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"

I received the wheels, Spindles and bearings. I did not receive the Hubs. I received Tandem-Axle Hangers Item H248 instead. I've attached a photo of what I received. Please advise next steps to get the two hubs, Items AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K TRAILER IDLER HUB ASSEMBLY 2000 LB AXLES- 4 ON 4 GALVANIZED. Shipping was great and the parts I did receive look to be very good quality. Thank you
by: Wayne01/08/2023
Parts fit perfect. I just wish the kit included a cotter pin.
The old hubs were frozen in place and the grease inside was completely dried, including the bearings. I opted to replace entire hub as I new I would damage something trying to get the old races out of the old hubs. Clean up the spindles and proceed with the install. It was fast and easy.
by: Ryan08/26/2023
I thought the hubs and bearings looked good and the install went OK. Took the boat out for one fishing trip and get back home to see both sides are trashed. The left side completely pushed my bearing buddy out and looks like it may have been riding on the axle spindle. I don't know if the outer races weren't completely seated in the hub when they were shipped or if the bearings are absolute junk. If they are going to ship the hubs with the races pre-installed they should be seated properly if you ask me.
by: Jim 03/06/2024
Great fit, great customer service.
by: Dan 07/03/2023
Just as described. Nicely packaged. Quality parts at a great price. It would be nice if a cotter pin was included. Because if your not a mechanic like me and have some. You are going to have to make a trip to the parts store to complete your project. Other than that I highly recommend getting your parts here. I used these hub to convert a log splitter to a hub and wheel assembly instead of the one piece. Worked perfectly.
by: Greg W11/07/2016
Great replacement for Hobie Kayak trailer used in saltwater... hubs look like they will hold up better being galvanized. Great bearing and seal replacement.... great fit.
Shipping was very fast and parts were spot on.

Perfect fut!!! Got our bow fishing boast ready to hit the water!!
by: Jim07/08/2023
Parts arrived as shown and were easily installed. They were used on my boat trailer so the galvanized hubs were a perfect fit. Etrailer is easy to work with and communicates the progress of your order via email.
by: Brett04/23/2020
I should have known but I didn't read reviews. No Cotter pin! That is such an easy thing to add but they don't. It requires a trip to the store making this a pain in the rear. Would be a cool bonus to add a new nut as well. I think the instructions are not very in depth either but still a good product.
by: Terry 02/10/2024
Hubs look good. No problems.
by: Jerry 07/12/2023
Good part. Unfortunately the grease seals didn't hold up. Need to replace them.
by: Albert 05/07/2023
Had a strange hub that used lug studs and one of the threads stripped. This item was cheap, shipped quick, and put my utility trailer back in service. No complaints, would buy again.
by: Douglas 07/10/2023
As always e.trailer delivered quickly and everything was well packaged. I've been using e.trailer a lot recently and they are on top of their game.
by: Mike 06/06/2023
Seems in this day and age something always comes up. Not with thease hubs and bearings. Everything was as described and fit like a glove. I'm really looking forward to getting my boat out now.
by: Michael05/28/2023
Great price. However, after tightening the bearings down so the wheel moves freely, there seems to be a little bit of a grinding noise. If I loosen it too much, then there's some wobble in the hub. Will know the next time I take the boat out. If I hear any grinding and if the hub gets warm, we'll have to contact customer service. For the price, if I get 2 years out of the bearings I'd be happy. I would have preferred a better bearings that were smooth, maybe higher quality like a timken.

You can’t beat Etrailer for service and availability of parts.
by: Robert 05/14/2023
Excellent hub for my utility trailer at a most reasonable price. Shipped quickly, seems to be a quality hub!
by: Norm 04/29/2020
Good hub, good price. Purchased for a vintage Alloy brand boat trailer. Perfect replacement . Matches the hub on the other side which I purchased from Etrailer some years ago. Nice to have this stability in the products offered. The only addition I made was to also order a double lipped grease seal at the time of purchase, since this is a boat trailer application.

After a year of service, hub is working fine. The double lipped grease seals I added are also doing their job. No complaints!
by: Michael 12/06/2022
I purchased this a pair of these hubs for my huskee 20 ton log splitter. I got tired of taking the bearings out when I needed to fix a flat or replace the tire. Kit included everything listed and I got replacement cotter pins from the local hardware store. The upgrade was easier than expected with everything fitting right down to the rear bearing seal!!
I purchased 2 tires and rims (item number AM30040) to match up to the new hubs. They are OEM tires and an upgrade to load rating that originally came with the splitter.
I would highly recommend this upgrade! product came nicely boxed up and came a few days earlier than expected.
one star taken off rating because I don't know how long they will last but they are excellent so far
by: Alexander A12/15/2022
The packing job was as bad as it gets. Spindles, hubs, and a tin of grease just chucked into the middle of the box between two wheels without a care in the world. That level of "I don't give a $#!+" from the warehouse crew is highly irritating. Otherwise would have left a better review as the products and service from etrailer are usually quite good. All it takes is for one link in the chain to break and it ruins the whole experience.

- What is the Difference Between Trailer Hubs # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K and # AKIHUB-440-2-G-2KThe two hubs you mentioned, # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K and # AKIHUB-440-2-G-2K fit different spindles. More specifically they use different bearings and seals. First, hub # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K uses L44643, with a 1 inch inner diameter, as the inner and outer bearing, and the seal is a 34823, which has an inner diameter of 1.249 inches and outer diameter of 1.983 inches. Based on your information this sounds like the correct replacement. Check your old bearing numbers or you can take measurements...

