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"

The Drums were loose in the box and damaged the seals as the drums were free to move around while being shipped.Not a good packaging job.I should of checked the seals for damage before I got my mobile RV mechanic out to do the work but the bearings and seals were all wrapped up to the ends of the drums and I assumed incorrectly that they were ok. I had to run out to the nearest parts store and luckily they had seals that fit but they only came with a new set of bearings $XX. Also no washer or shim was provided with this kit so had to get that as well. The drums and bearings were fine as were the brakes.
Lesson learned to always check all your parts beforehand.

I am sorry that you needed to make an extra trip to replace the damaged bearings and missing hardware. I will have Customer Service reach out to you about the order.



by:

These are to replace old 7 1/4" brakes on an older pop up camper frame that I built a small camper on. Looks they will work perfectly with the new Dexter 7" brake assembles I have.



by:

The brake drums rubbed on the kind of backing plates on my trailer. I think my axles was an older stable. I was able to modify them to make things work though. They worked great and have made several trips with my brake system working great!



by:

Very well detailed order recap. I like how the videos and parts details are shown with the current order. Well done.

These delivered as advertised I am glad I bought them here as the video showed exactly what I needed to know

Erica at etrailer.com was extremely helpful in helping me select the right breaks for my trailer application. The ship time was incredibly fast installation was a breeze and customer service is top notch!!!

Purchased as part of all parts required to upgrade a 1996 Jayco to electric brakes. Very pleased with quality of parts and results. Battery still fully charged after winter in storage!

I hate to see that parts arrived damaged out of the hub assembly. I will have out customer service team reach out.



by:

A year ago I bought these as part of an overhaul for a 1976 coleman pop-up camper. Many parts on it were obsolete, so I had to change the drums along with the entire suspension. I am pleased to say they work great with my electronic brakes! We've taken our refurbished trailer on 2 long-distance trips (including one into the mountains) and the brakes and drums perform very well!



by:

Everything in one package taped to the hub. I would have offered more protection for shipping to the bearing and seal then just taping it to the hub but it did arrive unscathed. Quality seemed good. Went together easy. Lost the first dust cap on my first trip around the block for a brake adjustment test. Lost the second on the second trip (about 10 miles). I ordered replacement dust caps and the tap on tool. Not sure if I didn't have them on well enough or if there is a product problem there. I have done a lot of these and never had a problem before.



by:

First of all, the product description on the eTrailer website was very detailed and very complete. With all the different axle sizes and types out there, it was nice to have the specs to make sure I was ordering the right part.

I like the shipping tracker. It's easy to use, and I knew where the shipment was, and when to expect delivery. That was nice, because my hub arrived a day later than I thought it would. (When you order on Good Friday, on Easter weekend, 3 day shipping might take an extra day. I should have expected that.)

I thought that rebuilding the existing hubs would be a good idea. And it was. But while driving the new bearing race into place, I let the race get crooked, and I cracked the hub.

The old hub uses bolts to mount the wheel. The new hub has studs and lug nuts, which makes tire changing much easier. The new hub comes with the race pre-installed, just have to apply grease and tap in the rear seal. very easy.

All things concidered, I'm very happy with the entire process, and will probably order a roof rack for my pop up camper from etrailer in the near future.



by:

The first 2 drum and hub combos i got were machined crooked and the second set had to be turned on a drum lathe before the brakes would work properly. I lost time and money being broke down and paying to have the drums checked and turned at a machine shop. Maybe made in China? The people at e trailer were helpfull and prompt no complaints there, just the quality of product.

DID THE JOB FOR OUR TRAILER-



by:

The hubs are great, easy install and perfect fit. Can't wait to try out them and the new electric brakes I installed.



by:

I had to replace one hub on my pop-up camper and decided I should do both wheels. The parts I ordered came very quickly (3 days), without having to pay extra for quick shipping. The parts matched perfectly and the job went very smoothly. My only complaint is that one of the hub covers/grease seals was dented and bent. It looks like it was damaged during shipment as it was not packaged separately but instead was taped to the outside of the hub. Luckily one of my old seals was reusable and everything worked out.



by:

