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 a 5 on 5 1/2 pregreased spindle hub. I was having trouble finding it in my local town. I found it on etrailer and the information that was on the web site confirmed that I had the correct hub ordered. It was delivered on the day that it was supposed to be

I order my trailer parts and 2 hours later got a email they were shipped! I received my parts the next day! I have never had service like this. Will recommend etrailer to all.
Thank you.

have not opened the box yet.
seems like a person would wait a few days to ask for a review.
just arrived yesterday afternoon.
by: Richard 12/20/2023
The hub assemblies arrived quickly in a neat and well-padded box. They were easy to install and fit perfectly. Excellent customer service as I had a few questions prior to placing the order. Price was great, too!
by: Dane07/10/2020
Hubs fit perfectly and the test run went very smooth. Giving this old jerry rigged cargo trailer found on my property an upgrade and so far it looks like these will get the job done.

Ordered four hubs with bearings for my utility trailer on Monday and received them on Wednesday afternoon. The price was very fair plus throw in free and fast shipping, we're off to a great start! The hubs and bearings fit perfectly thanks to etrailer's on line guide for determining proper fit. The hubs and bearings look to be of very good quality. If I had a nit to pick it would be that one of the four dust caps does not look the same as the other three, not really and issue as this is a work trailer. My entire experience with etrailer, at this point, is very positive. I will recommend them to friends and colleages.

Outstanding product. Its been a year since I installed the hubs and bearings. Ive had no problems what so ever and I use this trailer a lot. I expect to get many years of service from these bearings and hubs.

Everything was exactly what it was supposed to be and fitted perfectly Will definitely be keeping this company in my contacts

Extremely satisfied! Excellent customer service, delivery was right on time. The parts ordered were exactly as advertised and fit perfectly. Ordered two more hubs to overhaul my trailer axles. Highly recommend using this company for any trailer repairs.
by: Dan08/31/2016
Bearings and hub were delivered. There was a small out of stock delay, but still got them in a timely manner. Haven't had time to get all of them assembled, but so far everything is going together easily. It was nice being able to order as a package deal.

Excellent service from tech on what l needed to replace old axle and matching orginal hubs. Promised receiving date was on the money. Great prices compared to other stores. Would reccomend Etrailer to anyone searching for trailer parts.

Trailer axle hubs with bearings, every thing fit. Easy install even for good looking parts, nice courteous help from retailer staff thanks.
by: Mike 08/23/2018
etrailer was the only place I could find that had this trailer hub. Ordering was easy and shipping was fast. I will order from them again.
by: Scott 07/31/2020
Fits great! Make sure to buy Cotter pins in Castle nuts as well does not come in the kit. Awesome product.
by: Raymond02/06/2017
I received my order on time, the package was a little beat up from the weight of 4 hubs and 4 spindles. They maybe could of used a little better protection inside the box as they were a little rough when I opened them, but they will still work fine.
by: Robert 04/29/2020
Complete and ready to use. Great when bearings are trashed. Saves time over beating out old races and pressing in new at a price that makes it a good value for the customer over labor to rebuild hub.
by: Marlon12/19/2016
Would of liked to see a new nut an cotter pin, Other than that no complaints
by: buck05/08/2017
everything looks good ,have not put it together yet,but with previous experience with etrailer im sure it will go together fine.
by: Michael06/21/2018

- How To Choose the Correct Replacement Hubs for a Rinker Captiva TrailerIn order to choose the correct replacement hub for a trailer you'll have to know the axle capacity and bolt pattern. The axle capacity is best found on the axle tag which is in the center of the beam. The most common axle capacity is 3,500 lbs which typically use 5 bolt hubs. The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-555-35-K would be a fit if this is what you have. I have attached a list of all our other options below.
view full answer... - How to Order 3,500 lb Dexter Axle 35545I-EZ-89 with 5 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern Idler HubWhat we do offer that will give you the axle you mentioned with the bolt pattern you want is for you to order the axle part # T3584F-8974 and then use the idler hubs part # AKIHUB-555-35-K that fit this axle and have the 5 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you need.
view full answer... - Is There A Bearing Buddy That Will Replace A Tie Down Engineering 48399GA Turbo Lube Cap?From what I could find, the Tie Down Engineering 48399GA Turbo Lube cap you have will measure 2.33" at the threads. This is a pretty odd size and, unfortunately, there is not a Bearing Buddy kit currently available to fit this. The closest we have to this size will be the Bearing Buddy # BB2441T-SS (2.441" hub bore) or Bearing Buddy # BB2328 (2.328" hub bore), which is not threaded. The only way we can get a Bearing Buddy for you would be to replace the hubs with something that has a more...
view full answer... - Changing From 5 on 4 1/2 Bolt Pattern Hubs to 5 on 5 1/2 Bolt PatternThe Dexter # 8-91-05UC1-EZ uses the Bearings # L44649 for the inner and outer positions. This would mean they are limited to use on axles rated up to 2,200 pounds. If you wanted to upgrade the hub to a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern, like the etrailer.com Idler Hub # AKIHUB-555-35-K, you will most likely need to upgrade your axle. This would use the inner bearing # L68149 and the outer bearing # L44649 and are typically used on an axle with a 3,500 pound capacity. You can upgrade the axle a few...
view full answer... - Availability of Pre-Greased 3500 lb Idler Hub With 5 on 5 Wheel Bolt PatternWe do indeed offer an idler hub with a 5 on 5 inch wheel bolt pattern for a 3500 lb axle. The # AKIHUB-550-35-K uses the L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearing, you might want to check the reference numbers on your existing bearings to ensure that this replacement hub will be compatible with your spindles. The hub is pre greased, and includes the inner and outer bearing, the races, the grease seal, dust cover and 1/2 inch lug nuts. The bearings are pre-packed so all you'll need to do is...
view full answer... - Spindle and Wheel Recommendation to Fit with Trailer Rim AM20053The hub part # AKIHUB-555-35-K will fit with the trailer rim part # AM20053 that you referenced. The bolt patterns are the same. You will need an 84 spindle part # TRU74FR which is what the hub is designed to fit.
view full answer... - Recommended Timbren Axle Less System and Hub with 5 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern I have a solution for you but you'll need to use a different Timbren system. The item # TASR35HDS06 does not have a matching 5 on 5-1/2 lug pattern hub or hub and drum assembly. Instead you will want to use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System item # ASR3500S06. This system also has a 3,500 lbs capacity with a 4" lift instead of 2". This system will also save you some money. The item # ASR3500S06 4" lift will be great for an off-road trailer. For a compatible hub you will...
view full answer... - Idler Hub So That I Can Use 5x5.5 Bolt Pattern Jeep Wheels on My Off-Road TrailerThe lug studs on the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-555-35-K are 1/2" studs, which should match the studs used on your Jeep wheels. From what it sounds like, you're trying to replace the hubs on a trailer to use the wheels from a Jeep? While the studs may match up, the wheel offset is going to potentially cause a problem. You'll need to make sure you have enough space between the hub face and the frame to use the negative offset that vehicle wheels come with. You might be best served...
view full answer... - Recommended Idler Hub For Boat Trailer With 3,500-Lb AxleWe have just what you are looking for. I called my contact at TDE and asked about the hub you have on your boat trailer. They told me that it was a 5-stud idler hub for a 3,500-lb axle. I have attached a link to our product page for the 3,500-lb hubs we offer. The bolt pattern can be a bit different so you will want to determine which one you need. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to find the correct bolt pattern you need for your wheel. If you have a 5 on 4-1/2 pattern...
view full answer... - Replacement 1998 PJ Utility Trailer Hub with QRG 3G and 84000 Stamped Into HubAccording to all of the information you gave me, it does sound like the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # AKIHUB-555-35-K will be a fit for your trailer. I did have trouble looking up specifics for the part numbers you sent in though so I recommend doing a few things just to make sure it will work prior to purchasing. If you can verify that your axle is rated for 3,500 lbs then that means the hub will fit just fine. If you can't find a tag near the tongue of your trailer...

