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"

Install was easy, I just wish it came with a cotter pin. I had to run to HomeDepot.
by: Jon 10/05/2023
These hubs worked great. I had to add the spindle nut washers to get good engagement between the spindle nut and cotter pin. I would definitely buy these again.
by: Charles09/16/2022
There was a problem with the initial order I received and it was promptly handled by the polite and helpful customer assistant. These parts worked great for a single bike takedown trailer.
by: Steven06/11/2022
Hubs not made by dexter and not made in US. No reason to pay extra for these over other Chinese hubs. Would have returned but etrailer was slow to ship and I was leaving for a trip and couldn't wait.
by: Dale11/13/2020
The hub was very easy to install. The only problem I had was installing the wheel bearing hubs. It took many tries to get them on.
by: Ed07/25/2023
Made 4 800 mile trips to date with absolutely no problems. I would buy them again
by: Richard11/28/2022
Ordered two hubs, only one arrived. Second tracking number says it was never picked up. Now I have to wait 8 days for an investigation before I can get a replacement part. Upgraded the shipping so I could receive and work on trailer during the holiday break. No blame, just stating what happened.

I wanted to change from four lug wheels and tires to five lug type on my boat trailer. Towed trailer,loaded with fishing gear,fuel tanks, extra motor. and batteries from central Pennsylvania to Fort Peck, Montana and back. The trip was uneventful. Other than the fishing....it was GREAT!
Your new hubs made my trip successful.
by: Gary06/15/2015
I have ordered from e-trailer twice. Both times they provide excellent service! Parts arrived amazingly fast!! One order had a damaged part, I called and got a very nice sales rep. Parts were replaced FREE. I will deffinatly order from them again. I ordered hubs, wheel and tires, and light kit for my boat trailer. All parts are good Quality.
by: Chad 04/04/2020
these are great hubs. my trailer had tiny 4 bolt hubs and wheels and these fit perfect on the 1" spindles and allowed me to run a much taller tire. even comes pregreased with plenty of grease
by: Juan M10/10/2013
The hub I ordered for my trailer worked perfectly!!!!!! The customer service is unreal, from fast shipping to constant checks(personal emails) to see if item had arrvied on time, truly a professional company that puts their customers above all. I never write reviews put this company definetly earned it, Thanks and I will be back!!!
by: Chris K.05/16/2014
Hubs went on without any trouble. Only tricky part was to get the caps seated into the hub to trap the grease. Haven't used the trailer yet, but don't anticipate any problems. Shipping was awesome. I ordered with standard shipping and the box was on my porch the next afternoon.

Fit perfectly

Put on trailer brand new again hubs bearings all good fast shipping will deal with you again thanks
by: Wayne06/07/2020
I initially ordered a pair of hubs from another online retailer That I has used prior and whom had mine "in stock". They didn't. After 5 days of no shipping info, they notified me they were back ordered. I cancelled the order.
I ordered a pair of these hubs from etrailer.com on 6/2, George notified me on 6/3 that they shipped and I received them on 6/6. That's customer service.
Price, availability and delivery. Every online retailer should strive for this level of attention..
by: Bob Hoffman06/13/2014
Not only is the product exactly what we needed (the dust caps are a little on the lightweight side) but Matthew was extremely helpful in getting me the parts I needed to fix my trailer!
by: Lennie A,08/23/2022
Good product fair price. Packaged well. No missing parts.
by: David S04/16/2021
I am just starting on a restoration of a 40 plus year old motorcycle sidecar and the hub and wheel that I ordered are perfect for this project. I will try to send pictures on completion, probably a few months out.
by: Pat06/05/2021
Perfect fit. Bad old trailer bearings? Buy the complete hub!
by: Nate05/27/2015
fit perfect,
great website I easily found what I needed,
seems well made,
the outside dust cover was hard to install (I had to fiddle with it)
by: Robert 07/03/2022
Product as great and eTrailer was prompt with the delivery.

