E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-Compatible Hub for Simple Lubrication
The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube or etrailer Easy Grease axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
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"

Arrived on schedule. Took two orders, but finally got the correct hub/bearings. Easy install.
by: Glenn 12/24/2022
This was just what the doctor ordered! The most difficult part was getting the old corroded hub and bearings off. Once that was accomplished the new hub slid right on. Ove the fact that it was pre-greased. Thanks so much to Christine for helping me get the right part and for the fast delivery. You guys have a customer for life!

Perfect fit, no grease needed, but extra filled so have towels ready. I took the trailer a couple hundred miles on the freeway with no issues

The fit was perfect. Delivery got post, took 10 days to arrive. Instead of 6.

I bought a replacement axle and idler hubs for my utility trailer. Overloading with heavy firewood finally took its toll! Everything from etrailer.com showed up by UPS Ground right on schedule and the parts went together very nicely. The hub bearings are factory-lubricated, saving that critical step. I tested it out yesterday and the trailer runs fine. I would have to rate the products and purchasing experience as excellent (5 stars).
by: Kevin11/21/2021
One hub came with the wrong seal. They covered the cost of the right one. It still wasted time and caused frustration. The studs are already rusting but have not seen road salt. I am doing a major overhaul on this trailer down to bare metal. I haven't road tested it yet. Good price. Easy shopping online.

Everything fit fine and works perfectly

Danielle,
You’re amazing! You made an overworked, overwhelmed old man very happy!
My son and I were rebuilding a boat from ground up, it had to be finished by July 30.
Myself and eight old men were going to take the boat up the Mississippi River.
We’re going on a 4 day we survived CV-19 boat trip.
Anyway, the wheels fell off the trailer while traveling down the highway to test the boat. My son forget to tighten the lug nuts. The boat was ok but the hubs were destroyed, It took us 3 hours to limp 2000 some feet back home.
So I called etrailer this Friday the 10th of July in the afternoon, Danielle got the replacement hubs to me the 11th of July, Saturday afternoon, Amazing!
You have a customer for life! No one has ever ever treated me like that. I’m telling “EVERYONE” that the customer service at etrailer is second to none.
I’m so happy I shopped at etrailer.
Thanks Danielle!

Great high-quality hubs with pre-packed bearings. I replaced the axle and hubs on a Haul-Master 1195 lb. 4' x 8' folding trailer ( from that ubiquitous store that sells cheap tools - you know the one). I wanted a heavier duty axle with hubs that are standard sizes and could be repaired with readily available parts should I experience a breakdown on the road. These installed on my new axle without a fuss and were perfect on my first 300-mile trip hauling my enduro bike to the trailhead.
by: James05/18/2020
After 1 year they are working as good as new . put on a custom built home made light aluminum trailer to haul a small airplane . work great tires also work great

Great Customer Service.
Thank you.
by: Todd 09/01/2022
I was confused about the races so I called in and spoke to Justin, within 5 minutes he had answered my questions and given me the correct part#’s for my application- I went ahead and replaced both sides so I don’t have to worry about it again! He was super helpful, patient with my questions and very friendly! I really appreciate him! Great product too, they were ready to install out of the box and went on with ease!
by: Joe 09/20/2020
Simply a breeze to install. The pre-packed hub was ready to go. The how-to videos were also helpful. My trailer was back together in minutes.
by: Mark J08/20/2021
looks to be made of quality material... I'm very pleased!... we haven't had the opportunity to test them on the road, yet. The only thing that keeps me from rating this with 5 Stars is the lack of a cotter pin included. Not a game changer but, it would have saved me a trip to the local hardware store. But, then again, any excuse to go to the hardware store is fine by me. Like I said... I'm very pleased with the hub and with etrailer's customer service!

