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"

Excellent product and customer service. After 1 year of use, running flawlessly. Customer service was very helpful in figuring out the correct replacement parts for my setup.

I wish I had taken before and after photos of my trailer. A typical 5x8 utility trailer with the extruded wire mesh deck which I got for a bargain, perfect for my lawn tractor or 4 wheeler. However the 8" wheels did not provide enough ground clearance for the terrain where I intended to use it as a equipment hull trailer to our deer camp, pulled by the 4 wheeler. After finding etrailer.com my problems were solved! I ordered 5 bolt hubs, 5.30 x12" wheels and the economy plastic fenders and fender brackets. While waiting my order I wire wheeled the frame and gave it a fresh coat of paint and WHAL-LA! I have a new looking trailer! The order arrived in record time, securely packaged and great quality! I ordered the pre-packed hubs and didn't have to get into that sticky mess! Everything worked out as planned and was easy-peezy to assemble and install. I'll definitely use etrailer.com in the future.

I looked all over, to include Harbor Frieght where I bought the trailer, and could not find replacement bearings. Etrailer.com had exactly the parts I needed. They fit as advertised and arrived in just 3 days. I will definitely use etrailer.com again and you should too!

Great product. Super easy to install. I recently towed my motorcycle cross country and had no issues at all.

I purchased this hub for an axle that i had which I was using for a homade trailer that I had built for my riding lawn mower. The hub was an exact fit and I have had no problems with it. Great product...

A year later and the product is still working great. Ive had absolutely no problems nor do I have any complaints.

This is a convenient way to replace, repair or upgrade. The hubs and bearings appear to be good quality. And having everything preassembled and greased makes the swap clean and easy.

I pull a sailboat many miles and hours each year participating in regattas. I always carry an extra complete hub. I always depend on etrailer to provide me with all replacement parts for he trailer. I have never been dissatisfied with their products. Their service and support is excellent. Thanks, Mickey

Very good price, works great on my harbor freight folding trailer I modified last year, it upgrades with my 1720axle and 5lug 530c load tires from the 1195axle with 4lug 480b load tires giving me more weight capacity now to strengthen the trailer tongue . Thank you very much



by:

As always excellent service and excellent products. Trailer hubs and bearings are top quality. Highly recommend etrailer.



by:

I finally got to insall the hub kit. I love how it assembled so easy, it fit like a glove. The kits were exactly what they were stated to be. As usual etrailer comes through with high quality products at an affordable price. Also love the resource information on the website!



by:

It was very easy to swap out the "old parts for the new". When I did have a question, etrailer.com was there for me..... I highly recommend that anyone in need of trailer repair parts contact etrailer.com!



by:

Ordered two tires, two Aluminum fenders, and Hubs. etrailer.com is one of the easiest websites to place orders on I have ever used. Extremely well laid out. Fast shipping and product is packaged professionally. Great products, great prices, products are high quality.

Rarely order from any other trailer parts companies. etrailer has just about everything trailer related and no junk! Can't beat this company.

These hubs were the perfect fit for my old boat trailer. It was very convenient that they came all assembled and greased, it took not even 10 minutes to have them on and the wheels back on!

Easy to install and works well.



by:

The bearing blew out on my kayak trailer. Where to get a replacement? Auto parts couldn't get it. E-trailer had everything in stock including the hub at a very reasonable price. Jennifer was very reassuring that it was the right fit.
Thanks for the expert advice and fast service.



by:

Fits perfect!!!!! I should have done this first instead of buying bearings and unable to remove the old bad race. While trying to remove the old race I cracked the hub and destroyed it. Then to make matters worse went to the local farm store and got what seemed like the right thing...but it was wrong too. Would have saved myself a lot of aggravation had I did my research on etrailer.com and got the right thing first. The Q&A section got me right what I needed. 10 min on the site I had ordered exectly what I needed. It arrived in two days. Almost faster than the farm store. I have spent more than two days returning parts. I will go with etrailer.com from now on.