Shipping was fast and install was easy...your measurement guide was very helpful to figure out my spindle size and lug stud spacing for my wheel. Thanks

- How To Measure For Replacement Bearing Kit on 2013 Triton LT PWC TrailerI did some research on the Triton website but was not able to find the particular bearing kit that you need for your trailer. I recommend pull the hub and check the numbers on the bearings. If you let me know the numbers on the bearings I can recommend a bearing kit for you. If you are not able to pull the hub you can also measure the spindle with a digital caliper like part # PTW80157. I have attached a photo of the spots on the spindle to measure to get the correct bearings. If you...

- Troubleshooting Trailer Hub that Gets WarmsIf the bearings are good and the hub is greased properly that basically limits the issue to the brakes. How much drag can you feel as you turn the wheel by hand with the trailer jacked up in the air? It should feel like a light drag and turn easily. Do all hubs get warm or just the one? To see how to manually adjust trailer brake assemblies check out the video I attached, fast-forward to the 4:35 mark of the video. Basically you will adjust the brakes out so that there is a slight but...
view full answer... - Hubs and Wheel Bearings Keep Working Loose Causing Play in the WheelsIt sounds like the problem you are having is related to one of the possibilities you have mentioned. It is nearly impossible to press a race in straight at home unless you have the proper equipment and have done it before. Taking the drums to a brake shop might be the best option to make sure the races are seated properly. If they are seated properly then it is possible that the hub bore could be off causing the races to get out of position. The solution would be to replace the drums. If...
view full answer... - Replacement Galvanized Hub for a 2000 Floe Pro 1 Plus Single Axle Snowmobile Trailer I did some research and your 2000 Floe Pro 1 Plus single axle snowmobile trailer uses a L44649 inner and outer bearing. Seeing as how these hubs are going on a snowmobile trailer and will be exposed to road salt and quite a bit of moisture I highly recommend going with the galvanized hub. You're going to want the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized item # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K. These include the Dexter E-Z Lube and etrailer Easy Grease-compatible...
view full answer... - Difference Between Hubs Designed For 8-10 Wheels and Hubs Designed For 13-15 WheelsThe difference between a hub that fits a 8-10" wheel like part # 34822545BX and 13-15" wheels like part # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K is normally the hub diameter but that is not always the case. 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. The AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K hub that fits 13-15" wheels is 6.25" compared to Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles part...

I recommend using a digital caliper like item # PTW80157. You will want to measure the spindle and/or bearing inner dimensions to find the exact size. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 item # 34822545BX will work on your trailer if you trailer uses a inner bearing: L44643 (1" inner diameter) and an...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Boat Trailer Rim Getting HotMore than likely your tire blow out was due to the age along with the current heat here in the summer. I'm not sure how old they were exactly but a tire typically lasts 3-6 years. A tire blowout typically comes from excessive heat from underinflation, overloading, exceeding the speed rating, or flat spots/sidewall rubbing. Considering the fact that you took the trailer to a shop for replacement parts, and also had them double check once you noticed the heat, I would say you have nothing...
view full answer... - What Size Hub will Work with the 215/60-8 Trailer Tire with 8 Inch Galvanized Wheel Load Range DThe proper size hub for the 215/60-8 bias trailer tire and wheel, # AM3H325, is going to depend on the weight capacity of the trailer you are designing. This wheel and tire combination is capable of 1,165 lbs at 70 psi, so each axle in your design would need to be rated for 2,330 lbs or less. Most likely if this is the proper capacity for your design you will be using a 2,000 lb axle and the Trailer Hub Assembly, # 34822545BX, would be the proper choice if the spindle on the axle you...

