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"

Hubs arrived poorly packed, which resulted in the bearings being damaged in the box. Etrailer sent new bearings out however this still caused me to have to wait even longer to get my trailer back together. All of this could have been fixed by proper packaging before shipping.
by: Mark04/16/2024
Threads were flattened on some of the studs from the hubs tumbling around in the box. Brown packaging paper was in the bottom of the box but offered no protection. Hubs could have been rapped with the brown paper to prevent metal to metal damage. Just saying what it is...

Exactly what I needed to renew an older trailer.
by: Chad04/06/2024
Going to be used as a spare for the boat. A bearing was damaged in shipping, but customer service was awesome. Great company!
by: Aaron02/02/2019
Hubs are well built with races already pressed into place. Lugnuts included. Galvanized to keep them rust free for years. One thing that could be better is package of bearings. They were in a bag with lugnuts, grease cap, and seal. Bearings might get damaged but overall great product.
by: Mike B03/27/2019
I feel very comfortable having put these on my Jet Ski Trailer. Races already installed, greased everything up and it rolls like a champ. I did have to change the seals on them due to my trailer needing a smaller diameter seal.
by: Paul 04/21/2024
Fast and accurate service, even was delivered a day early
by: Guy 02/13/2024
Product was exactly as described and was packaged well. The race sleeve was already installed which made assembly very easy.
Would purchase again.

Good setvice. Just what I ordered.

I will always get my trailer needs here it's easy and convenient
by: Greg07/18/2019
Will at etrailer was very helpful in determining what parts I needed on an old and not maintained jet ski trailer. The hub, bearings etc got here a day or two earlier than I thought I would get them. Installed them the following morning and everything fit perfectly.
I will use again and definitely would recommend.
by: Jon 04/14/2023
Delivered timely and product as specified. Not the first time I've ordered from e-trailer and as always they are good to their word
by: Michael 08/28/2022
These fit perfect
They allowed me to bolt on some nice American racing rims with the Ford bolt pattern
The boat trailer looks so much better now
Thank you for a good quality product and fast shipping
by: David08/24/2022
Hubs are ok, were sent with cheap Chinese bearings, which I refuse to use on a trailer for a $50,000 boat. Had to order USA bearings from another supplier
by: Kenny12/05/2017
Dust covers do not fit hub. They are to wide at the base to fit into the supplied hub. I tried sanding them down and also gently using a rubber mallet while rotating around the cover to try and get it in. Still do not fit, I'm a pretty experienced shop worker as well.

Kenny, Thank you for your review. The grease caps that come with this hub are designed to fit a 1.980 hub bore. Sometimes it can be a tight fit. If you tried tapping them in with a rubber mallet and it did not work, you may want to measure the diameter of the grease cap.

Looks like the diameter is the right size. I think the spindles are just a little to long/deep for the cap.
by: Ken02/03/2022
The hubs and bearings were all mfg'd in China and seem to be just fine. They went together nicely and went onto the old groaty spindles with only a little persuasion. I think it might be worth saying that the "galvanized" finish on the hubs is really not traditional hot dipped galvanizing. . .perhaps some sort of electro plating. However, plain uncoated black iron hubs will last 20 years or more trailering into salt water, so it's certainly not an issue. The big takeaway here ought to be how great the customer service and delivery are, always, at etrailer. In this case it was Pamela who helped me work my way through what would be the right bearings and hubs. . .lovely lady who took good care of my confusion and uncertainty. And George let me know they'd shipped the morning after I ordered them at bedtime. Talk about quick! And they got to Seattle a day before promised. What's not to like!!?
by: Jason10/15/2019
etrailer is the best, I placed a order for two hub assemblies, and two wheels with tires. shortly after ordering, they quickly informed me that the hubs were, out of stock, they recommended a suitable replacement, they changed my order to reflect and everything show up just two days later. quality parts, everything fit and functioned correctly. was able to get snowmobile trailer all ready for winter much cheaper and quicker then I anticipated. thank you etrailer, would order form again and again. fast response, knowledgeable, respectful and great products!.
by: Donald07/22/2019
Bought a used homemade utility trailer and the hubs were in such a neglected shape that I gave up on them. I got the galvanized hub kits and it was a snap to get the trailer going. I had already spent about 3 hours (in a hot storage building) on the old ones. With the hub kits it only took me about 11/2 hours from start to finish. It was worth every cent for the new ones. The ordering process made it very easy to get the correct parts.
Thanks,
Donald H.

