E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-Compatible Assembly 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"

Purchased for a spare hub assembly to carry in vehicle for possible bearing or seal failure during fishing trips. Much easier to get back on road versus seal and bearings replacement on road.

etrailer is a great place, and has excellent sales people who are knowledgeable and patient with folks who don't know quite what they need. Highly recommended.

Product was a great fit, easy to install if you know what you are doing. Took only 10 minutes to repack bearings and assemble.
by: Ron08/11/2022
Though supply chain issues slowed down my original order, etrailer found a suitable substitute, and even saved me some money in the process. I don’t do a lot of work on trailers, but when I do, I know where I’ll be getting my parts.
by: Lance 10/02/2022
Used an axle conversion kit to ‘flip’ the axle on my ‘08 Forrest River pop up and give it a lift. Put on the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub for 2K Axles - 13" to 15" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased from etrailer, then switched the 12” stock tires to Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" Silver Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C to lift it a little more while also putting a sturdier tire on. Works great!

Took forever to ship and still not deli vered
by: Shane 07/23/2020
The hubs arrived in a timely manner and were well packaged. Etrailer was great when I contacted them with installation questions. Hubs have been installed for about a year and are working perfectly.
by: Walt08/08/2019
Received parts yesterday and everything arrived in excellent condition. Without etrailer's helpful guides it would have taken a lot longer to identify the correct Hub's and bearing's that I needed for my jet ski trailer. I always go to etrailer for my trailer needs!!!! I have a jet ski trailer, boat trailer, and 36.5 foot 5th wheel camper. So I'm always needing parts!!!
by: Riddle02/04/2017
We pack the bearings in these hubs and carry them along for spare, ready to install on the trailer if bearing goes bad while on the road. We use these trailers for trips from northern Indiana to south florida, than to Iowa. Then back to Indiana. So its a lot faster to just change the whole hub when you have trouble.

Good product, good price. Jenny B was very helpful and knowledgeable, to ensure I received the correct part. Just what I needed for my enclosed motorcycle trailer.
by: Daniel05/15/2022
Excellent kit. Simply take off old hub and slide the new hub on. Comes pre-packed with what appears to be Lubrimax (green) marine grease.
by: John 01/30/2020
Great price, good quality. This is the same hube as AKIHUB-545-2-2k, but NOT pre-assembled and pre-greased. Perfect if you want to do this work yourself or need to do work on the hubs prior to usage.

- Replacement Hub Components For Drift Boat Trailer With BTR Spindle I do see you previously purchased the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K. This uses the Bearing Kit # BK1-150 if you only need the bearings and seals. Otherwise you also got a Spindle Nut # 165686, Spindle Washer # 5-101, Washer # SW1000 and Cotter Pin # 165649

I've linked the complete selection that fits with your # L44649 bearings. Which ones are exactly the right ones depend on your trailer's wheel size and if it has brakes or EZ lube spindles: Idler hubs 12 inch or smaller wheels: Standard spindles - # AKIHUB-545-2-2K EZ lube - # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K Idler hubs 13 to 15 inch wheels: Standard spindles - # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K EZ lube - # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K Hub and drums for brakes: Standard spindles...
view full answer... - How to Choose Correct Replacement Trailer Hub with 5 on 4-1/2 Inch Bolt PatternIf you're looking for a replacement trailer hub then you likely need a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern as there aren't any 5 on 4-1/4" bolt patterns when it comes to trailers. I've attached a link to some helpful articles to help you verify your bolt pattern. Once you know the bolt pattern you'll also need to make sure you have the correct size hub. Sometimes this can be verified by looking at the weight capacity of your axle and going off of that but the best way to go about this is confirm...

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

- 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..

My recommendation is to replace the spindle with the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 1-1/4" Diameter # TRU44FR and then use hubs like the following options based on your bolt pattern: -Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 4 on 4 - L44649 Bearings - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K -Trailer Idler Hub for 2K E-Z Lube Axles - 13" to 15" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K This will...