These replacements contain Aeon rubber suspension and have EZ Lube spindles for easy maintenance. They do require a 2 inch square tube (not included) to join the assemblies utilizing the integrated holes. This would be a great upgrade for you. If you just want to replace the hubs, it...
view full answer... - Replacing a Hub on a #84 SpindleBeing off as little as it is, the hub may just be getting caught on something. Remove the hub from the spindle to make sure there is nothing that could be catching the inner bearing. Next, install just the inner bearing # L68149 making sure it gets all the way to the correct location on the spindle, which should measure 1.378 inches. Once that is in place, slide the hub on making sure it seats completely on the rear bearing and holding it in place. Then slide the outer bearing # L44649...
view full answer... - Will the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,500 Lb Axles Fit a Triton Snowmobile TrailerThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # TA88545-2 uses two L44649 bearings which measure 1.063" inner diameter. It's common on 2,500 lb axles so if this is what you have it will work. The other common bearing for this size trailer is a L44643 which measures 1" inner diameter and in which case you'd use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 34822545BX. I have attached a help article to look over with bearing measuring help.
view full answer... - Which 5 Bolt Hub Assembly is Recommended for Use with the Redline Spindle # TRU94FROn the TruRyde Spindle, part # TRU94FR, the hub assembly you would need is an idler hub assembly. An idler hub assembly does not have an integrated brake drum. It will also depend on what size wheel and tire you will be using. If you need an idler hub assembly with a 5 bolt pattern you can use the Dexter hub # 34822545BX. This is a idler hub assembly with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that will work on 2000lb axles. It will only work with 8 inch to 10 inch wheels. If you need an idler...
view full answer... - Hub Recommendation for Spindle that is 1 inch in Diameter and has 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern What you listed is compatible with a BT8 2,000 lb axle. That means that the part # 34822545BX would be what you need.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Assembly that Is Hotter Than Others and Dragging Brake The grease shouldn't be getting hot enough to cause the Bearing Buddy Seal to bulge. That is due to the hub being over-filled with grease. I'd pull that hub off and inspect the brake assemblies as it sounds like something mechanical is going wrong or the drum itself wasn't turned properly. It wouldn't be possible for that assembly to somehow receive more hydraulic pressure than the others so it has to be a mechanical issue.

The length of the hub is 4-1/4 inches and the inner diameter of the inner and outer bearings, part # L44643, that are included with the hub measure 1 inch.

- Replacement Bearing Kit and Bearing Buddy Grease Caps for 2012 Triton LT Trailer with Reliable AxleThe owner's manual for the Reliable axle on your Triton PWC trailer indicates that the bearing used on the axle of your weight rating is # L44643. This part serves as both inner and outer bearing according to the manual, which I linked for you. We sell this bearing as an individual part and also as part of a complete bearing kit # BK1-100 which includes 2 of bearing # L44643, 2 of race # L44610, 1 grease seal # 34823 and a cotter pin. You'll need two kits per axle. The hub that uses...
view full answer... - Correct Hub and Washer Replacement for 1" Trailer SpindleThe correct idler hub for a 1" spindle is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 34822545BX. These will be used with a washer between the castle nut and outer bearing as should all trailer hubs. There isn't any one hub that's designed to be used with/without them, they should all be used with a washer. If you need a washer then you can use part # SW1000.

To determine the correct bearing kit for your trailer you will need to remove one of your current hubs and look for the bearing numbers stamped in the face of both the inner and outer bearings as shown in the included picture of the # L44649. If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the inner or outer bearing numbers you will...

- What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Hub for Mobile Home AxleFitting current hub/drums to mobile home axles is usually a long shot since the MH axles are one-time use and don't use standard trailer components. But what you would need is the diameter of the spindle where the bearings and seal ride. With that we would know if there's a hub that would fit.
view full answer... - How Tight Should Spindle Nut On Dexter 7000lb Axle Be?When you say "Slack" what exactly do you mean? It is normal and required for the bearings to have some slack to allow the wheel to turn without too much friction, and you should be able to rock the hub back and forth and feel slight movement. When installing the hub you should tighten the spindle nut all the way and then back it off one to two notches back. That sounds like how you have it so it should be about right. Just make sure you are not having an abnormal amount of hub movement. I...

This auto-check gives the grease a place to go instead of blowing out the rear grease seal when pressure gets too high, or too much grease is used. I would clean off the wheels/bearing buddies really well and check them after a short drive to see if they still leak or if it stopped. More than likely they just had a bit too...

There are varying sizes of bearings and I have linked a faq sheet to help you identify the correct ones. You're going to want to pull your hub off and take a look at the bearings you currently have. They should have numbers stamped onto the side. If they don't you will need to get some measurements to determine which size bearings are the right one for your axle. I have attached...