I received my parts, packed the bearings, installed the brakes and backing plates assemblies. installed the drum and hubs, adjusted the brakes and on the road we go. It took 1 hour to do both sides and they fit perfect. Thanks etrailer.com



by:

Not sure if these hubs are going to work. Spent a hour today installing and found small size differences between old and new ones. I thought kit was supposed to include everything, but it was missing cotter pins and bearing washers. This was not my first purchase from etrailer, but I could of used more information on hub dimensions. I was replacing surge brake hubs for a 1992 Jayco popup. I would suggest adding links to mechanical drawings with guidance on what and where to measure to get the best product.



by:

Electric Brake kit for trailer this time.
The parts are very acceptable and the service is supreme.
Couldn't get any better service anywhere. I've bought a lot of items from etrailer for a couple years now. I have had great experiences with each and every order.



by:

Ordered 4 parts as part of an update to my tandem axle trailer. The correct lip seal is included with 3 and one has the wrong lip seal(too wide and wrong ID). Compatibility information with other parts ordered (brake assemblies in this order) is valuable.



by:

Exactly what I needed for conversion from hydraulic to electric brake system on 1994 Jayco King pop-up camper.



by:

Fit my 1997 Starcraft Starflyer 1021 popup camper. Only problem was that it came with the wrong bearings (came with L44643 instead of L44649). Had to call and now I have to wait another week to do the job.



by:

Seal is bent a bit. I can still use it.



by:

We received our order in record time. The representative was most helpful, and we received the item that we needed.



by:

corect part, good quality.



by:

all parts were there, and works OK.

  • Adding a Brake Axle to a 48 Inch Wide Home Made Travel Trailer on Harbor Freight Frame
    What you could do is use an axleless system # A35RS545E which comes with everything except a brake controller. The only issue is that you would need to also replace the tires and wheels with something like # TA73RR since the kit has a 5 bolt pattern and your trailer has a 4 on 4 pattern. We don't have a straight axle with the proper spring hanger spacing for the trailer. But you could potentially use # T20BTR-6048 and have a professional welded cut off the spring seats and weld on new...

  • Hub/Drum with 4 Lug Bolt Pattern that can be Used with 2k Brake Assembly Set # AKEBRK-2
    The trailer brake assembly set part # AKEBRK-2 that you referenced are for 2,000 lb axles so for a 4 lug bolt pattern hub/drum that you can use with this you'd just need the # 8-173-16UC3 as long as your spindle is the BTR spindle that has bearing surface diameters of 1.06 inch.

  • Parts Needed to add Electric Trailer Brakes to 1990 Skamper 190c
    You are able to install an electric braking system on your trailer. The parts needed are going to be determined by the axle that your camper is equipped with. From what I can tell from your picture, it looks like this is a 4 lug axle which is going to likely mean you have a 2,000-lb axle with a 1-3/4" diameter. In order to verify that is correct you will need to confirm that the Inner and Outer bearings on your trailer wheel hubs match L44649. You can verify this once you've taken it apart...

  • Can 7 Inch Hydraulic Trailer Brake Drums be Used with Electric Brakes
    The Dexter hubs for hydraulic brakes # 23-399 and # 23-398 indicate that they are for use with hydraulic brakes only so you would not use them with electric brakes. The inside surface where a brake magnet would stick (called the armature surface) is not the correct design for electric brakes.

  • Should 1 or 2 Axles Have Brakes on Tandem Axle Trailer
    You really want brakes on both axles of your trailer. If you only put them on a single axle they're going to be stopping the full weight of the trailer when it is really designed to be shared with another set of brakes. Also, there are state laws that require brakes on both axles so if you add them to both you don't have to worry about local laws. You will need to know your axle capacity to find the correct brake assemblies. This information is typically on the axle tag. If you have the...

They will have to come off anyway to install the brakes. For L44649 inner and outer bearings and a 4 on 4 bolt pattern you can use # 8-173-16UC3 or, if you have EZ lube axles with the grease fitting at the ends then use # 8-173-16UC3-EZ.

    You might be able to re-use the drums. Some 7 inch hydraulic drums are sized differently and will not allow electric brake assemblies to be properly positioned in the drum. Some times the hydraulic drums are too deep and will make contact with the brake backing plate before they are seated all the way on the spindle.
