Specs:
This trailer hub assembly has a zinc coating that resists corrosion, making it ideal for use on your boat or snowmobile trailer. All GAL-DEX hubs undergo a test in which they are sprayed with a 5-percent salt solution to determine corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 500 hours of constant exposure to the saltwater mist. This 500-hour salt spray rating indicates that a product is not only durable enough to last in freshwater environments, but it can also be used on trailers that come into contact with saltwater
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.

Today we're going to review part number 8-259-50BTUC1. This is Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly for 2,000 pound axles. Has the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, a galvanized finish. Now this galvanized assembly is great for marine use. The hub itself will fit 2,000 pound idler axles. Everything shown here on the table is included: the inner and outer bearings.
The bearing races are included; they're actually pre-installed in the hub already. The grease cap is included, the grease seal, and then five of the 1/2" lug nuts. Now this is a marine-grade trailer hub assembly that fits on idler axles. This trailer hub assembly has a zinc coating that will help resist corrosion, makes it ideal for us on your boat or your snow mobile trailer. This does have a galvdex 00:51 coating, which will undergo a test in which they are sprayed with a 5% salt solution and it helps determine the corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 500 hours of constant exposure to that salt water mist.
This 500 hour salt spray rating indicates that this product is not only durable enough to last in freshwater environments but it can also be used on trailer that come into contact with saltwater. Again, the application is 2,000 pound axles. Now the hub flange diameter, which if you drew a circle around the outer edge of this, the diameter of that is 5-1/2". Because of that, this will work with wheels 8" to 12" in diameter. The bolt pattern is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. The wheel studs are a 1/2" diameter so they do use 1/2" lug nuts.
The weight capacity on one of these is 1,000 pounds, so when you use this with one on the other side of the axle it will get you a 2,000 pound rating for the axle. Again, the bearing are included. They use both the same inner and outer bearing. It's part number L44643. The grease seal's included; it's part number 34823. That should do it for the review on part number 8-259-50BTUC1, the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly for your 2,000 pound axles, with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

A quality product for a fair price. Shipped and received on time so my trailer was ready for a scheduled trip to Maine with my ATV's!
Every thing good but could not get caps to go on. No problem I had some old ones that fit good. Maybe you might want to check that out. The service was great and being able to talk to Ricky on phone made it a wonderful experience.If I need anything Ricky will be the first one I call. Thank You.
