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"

Couldnt be happier with these hubs! First one I pulled out of the box, I just verified that the races were seated, and installed after packing the bearings. One hub out of the four had a damaged bearing and seal, but it was due to packing. No biggie, was able to "coerce" the bearing and seal to look "normal". Had all four corners done and back on the road in less than 4 hours, which included uninstall of old hubs, cleaning, packing and installing new parts. Quick shipping as well. eTrailer is a great place to shop!



by:

Pleasantly surprised that it came with bearings, seals, races, and lug nuts

Good ExperieneWebsite laid out good, when ordering, it showed me what products went together instead of searching to find out like which hub goes to what axle and vise versa. Fast shipping and good products. Recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for trailer parts.

  • Dexter vs Lippert vs AL-Ko Trailer Axles
    Dexter axles are the industry leader in terms of overall quality. They are made in the USA and if you look around online or talk to people in the RVing community they general consensus is the Dexter axles are just better made overall and will be more reliable. I attached a link to a page that has all of the Dexter axles we offer currently as well.

  • Can a Trailer with a 3k Axle Rating and 2.7k Tire Rating Carry 2,600 lbs
    Yes, your axle has a rating of 3,000 lbs and your total tire capacity is 2,700 lbs so you would be able to carry a 2,600 lb load based on those two figures.

  • Trailer Hub Replacement Recommendation that Uses Wheel Bolts and Bearings # L44643
    The easiest solution is the part # CE13100 that you referenced as it fits as a replacement and your current wheels will work great with it. If you convert to a wheel stud style hub though you are going to have to get new wheels too as the wheels you have are designed for the wheel bolts. If that's still something you want to do let me know what tire size you have so I can pick out the correct wheel/tire combo you need.

  • Can 5 on 4-1/2 Inch Wheels Be Used With the Timbren Heavy-Duty 3,500 Lb Axle-Less System
    In order to add idler hubs to the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # ASR35HDS02 you would need to use either the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 42655UC1which both have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. Unfortunately, we do not have any trailer idler hubs with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern that fit the above system. If you need to upgrade to a wheel/tire with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern then please let me know what size and load range you need and I would be glad to offer...

  • Determining Weight and In What Position to Install Axles on a Trailer Build
    On our site, we list the shipping weight of our products, including axles. The shipping weight of our axles will be listed on that axles product page. For example, the Trailer Axle 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 3,500 lbs # e43SR will list the length of the axle, in this parts case 89 inches, the weight rating, 3,500 lbs, and the shipping weight of the axle which for this part is 101 lbs. This physical weight will be pretty exact in that the shipping material for this product adds very minimal...

  • How To Tell What Axle Weight Capacity Is
    The axle could have a tag or plate on it that will list the weight capacity. Based on the brake size you mentioned and the hub bolt pattern, my guess would be it is between 5,200 to 6,000-lbs weight capacity, but you may have to do some measuring to tell for sure. You can also tell the weight capacity of the axle by measuring the diameter of the axle using a digital caliper like part # PTW80157. Here is a list that will show the axle weight capacity based on the axle diameter: Typical...

  • What is the Capacity of a Round Trailer Axle with a 3 Inch Diameter
    Axles rated for 6,000 to 7,200 pounds usually will have 3 inch diameters. But it is possible for 5,200 pound axles or even 3,500 pound axles to have a 3 inch diameter axle. You could err on the side of caution and say each axle is rated for 3.5K for a total of 7K for the 2 axles combined. But there should be some information somewhere on the axles that indicate the capacity. There could be a tag that explicitly states the capacity or some numbers that would indicate the model of the axle....

  • How to Determine Capacity of Trailer Axle with 8 Lug Wheels
    If the trailer has 8 lug hubs that would indicate typically that the capacity for each axle is at least 5,200 lbs. Now if you go out and measure the outside diameter of the axle you'll get an even better idea. Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter - 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3 inch diameter - 8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2 inch diameter - 9,000-lb Axles: 4 inch diameter - 10,000-lb Or more...

  • How to Determine the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of a Road King Trailer
    I did some research and it looks like the company who manufactured your trailer, Road King has since went out of business which means determining the weight capacity of your trailer is going to be a task at the very least. I would first start off by checking around the tongue for any sort of plate which contains info such as VIN, tire size, axle capacity etc. as this may also display the GVWR which is the figure you are looking for. If the plate is not present then I have two options...

  • Can 6 Lug Trailer Hub Be Replaced with 8 Lug Hub
    It is very likely you can swap out the 6 lug hubs of your trailer with an 8 lug hub but it does come down to what axle capacity you have to determine what you need. If you check out the link I attached on this page you'll see all of the 8 lug hubs we carry. You'll need to select the axle capacity you have on the filters on the page to see what hubs will fit.