- Will Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles Fit Log SplitterThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K will fit the spindles on your log splitter, and allow you to tighten down the castle nut so your cotter pin fits. These use # L44643 bearings with a 1" inner diameter and have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. If you need 5 on 4-1/2 instead you can use the # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-1K.
view full answer... - Hub with 4 Lug Bolt Pattern that Uses Bearing Numbers L44649The two bearings you mentioned have different inner diameters. The # L44643 has an inner diameter that is exactly 1 inch and the # L44649 is 1.06 inch. This may not seem like a lot but it's a big enough difference to prevent the hub you have now from fitting your spindle (you may already know this). The seals are slightly different diameters too. Since you wouldn't be able to swap out the bearings of your current hub to the correct size you need (the hub won't match), the only solution...
view full answer... - How to Determine Which Replacement Hubs for a 2000 Flying Scot Trailex Boat TrailerUnfortunately, we aren't able to look up the hubs used by a particular make and model trailer, although I sure wish would could as it would make life a lot easier! The good news is that it's pretty simple to determine which hubs you need. The easiest way to determine which replacement hubs would be needed would be to pull one of the hubs and get the reference number engraved/stamped/etched onto the side of the cages that hold the roller bearings. For a smaller trailer like yours, you...
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs with 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern for 1" Non-Tapered Spindle on Boat Trailer with 12" WheelsA non-tapered spindle with a 1.00" diameter will use an # L44643 inner and outer bearing, so you'll want to use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K, which have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and work with 12" wheels. These hubs are galvanized so they're ideal for boat trailers, have a 2000-lbs capacity and are the only available capacity that will fit on those spindles. I've linked a short review video of these for you to have a look at.
view full answer... - Can a 5-Lug Trailer Hub Replace a 4-Lug if the Bearings and Seals are the SameYes, you can go with hub # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K since it uses the same bearings and seal size as your regular hub # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K. Keep in mind that you will also have to switch to wheels with the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I would assume you are wanting to go with 12 inch tires which is the largest either of these hubs can take. I have included a link to all of the wheel and tire and wheel combos we have in the 12 inch size with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Replacement 4 Bolt Idler Hub For 1" SpindleBased on the measurements of your spindle you provided the most likely replacement hub is the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K which uses Inner and Outer Bearing # L44643 which is 1" I.D and uses the 4 on 4 bolt pattern. The reason I say most likely is that the most common 4 lug bolt pattern is 4 on 4, but there is a 4 on 5 option. To confirm your bolt pattern you will need to measure the distance between the holes in your wheels according to the article...
view full answer... - Picking Out Replacement Hub for 1,000 lb Motorcycle TrailerTo pick out correct hub for your trailer we would need more info. We would need to know the wheel bolt pattern, the current bearing numbers OR diameter of the spindle where the bearings rides or axle brand and capacity. I would be willing to bet your trailer needs a 2,000 lb axle hub like the part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K for a 5 bolt hub or part # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K for a 4 bolt.

These are chrome plated and include rubber covers. We also have the stainless steel Bearing Buddy that will also work. For those you would order part # BB1980A-SS.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Replacement Trailer Hub for 1-1/4 Inch Diameter SpindleSo there are only a couple ways to definitively know what replacement hub you need, and this is based on a bit of necessary information. First, you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has, as spindle size is an indicator but doesn't have the required info. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them....

To 100% confirm if this is the case you'll want to measure your spindle with a pair of calipers # PTW80157 at the points B,C, and D in the diagram below. You should get 1.0" exactly for C and D, and 1.249" for B. If you get something else I'll need to know the exact measurements to the decimal to determine the correct fit. Using a hub...

- Trailer Hub For BT8 Spindle With 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern For Boat TrailerThank you for that information, and we do have a hub that fits a BT8 spindle and has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. This hub is for a 2,000 lb axle, and is galvanized to protect it from corrosion, which is what you'll need for a boat trailer. The correct hub that fits a BT8 spindle with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern is the following: - Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K If you don't have a bearing packer I recommend the Bearing Packer # PTW1218.

EZ Loader may be able to look up a VIN for you. Otherwise, the best way is to remove a hub and confirm some specs. We would want to confirm the lug pattern, and the inner and outer bearing sizes. For example, the # CE13311 that you were looking at is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and it uses a # L44649 inner and outer bearing...

All of the 4 lug idler hubs we carry would use a grease cap with a diameter of 1.98". Provided your trailer uses the same standard size, the correct bearing buddy will be # BB1980A-SS. You could always take a micrometer or caliper to the pilot hole in the hub to confirm the size.

If they're worn or missing you will have to measure. Using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 you can measure the inner diameter of the bearings or the spindle where the bearings ride.

- How to Accurately Find Replacement BearingThere is no way to know for sure with a measurement of 15/16 of an inch what the correct bearing is. The only way to know the correct bearing is to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearing rides. The reason for that is because the measurements of some bearings are so similar; bearing # 1779 has a 0.938 inch inner diameter, bearing # L44643 has a 1.00 inch inner diameter and bearing # L44649 has a 1.063" inner diameter.