by:

Received, then installed within an hour. No problems at all during assembly. Grease caps fit nice and tight. Came with an extra set of caps for ez-lube axles, I think. I appreciated the pre-greased condition, just install them and go.



by:

etrailer always has what I need when it comes to repairing my trailers, & at great prices. they also stay in contact when processing your order. Thanks.



by:

Very satisfied! The axles and hubs I ordered were great quality. Everything from the website to delivery were excellent. I would definitely order from you again!



by:

Great job assembly of the hub / bearings & seal.
Part was superbly packed in the shipping box, it arrived in great shape.



by:

There was a slight misunderstanding with my order, however , much to the credit of my sales rep and the etrailer.com, they went above and beyond to make it right. I was very satisfied and would certainly do business with them again . I would also recommend them to friends.

  • Replace Hub Assemblies With Bearing Buddies For A 2,000 Lb. Trailer Axle
    Our 2,000 lb. trailer axles use both 1" and 1.06" diameter spindles. In order to determine you are receiving the correct hub assembly, you will want to use a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 to ensure you have an exact measurement. If the spindle on your trailer measures out to be 1" in diameter, then you have a 2,000 lb. axle that uses the L44643 bearing. For a 5 on 4-1/2" hub assembly designed to be used with a 2,000 lb. axle and L44643 bearings, I recommend using the Trailer Idler...

  • Recommended Hub For Reliable BT150A Axle
    The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-1K you were looking at may fit your Reliable BT150A axle, but based on my research it may use the # L44643 bearings like the # AKIHUB-545-2-1K, or may use # L44649 bearings. The only way to be sure is to remove one of your current hubs and look for the bearing numbers stamped in the face of each bearing as shown in the included picture of the # L44649. If your hubs use the # L44643 the # AKIHUB-545-2-1K would be correct. If your...

  • Trailer Idler Hub with 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern that Fits a 1 Inch Diameter Straight Spindle
    To find the right replacement hub for a trailer you will need the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings or the measurements of the spindle to 3 decimal places. The measurements have to be as accurate as possible so I recommend using digital calipers # PTW80157. I included a picture that shows where to measure. If the spindle diameter is 1 inch the whole length where the bearings ride then hub # AKIHUB-545-35-K will not fit. It takes 2 different bearing...

In order to make sure you choose the right hub assembly you are still going to need to look at your bearings and identify them.

    Since your inner and outer bearing surfaces measure .99 inch in diameter and the seal diameter is 1.24 inch you do have a BT8 spindle. The bearing kit we have for this spindle and the hub it's designed for is the part # BK1-100. The bearing, race, and seal number you mentioned do not match anything we have though so while the bearing kit I mentioned does fit the spindle it may not fit the hub.

It comes with the correct grease seals as well. For additional seals though you'd need the part # 10-9. For a replacement spindle you'd want the part # TRU44FR.

    You can certainly upgrade to a 14 inch tire on your trailer as long as you have the clearance necessary for the larger diameter tires. If you are needing to replace the trailer hubs, you will first need to pull your existing units to check for the bearing numbers that are used. These should be stamped onto the bearings themselves. If you cannot locate the numbers, you can also measure the spindle at various locations where the bearings sit. You will want to use a digital caliper like...

But if you are willing to remove the old spindles and have new ones welded on then I do have a solution for you. First for the spindles: I recommend a BT8 spindle # TRU97FR for a square stub or # TRU94FR for a round stub.

  • Finding Correct Trailer Wheels to Match Hubs for a BT8 Spindle
    You're correct that all of the 8 inch rims we carry have a pilot hole that's in the range of 2.8 inches. Not nearly as large as the 3.275 inches you need. The best solution I recommend is replacing the hubs, unfortunately. I recommend part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K for standard spindles or part # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-1K for EZ Lube spindles. I don't recommend boring out the pilot hole of the rim or grinding down the hub. It will very likely compromise the integrity of either part.