THE QUALITY OF THE TRAILER HUBS WERE OUTSTANDING.WHAT I LIKED MOST WAS THE RACES WERE INSTALLED.I NEEDED A GOOD QUALITY HUB ASSEMBLY FOR MY BOAT TRAILER AS I DRIVE ALOT OF LOGGING ROADS IN NORTHEN MAINE TO GET TO REMOTE LAKES AND PONDS.I GOT CONFIDENCE THAT THIS PRODUCT WILL HOLD UP TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS.I ALSO ADDED BEARING BUDDIES TO MAINTAIN THE HUBS FOR A LONG TIME TO COME
by: Picky09/15/2017
The fit, quality and finish on the hubs and bearings seems OK.
When tapping the first dust cover in with a rubber mallet it dented. The second was too large and I was not able to install it. The thickness of the covers is so thin I think I could crush them with my hands. I ended up using the old ones.
This does not help my expectation for the life of the bearings.
by: Robert07/14/2017
Short one lug nut, other than that all products look good.
Can't give you 5 stars.

Well I can say I dont like the Chinese wheel bearings so much had one go out. First time i had a wheel bearing ever go out. It was the front one that didnt make sense. Had to leave the boat along side the Road and i didnt like that to much.
by: Robert02/10/2021
Good product. Used in high salinity bay (saltwater use) has held up to corrosion.
Unfortunately I had to purchase separate size seals due to my trailer's axle size is different than what came with the kit.
by: Craig 02/04/2017
Perfect match to replace a set of rusted-out originals and everything I needed was there. Very pleased with the etrailer.com site with all of the information to help make the right selection. Definitely raising the bar for on line shopping for replacement parts!
by: JetSkiJunky02/13/2017
Solid replacements to the old, rusted out hubs that were on the trailer from previous lack of care... Look forward to many years of use with these, especially after treating them with FluidFilm

- Replacement Galvanized Trailer Idler Hub For a Continental EC39 Boat TrailerYour Continental EC-39 Boat Trailer will need a Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K. I was able to confirm with Continental that you have a spindle that uses 1.063" bearings on a straight spindle with a 1.249" ID grease seal. You will need to replace the grease seal that comes with the kit with a Double Lip Grease Seal # 34823. If your Cotter Pin # 165649, Washer # SW1000, or Spindle Nut # 165686 are damaged or missing we have those items available for replacement as well....
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hub for Boat Trailer with Timken Bearings 07100Based on the bearing dimensions that you have you have a 2,000 lb trailer axle so for a replacement hub the part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K would work. This has a 5 lug bolt pattern. If instead you have a 4 bolt pattern you'd need the part # CE13110.
view full answer... - Trailer Wheel Hub to Match 2,200 Pound Lippert SpindleWe do carry the hubs and bearings that fit spindle # LC142161. The bearing kit is part # BK1-150 which uses # L44649 for both the inner and outer bearings. The hubs that fit come in either a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, like idler hub # AKIHUB-440-2-2K, or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, like part # AKIHUB-545-2-2K. We also have the same hubs galvanized; part # AKIHUB-440-2-G-2K for the 4 on 4 and part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K for the 5 on 4-1/2. There's also a hub and drum that fits if you need brakes...
view full answer... - How to Tell if Trailer has a BT8 or BTR Spindle InstalledA BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have dimensions of 1.06 inch for outer and inner bearing plus 1.50 inch where grease seal would install. That would require an idler hub part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K.
view full answer... - Replacement 5 On 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Boat Trailer Hub for 1 Inch SpindleBefore proceeding, I'd take a moment to confirm the spindle diameter, because there are two different bearing sets that are very close in dimension, so you'll want to be absolutely sure of the measurement you get. We recommend using a digital caliper like part # PTW80157. When dealing with specifying spindle/bearing ID dimensions a ruler or measuring tape typically won't provide enough accuracy which is why using a caliper is preferred. If your spindle measures 1 inch, your hub uses...
view full answer... - Replacing Hub for Reliable Sure-Lube Hub on Calkins Boat TrailerThe brand of hub does not matter but what you do need to match up when selecting a new hub are the weight capacity (based on the axle's rating), the set of bearings used in the hub and the wheel bolt pattern to match your trailer wheels. I linked for you our main page for trailer hubs where you can click on the filters to choose your hub type (idler or hub/drum), axle rating, bearings, weight capacity and other features. For a boat trailer you will be better off with a galvanized type...

view full answer... - Replacement Hubs for 1997 FLOE Pro 100 Plus Snowmobile TrailerLuckily, FLOE International is still around. I was able to find that your 10 foot tilt single axle snowmobile trailer used an L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing. Your snowmobile trailer was equipped from the factory with idler hubs that had a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Due to its being exposed to harsh winter conditions and possibly road salt, going with a galvanized hub would be recommended versus a painted hub like the # 34822545BX you'd looked at. I'd go with part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K,...

