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"

I ordered 5 x 5.5 hubs for my boat trailer. When they arrived, they were 5x5 so I returned them in person so I could exchange them but found out they would need to be shipped. I received the second set and they were also 5x5. Each time the boxes they came in were marked 5 x 5.5, so they didn't match what the labels on the boxes said. I was told I would receive a return shipping label via email but I haven't received that yet. Someone needs to work on quality control in the shipping department. If the next set is not correct, I will be doing business with someone else.

Replacing the hub on my trailer was easy using the etrailer.com website. They have a page to find which lug pattern your old hub has.The kit includes the bearings, seals, races already installed, washer , carter key and endcap.All I had to do was grease the bearings, pop the seal on and install the hub.I also replaced the bearings on the other hub using the bearing kit which has all the parts you need.

Burned out the bearings on a home-built trailer with this oddball spindle size.
Product was exactly as specified, delivery was quick. The product was not available locally, and I thought I was going to be down for a week or more waiting for the kit, but it was here in a couple of days. The price was also significantly less than ordering it in at a local trailer supply outlet. It's wonderful to be pleasantly surprised.

etrailer's website, product availability/information and customer service is literally unmatched on all accounts. I'm a regular customer for these reasons. The Q&A section on the website couldn't be more helpful. Product descriptions are very detail oriented. 12 out of 10 consistently.

Product was exactly as described and of good quality. Will certainly use etrailer again for my trailer needs

The hub arrived as expected and looks great. I have been waiting on one of your tech guys to give me dimensions so I could complete my drafting using your hub. He never has gotten back, so I just ordered it and have already measured it and am back drawing.

- Recommended Hub for Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension With 5 on 5-1/2 Bolt PatternFor a hub that fits the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Wide Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS03 with a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern I recommend the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-555-35-EZ-K. This idler hub will fit a 15" wheel like the one you have and has a weight capacity of 1,750 lbs. Keep in mind, you will still be limited by the 2,000 lb capacity of the Timbren system. If you aren't 100% sure about your bolt pattern I recommend measuring...
view full answer... - How to Determine Which Replacement Hub for Homemade Boat TrailerFor a replacement hub, you'll want to match the inner and outer wheel bearing numbers of the existing hub to those of the replacement. You'll also want to choose a hub with a grease seal that's compatible with your spindles, and if you're wanting to reuse the same wheels and tires, you'll also want to choose a wheel with a matching bolt pattern. For tires, you'll want to choose tires whose combined weight capacity exceed the weight of the boat and trailer. I'll link to an article that...

- Determining Correct Axle To Replace Older Axle W/ Obsolete LM11949 and LM67048 Bearing CombinationI may have a replacement axle option for you, but the # LM11949 and # LM67048 bearing combination your spindle has is not one that has been used for quite a while and there are currently no replacement hubs available that work with that combination. You may be able to find a used hub on a resell website. Your best bet would be replacing the entire axle with one that uses a more common bearing combination to make finding replacement parts now and in the future much easier. To determine...

- How to Determine Replacement 5 on 5-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern Hubs 2004 Yacht Club PLC TrailerThe elements that would need to match up are the inner and outer bearing reference number, the capacity and the bolt pattern. The 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern idler hubs we offer use a L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearing. Your existing bearings should have the bearing reference numbers stamped on the bearing cages. If not, measure the surfaces on the spindle where the inner and outer bearings ride. The spindle at the inner should be about 1.378 inches in diameter and 1.063 at the outer....

- Recommended 5 on 5 1/2" Hub Assembly For Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension SystemThat sounds like an awesome project! The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S06 you were looking at can use idler hub's or hub and drum assemblies with 5 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern. If you are planning on adding trailer brakes you will need Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # 84557UC3 which includes the correct # L68149 Inner Bearing, # L44649 Outer Bearing, # 58846 Grease Seal, and races.

Each one includes one hub with the pre-greased bearings installed with a grease seal. If you are needing the hub and drums I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA if your trailer will use electric brakes. Or the Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit # AKFBBRK-35 for use with surge brakes. For the spindle the closest we have to...
view full answer... - Idler Hub To Replace Drum Brakes On Tandem Axle Trailer With 3,500LB AxlesFirst 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
view full answer... - Recommended Axle-Less System For 2000-Lb Off-Road TrailerSince the trailer you are building is 2,000-lbs or less the axle-less system I recommend is part # ASR2KHDS09. This is the Timbren system with a 4-inch drop and it is designed for off-road tires. It has a weight capacity of 2,000-lbs and has EZ Lube spindles that make it easy to grease the bearings without having to remove the hubs. This system has a 4-bolt brake flange. If you do not plan on adding brakes I recommend part # AKIHUB-555-35-EZ-K idler hubs. This hub has a 5 on 4-1/2 wheel...

However, you won't need both the Hub and Drum Assembly and the Idler Hub. You need one or the other. If you're adding brakes to the trailer you'll need the hub and drum.

- Replacement Trailer Axle For Dexter #9 Torflex 2,200LB Torsion AxleAs we do not carry any torsion type axles I recommend installing the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR1THDS01. This axle-less suspension will provide you with better ground clearance as well as stronger components. The Aeon progressive rate springs work better to absorb road shock and provide a better ride quality. The springs are rated for 2,200lbs like your current Dexter Axle #9 Torflex D2762739 but the spindles used are rated for a 3,500lbs axle giving you a stronger...

You would need to replace your spindle to upgrade your system. You will need to consult a qualified trailer fabricator to have the old spindles removed and new spindles welded on. We carry the parts that would be needed. For the spindle, I recommend the EZ Lube Spindle # TRU74FR. This will have the built in grease zerk for easy maintenance. For the...

These new spindles are the size commonly used on 3,500lb axles. It will allow you to use one of the idler hubs below depending on what bolt pattern your wheels are. 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

These can be used in tandem applications and will replace the leaf spring suspension on your trailer as well. You can add trailer brakes to these assemblies if you desire as they do have the...

Using # ASR1THDS03, you can then use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 5 # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K or the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly...