- Replacing The Hubs, Springs, And Wheels On A 2001 Venture TrailerI was also unable to locate any information about your Venture trailer, so there will be some measuring needed to make sure the correct parts are ordered. So to start with, the springs. The correct ones will depend on the style, width, and length. If you have a double eye spring, or closed at both ends like the # e84SR, you will need to measure from the center of one eye to the center of the other. This will tell you what length is needed and you will not need to measure the width as these...
view full answer... - Recommended Hubs For 22-AXC1 1800 lb AxleYou have a galvanized 1200 lb axle that uses L44649 inner and outer bearings, typically used on PWC trailers, I'd go with # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K which is pre greased and ready to install. The hub also includes the dust cap for E-Z lube or standard spindles as well as the lug nuts. The hub has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern which is very common. I'll link to an install video that you might find helpful..

We also have the Bearing Kit # BK1-150 that fits a straight spindle with a 1.063" diameter on the bearing surface.

- 1991 Starcraft Starflyer Replacement 4-Lug Pattern Idler Hub RecommendationI can get you most of the way there, but ultimately you'll have to pull the hubs on your 1991 Starcraft Starflyer to determine the correct hub. Pop up trailers typically have 2,000 lb axles. Since you have a 2K axle and a 4 lug bolt pattern this narrows down your choices to 2 different hubs, so just compare the bearing number to what I list below and choose the option that matches: - L44649 Bearings # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K - L44643 Bearings # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-1K
view full answer... - Measuring For Replacement Idler Hubs On a 1997 Scamper 23L Pop Up CamperTo ensure you get the correct hub for your 1997 Scamper 23L pop up camper you are going to need to pull one of your hubs off to determine what size spindle you have. You will need to measure the diameter of the spindle with a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 at the points on the image below for the bearings and grease seal. The Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-1K fits a spindle that has a 1" diameter for the bearings and 1.249" diameter for the grease seal. The Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K...

- Which Hub Assembly and Bearings do I Need to Replace 4 by 4 trailer hubs?To find which hub works for your trailer, we need to remove the current hub and look at the bearing numbers on the current bearings. Part # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K is the part you most likely need, but there is no way of knowing until the bearing numbers are matched. When trying to verify the bearings you currently have, you need to pull the bearings out of your hub and there should be a bearing number on the seal of the bearings. This will tell you if this part is a correct fit or not. If...
view full answer... - Replacement Options For a Trailer Hub With Inner Bearing L44643 and Outer Bearing LM11749Your spindle and parts for it are going to be obsolete. I recommend replacing it with the more common BTR Spindle # TRU44FR. This particular spindle will allow you to use the Hub # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K with 4 on 4" bolt pattern or a Hub # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Recommendations For Upgrading a 5.70-8 Trailer Wheel To Something LargerWe definitely have options to upgrade your current wheels. You will want to make sure you have at least 3 inches of clearance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender, but if you have the ability to modify the fender, this should not be much of an issue. You can also stick with the 4 on 4 bolt pattern if you like, but swapping that to the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern will allow for even more options. The first option if you end up staying with the 4 bolt pattern will be the Kenda...

- Correct E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000 Lb Trailer Idler HubThe BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles part # TRU44FR will work with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles part # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K and has a built-in grease zerk for easy lubrication.
view full answer... - Replacing Hubs and Leaf Springs on a Small Utility TrailerWe can definitely get you the parts needed to get your Lowes Trailer up and running, but there are a few things you will need to do to confirm the following parts will fit. First, you will need to determine the bolt pattern of your wheels. I linked an article that assists with this process. If you have a five bolt pattern, I have found that Option 3 in the article is the easiest to use. Second, you will need to remove one of the hubs to get access to the bearings. There are usually numbers...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub with 4 on 4 Bolt PatternA hub assembly like the # AKIHUB-440-2-1K you looked at with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern has a diameter of 5-1/2". At 2.31" you wouldn't be able to fit that bolt pattern on the hub since 4 on 4 implies 4 bolts with a circle that forms a 4" diameter. Typically you want to match up the bearings when looking for a replacement. This uses # L44643 bearings with an inner diameter of 1.00". The other option would be the # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K which uses # L44649 bearings that have a 1.063" ID. You can...
view full answer... - Timbren Axle-Less System vs. Torsion Axles for a Sail Boat TrailerI recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System # ASR2000S01 over a torsion axle for your trailer for a few reasons. First, the Timbren System increases ground clearance without increasing your trailer height. The Timbren System is also easier to replace as you can replace one spring at a time. They also operate independently of one another to minimize bounce for a smoother ride compared to the torsion axle system. An E-Z lube spindle is included with the system, but a Trailer Hub...
view full answer... - Replacement Spindle and Hub For 3/4 Straight SpindleI recommend updating your axle spindles to the the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU44FR as we do not have hubs that fit a 3/4" spindle. This is the more common 1-1/16" diameter spindle and will allow you to use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K. This hub is a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and with the spindle above will allow you to fill your hubs with Grease # L11465 using a Grease Gun # L30416 through the rubber cap on the grease cap.
view full answer... - Replacement Option for Axle With Metric Spindles for Haul Master TrailerUnfortunately, we don't carry a replacement axle that's compatible with metric hubs, but we do offer options that would get your trailer back on the road. We do offer hubs compatible with the # CE33201GA axle. For a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, I'd recommend going with part # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K or for a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, use # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K. If you'd prefer galvanized hubs for greater corrosion resistance, use # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-2K...