  • Estimating Weight Capacity of 2-5/8-Inch Axle on Old Holiday Rambler Travel Trailer
    Since your axle's tag cannot be read to confirm its weight capacity we can help you estimate this by comparing the weight ratings of springs similar to yours. This will not necessarily be exact but it will get you in the ballpark. Thank you for the helpful details about the trailer. The spring we offer that is nearest to your description - 6-leaf and 26-inches eye-to-eye - is Redline part # e27SR. This 1-3/4-inch wide spring is rated for use on 4500-lb axles.

  • ATM, GTM and Tare Mass Explained
    ATM is the maximum mass the towing vehicle can tow (mass of vehicle plus load in the trailer). Aggregate trailer mass is what it stands for. GTM stands for gross trailer mass, which is the total mass of the trailer fully loaded. (Mass of trailer plus maximum load the trailer can carry.) The ATM minus the mass of the trailer is the maximum load you can legally put in the trailer regardless of the carrying capacity of the trailer. Tare mass is the weight of the vehicle without anything...

  • Replacing A Damaged Axle On A 1997 Fleetwood Mallard 24J
    Hey Anderw, I can definitely point you in the right direction. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to look up your trailer to know what size and capacity axle you have currently. Do you happen to know the weight capacity of each individual axle? With a 6,000 lb GVWR it should be something like two 3,500 lb axles, but we will need you to verify this. We will also need to determine the hub face length, and spring center length of the current axle. If you are replacing just one axle on a...

  • Recommended Replacement Brake Assembly for Old Trailer With Wide 5 lug Brake Flange
    Although we might have a solution for you, we don't sell any brake assemblies that would be compatible with the brake mounting flange shown in your photo. You've got a few options. • You could remove the existing brake flanges if possible and replace them with modern 5 bolt. The mounting flange you need would depend on the diameter of your axle beam. • You could also replace the spindles with an axle stub that has an integrated brake flange and uses modern, easily available bearing...

  • Is There a Way to Determine Axle Capacity of 6 Lug Axle without Label
    If they are round axles you can easily measure the diameter of them to determine their capacity. - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter - 5,200-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3 inch diameter - 8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2 inch diameter - 9,000-lb Axles: 4 inch diameter - 10,000-lb Or more axles: 5 inch diameter Another way you can determine this is by measuring diameter of the drum on the brakes. If it's 10 inch diameter then it's 3,500 but...

  • How to Determine Capacity of Square Trailer Axle
    Square axle capacities are pretty hard to determine. Unlike round axles, they do not have set capacities based on their dimensions. We have no information for the bearing numbers you listed. But what you can do is give me some exact measurements of your spindle and we should be able to see if there is a hub we carry that would fit so that you could at least get a ballpark on your capacity. I need the dimensions of where the bearings and seal ride. You might be able to contact the original...

    The Outer Bearing # 1779 and Inner Bearing # 2788 are going to be specific to your current 22834 hub. You will need to replace your axle as the current 5,200LB axles use a much larger spindle.

  • Comparing V-Nose Trailer to More Traditional Flat Front Box Cargo Trailer
    The brands you gave are both quality trailers. The difference is in the components that you use with the trailer. The traditional box style trailer with the flat front is more compatible with accessories and if you are going to use weight distribution (like the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control # RP66087) is the route to go as the V-nose style interferes with mounting locations. If you won't be using weight distribution then the V.nose can allow you more storage...

  • Boat Trailer Tires are Wearing On the Inside Tread
    Generally when tires bow out at the bottom, in at the top, that indicates that the trailer is overloaded. If you are within the 2,000 pound capacity though this should not be happening. If the axle was ever flipped upside down, like to gain more height, that can cause this same issue. Axles should not be flipped because they have a bow in them. A flipped axle will have the bow facing the wrong way and it diminishes the capacity of the axle. Also, worn suspension components can cause...

If you cannot see the part numbers on the bearings or grease seal, then you can take a few measurements on your spindles.

    From what I have found looking at the parts from Grand Design, the axle for your trailer measures 86-1/2" from hub face to hub face. I recommend measuring to verify this information. Unfortunately, we do not have a 4,400 lbs axle. I also would not advise replacing just one axle, you would want to replace both.

However, if you take a quick measurement of the tube's diameter that should then confirm this. If it is 2-3/8" then you have two 3,500 lb axles. If it is 3" then it will most likely have 5,200 lb axles. In regards to leaf springs, you will need to measure the distance between the eyes while unloaded for replacement.