These items include both idler hubs like # AKIHUB-555-35-K for trailers without brakes and also hub/drums like # AKHD-555-35-K for trailers with drum brakes. All hubs include bearings, races, seals and lug nuts. As it happens, all of these 5-on-5-1/2 hubs use the same set of bearings, inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649. A new hub has to use the same bearings as the one it replaces in...

- Outer Diameter of Races Included with Trailer Hub # AKIHUB-555-35-KThe races included with the hub # AKIHUB-555-35-K are # L44610 which has an outer diameter of 1.980 inches and # L68111 which has an outer diameter of 2.361 inches.
view full answer... - How to Identify Compatible Hubs to Allow New Wheel Bolt PatternIn order for any new hub to work properly on an existing axle/spindle it must use the same inner and outer bearing parts. This is what ensures a proper fit on the spindles since the bearings' inner diameters will match the spindle diameter. Matching the bearings also helps ensure the new hubs' weight capacity matches that of the axle. Please refer to the linked diagram that shows the typical placement of bearing part numbers. If the bearing part numbers cannot be found you can measure...

- Recommendation For Replacement Hubs For 4 x 7 Utility Trailer With 5 on 5-1/2 Bolt PatternBased on the information you sent me, it looks like you have a 3,500-lb trailer axle with 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern which often have inner bearings like Item # L68149 and outer bearings like Item # L44649. For your 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern, I recommend Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, Item # AKIHUB-555-35-K. This assembly comes with bearings, races, seals, grease cap, and lug nuts.

- Is Lateral Movement Of The Hub NormalThe 1/8" of lateral movement on the hub does not seem right. It sounds like it is possible the bearings in the hub may not be the correct size for your spindle. The best solution is to double check the bearings and measure the spindle with calipers like # PTW80157 to ensure you have the correct diameter bearings in the hub for your trailer. I have attached a helpful diagram. You also want to make sure the castle nut is snug. I have attached a video that shows the proper way to tighten...

- Replacement Hub for 2500 lb Trailer Axle with 5 on 5.5 inch Bolt PatternAre you sure it's a 2,500 axle and not a 3,500? The 2500 isn't a standard one so we'd need to get bearing numbers/spindle dimensions to identify it.

You need to match up the bearings, wheel bolt pattern and the weight capacity. Your axle's rating should be noted on a sticker or plate right on the axle beam. You also want to ensure the new hub will work with your wheel size. The part you referenced has your 5-on-5-1/2 lug pattern but will not work with wheels smaller than 14-inches.

- Hub Replacement for Old Trailer with 5 on 5-1/2 Inch Wheel Bolt PatternAll of our hubs with the 5 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern use the same bearing combination. If you measure your spindle or inner diameter of your bearing and find it to be 1.063" for the outer bearing inner diameter and the other bearing at 1.378' for the inner diameter then you'll be good to go. If not, we don't have a compatible option for your spindle and the best solution will be replacing your axle or just the spindle with # TRU74FR. If you have the spindle measurements listed above,...

If you are unsure of the axle capacity you can check the axle for a sticker that would have that info, you can check the VIN plate for that info, or you could measure the diameter of the axle.

Be sure to have an experienced welder perform the installation as you want the spindle in the correct orientation so your tire doesn't wear funny.

What you can use instead is a more common #84 spindle, which does have a hub with a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern available: - #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # TRU24FR - Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-555-35-K This will give you...