- Difference Between Hubs Designed For 8-10 Wheels and Hubs Designed For 13-15 WheelsThe difference between a hub that fits a 8-10" wheel like part # 34822545BX and 13-15" wheels like part # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K is normally the hub diameter but that is not always the case. Some hubs are designed for larger wheels because the diameter of the idler hub is larger. Some manufacturers label their hubs to only be used with certain wheel sizes. The AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K hub that fits 13-15" wheels is 6.25" compared to Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles part...
view full answer... - Recommended 5 on 4-1/2 Idler Hub for a Dexter D20 Axle Thanks for the picture and your patience! I just heard back from Dexter and your D20 axle uses the same inner and outer bearing of 1.063" which is item # L44649. I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles item # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K or item # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K if you have an EZ lube axle. Both of these idler hubs are sold individually and have a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern.
view full answer... - What's All Included With The Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-258-50UC1-EZWhen it comes to purchasing The Trailer Hub Assembly - 2,200-lb E-Z Lube Axle - 5 on 4-1/2 - 13 inch - 15 inch Wheels - Galvanized # 8-258-50UC1-EZ, the bearings, races, and grease seals are included but they do not come packed. Grease will need to be added for installation. The Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub for 2K Axles - 13 inch to 15 inch Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K comes with everything already packed and greased.

Since your spindle uses inner and outer bearing # L44649 the only hub and drum assembly that will fit is the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 2K E-Z Lube Axles - 7" - 5 on 4-1/2 - L44649 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K which is only compatible with wheels up to 12" in diameter, and would use Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" #...

- Replacing Hubs On a 4' X 6' Carry On Trailer From 4 on 4" Lugs to 5 on 4-1/2" Lug Pattern 15" WheelsYour current axle on your 4' X 6' Carry on Trailer will likely have either a BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR or BTR Spindle # TRU44FR. You can determine the spindle by removing your current hub and inspecting the bearings or by measuring the spindle itself. I have included a image that shows the locations of the bearing numbers and grease seals on your current hub as well as the measurement points for spindle as well. The BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR uses Bearings # L44643 which have an inner diameter...

- Replacement Hub Assembly Needed for 4,800 lb 1992 Ranger Trail Tandem Axle TrailerI have a way to help you find out what replacement hub assembly you need, but you'll need to verify some things on your end as I don't have a list of replacement parts for your trailer available. Since your 1992 Ranger Trail is a tandem axle trailer rated for 4,800 lbs this indicates that you have 2 axles rated at 2,000 lbs. For a replacement hub we have a few different options and it all depends on what bearings your trailer uses as well as what bolt pattern you have: 4 on 4" Bolt Pattern L44643...

- What would be the Best Option for an Axle to Install on a Small Trailer FrameI have a solution for you. However, with the 41 inch frame width, finding a one piece straight axle to fit this measurement will be difficult. I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, # ASR400S02. The Timbren axle-less system will mount to the frame of your trailer and will give you additional clearance under the center of your trailer. This system will replace the need for the leaf spring suspension. The Timbren system uses Aeon rubber springs that are will provide...
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...

This shouldn't be a problem, but you will need to know which bearings you have right now since these are different. They also have different bolt patterns so you will need to choose the right bolt pattern. The # AKIHUB-440-2-2K is designed to fit a BTR spindle and uses # L44649 inner and outer bearings. It has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. The # 8-258BTUC1 is for a BT8 spindle which uses # L44643 inner and outer bearings...
view full answer... - Pre Greased Hub that Fits 2,000 lb Trailer Axle with 14 inch WheelsYour trailer has 2,000 lb axles which is very common and also what the replacement hub part # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K that you referenced is designed to fit on. Since you have a 14 inch trailer wheel that also means the bolt pattern of this matches your wheel too. If you were to have a bearing or seal issue a pre-greased hub like this would be a very simple solution to swap onto the spindle instead of trying to replace the individual components.

I recommend using a digital caliper like item # PTW80157. You will want to measure the spindle and/or bearing inner dimensions to find the exact size. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 item # 34822545BX will work on your trailer if you trailer uses a inner bearing: L44643 (1" inner diameter) and an...

The hub includes the inner and outer bearing and race, the grease seal, the dust cap and the lug nuts. The hub has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. For a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, use # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K.

All the components are exactly the same. The only difference is the grease cap that comes with the EZ-Lube hub, # DC200L-DCRP, has a removable rubber plug, designed for easy access to the grease fitting on an EZ-Lube Spindle. Since your spindle does not have a grease fitting on the end, you would just leave the plug on the cap and use it...

This hub has an outer pilot diameter of 2.47 which will allow you to use your 15" wheels that have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 2.56" pilot hole diameter.
