 3,500 lb axle with 89 inch hub face to hub face and 74 inch spring center to spring center that will work with a hub that has a 5 on 5" bolt pattern, but the hub just needs to be purchased separately as they don't come in a single package. You can choose from either a hub and drum or idler hub and here's what you'll need: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # T3584F-EZ-8974 - Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K OR -...

    If you want to convert to a 5 on 5 bolt pattern the only option is for 3,500 lb axles. Assuming you have # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings you could use # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K for an idler hub or # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K for a hub and drum assembly. If not, you would be looking at replacement axles which would require measuring the hub face to hub face length. You will also need to know the capacity.

Both these are our most price conscious wheels and have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you are needing.

    There are two options to replace the axle on a military trailer, you can have a custom axle made or you can go with an axle-less kit.