view full answer... - Replacement Hubs for Boat Trailer with L44549 Inner and Outer BearingsI'm guessing you actually have bearings # L44649 and you either mistyped or the bearing number is difficult to read. Having # L44649 as both the inner and outer is a very popular combination on 2,000 pound axles. If you need to verify to be sure this is what you have measure the inner diameter of the bearings with a digital caliper, like part # PTW80157. It should meaure 1.063 inches. I've also done some research and found that bearing L44549 has the same dimensions as # L44649 so it...
view full answer... - Are the Races Pressed Into the HubYes, the races come pressed in the hub. You will only have to insert and pack the bearings (check out part # L70025) and press in the grease seal. A hammer and a small block helps when tapping in the grease seal. We also have a 7-Piece installation set, part # PTW83020, that comes in handy if you do your own trailer maintenance.
view full answer... - Hub Bore Diameter of etrailer.com Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2KI went out to our warehouse and measured an outer bore diameter of 2-1/4 inches on the etrailer.com Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K that you referenced. The reason we don't typically list this dimension on our trailer hubs is because a vast majority of trailer wheels are lug centric and not hub centric, which just means that the wheels are secured by the lugs instead of centered on the hub. Because of this the only thing you need to make sure of is that your wheels have a...

- Replacement Hub Assembly For Unique Products -1062-1Since your spindle is 1-1/16" diameter it uses inner and outer bearing # L44649, and the 1-3/8" means it uses grease seal # 13194. For a replacement hub you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K you were looking at, but you will need to order grease seal # 13194 for each hub and use it instead of the included grease seal, as the included seal has an inside diameter of 1-1/2" instead of 1-3/8". I included a few videos of...
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.

Both are for 2,000 lb axles and have a grease seal that measures 1.50" inner diameter which I recommend ensuring you have. Here are the options: - 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern: Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K - 4 on 4" Bolt Pattern:...

You will want to confirm that your existing hubs have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern. I was unable to find any information with the 6289103 number you provided. The galvanized hub assembly I recommend is the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K. If you do not have an EZ lube axle, you can use # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K. If your hubs have a 4 on...
view full answer... - Hub Recommendation to Replace Hub with L44649 Bearings Thanks for the dimensions and bolt pattern you listed from your current hubs. With that info I can help you pick out the hub you would need. For an idler hub (no trailer brakes) we have the part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K which will fit your spindle or for a hub with at brake drum we have the part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K which is a fit as well. The bearings are not made in the USA but at this time there really isn't any US made bearing options for trailers.
view full answer... - All Other InquiriesIt very well may be possible for you to swap out the 4 lug hubs on your pop-up for a 5 lug hub. It comes down to what size spindle/bearings are currently on the trailer. A lot of pop up campers will use a light duty axle rated for 3,500 lbs or less. For example a very common one is a 2,000 lb rated axle, which has a straight spindle and uses either the # L44643 (1" inner diameter) or the # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) bearings. If you are able to remove one of the hubs you can measure...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hub for 1.06 Inch Straight Spindle on Boat TrailerBased on the 1.06 inch measurement you provided for your trailer spindles, you need a replacement hub assembly that uses the # L44649 inner and outer bearing. It might also be a good idea just to verify this by pulling an existing hub and checking for the bearing numbers that should be stamped onto the bearings themselves. For your trailer, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-257-5UC3-EZ if you have brakes on the trailer or # 8-258-5UC1-EZ for an idler hub. Since...

Since you need # L44643 bearings with an ID of 1" and a 4 on 4 bolt pattern the correct part would be the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K. If you have an easy grease/EZ Lube axle then you would need the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-1K instead.

- Replacement 5Lug Hub with L44649 Inner and Outer BearingsWe have exactly what you need with both a black powder coat finish # 8-258-5UC1 as well as a galvanized finish # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K. These kits come with replacement bearings, a seal, a grease cap, and the matching lug nuts so as long as your spindle is in good shape you'll just have to pack the bearings into the hub and you'll be good to go!

- Recommended Timbren Axle-Less System for Trailer Used for Salt WaterThe 400 lb Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # A4WS440 has a standard black powder coat finish that does a good job protecting against the elements, but salt water will definitely be pretty harsh to this set so instead I recommend going with the kit # ASR400S02-G instead which uses a galvanized finish instead of the black powder coat. A galvanized finish will definitely hold up better to salt water and to help extend the lifespan of this kit I also recommend to spray down your...