For compatible hub assemblies that include bearings and seal to fit, I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 4 on 4 # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K. This combination will work well for you.

- Replacement 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern Hub Compatible With 1.063 Inch Straight SpindleA 1.063 straight spindle is compatible with an L44649 bearing. I'd recommend the Dexter # 8-91-05UC1-EZ hub as a replacement. The hub has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and is compatible with the L44649 inner and outer bearing. Since your current hubs use lug bolts, it's considered hub-centric, which means that the lugs merely hold the wheel onto the hub, but the portion of the hub that extends through the pilot diameter of the wheel provides much of the load support to carry the weight of the...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub Options For a Spindle With 1-1/4 Inner Bearing and 7/8 Outer BearingI have a recommendation as we do not have any hubs that will use the bearing combination you have. I recommend replacing your spindles with the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU27FR. This will upgrade you to a more commonly found spindle size that use the same Inner and Outer Bearing # L44649. You will be able to use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K. Since the spindle and hub are easy lube you will be able to fill the hub with Grease # L11465 and a Grease Gun # L30416....
view full answer... - What Spindles are on Trailer Axle T20BTR-EZ-7258The trailer axle part # T20BTR-EZ-7258 that you referenced actually uses BTR spindles and not the lighter duty BT8. The BTR spindle has a diameter of 1.06 inch. For a idler hub that fits you could use the # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K.
view full answer... - Will Too Much Grease Cause Resistance in Wheels?The problem you are describing is odd because putting grease in should not cause resistance. I recommend disassembling your hubs and checking all the parts to make sure the bearings are seated correctly, the nut is tightened correctly and the seal is not broken.
view full answer... - Replacement Spindle and Hubs For 58000 Aluminum Hub On 1" Short SpindleYou are going to need to replace your spindle with the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU44FR as your spindle that fits the 58000 hub is shorter than current spindles. This new spindle will place the grease fitting on the end of the spindle allowing you to grease the bearings through the spindle. We have a few hubs for you to choose from based on your wheels and tires. 5 On 4-1/2" Idler Hub For 13"-15" Wheels # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K 5 On 4-1/2" Idler Hub For 10"-12" Wheels # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K 4...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hub for Coleman Caboose TrailerIt looks like the Coleman Caboose uses a small axle with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern for the hub. I don't know the exact part but for something that small it will likely use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K as a replacement. This hub fits on what is known as a BTR spindle. It's a straight spindle that has a 1" diameter. You can confirm this will fit by pulling your current hub and seeing if your bearings and seal match what this hub comes with: Inner Bearing -...
view full answer... - How to Find Correct 4 on 4 Replacement HubThe correct replacement hub will depend on your bearings. All of our 4 on 4 hubs use a # L44643 inner and outer bearing or # L44649 inner and outer bearing. You will need to look for part numbers on your existing bearings or measure the inner diameter. You could also measure the spindle where the bearings ride. If you have L44643 bearings (1" inner diameter) you can use # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-1K and for L44649 (1.063" ID) you can use # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K.

I sold the trailer after install - so I have no idea how it worked out, but the axle hubs seemed solid when I sold the trailer.
