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 are designed for use on trailer idler axles. Fits 2,500-lb axles. Inner bearings and races, outer bearings and race, grease seals, grease caps, and lug nuts included.by: Brian C02/27/2018
I purchased this idler hub assembly to replace the 27 year old hardware on my 1991 Coleman Fleetwood Sun Valley. I’ve never dealt with these types of products so I turned to etrailer since they literally have all the answers. After disassembling my hub I located my inner and outer bearings and called Greg at etrailer with the bearing numbers. He verified this was the right setup for me and that it would fit with my axle. The price was amazing for all of these items, especially when comparing to some of the $60 local quotes I got for bearings alone. I ordered this set and paid $18/19 shipping. I should have ordered a second set of grease seals for next time but I forgot. Anyways, the shipping (UPS) was delayed which was upsetting. When I got the package I was a little disappointed that it was basically just a bunch of parts tossed in a box. The bearings were 4 bearings in a sandwich bag, and all the other hardware was in a separate bag which somehow was torn and parts were scattered in the box. I guess when you buy this “set” someone from the warehouse just gathers the parts and puts them in a box? Also, there was no cotter pin or castle nut washer. I guess I assumed it would come with those but when I re-looked it up they’re not included. So I guess I should have ordered those at the same time, too. After a trip to the hardware store I cleaned everything up, packed my bearings and assembled the hubs onto my spindles. Everything went perfectly well and they fit and work great. I think there’s some room for packaging improvement but in the end it’s still a 5-star review.

The product is great, price is outstanding. The only problem we have is you won’t ship to Alaska. That’s right I live in Alaska, so every time I need your product, I have to have it shipped to a relitive and have them mail it to me. Will never understand why you guys have to charge an arm and leg to get your product up here. We are the United States really we are. That’s some to work on “Shiping to Alaska” cheep!!!

2 complete, good quality hubs for a great price.Only had to order different grease seals to make these fit my coleman popup.
by: Megan11/11/2021
The axles came in and where packed well. Installed them with no problems. The only issue I had was the instruction sheet says to torque nut to 200ft lbs then back off 1 turn then 50ft lbs then back off 1/4 turn. But from watching the installation videos you have on line they just tighten so the hub spins tightly then back off and finger tighten. 200 ft lbs is a bit extreme on a greased nut and bolt!

Fast shipping, excellent pricing and quality. Order cake shipped perfectly in a container that prevented any damage. I ordered tires and rims as well. The tires were installed on the rim and filled with air. Highly recommended.

See what our Experts say about this Timbren Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Replacement Hub and Spindle for 2014 Ranger TrailerIn order to find the correct replacement hub and spindle you will need to know the capacity of your axle along with the bearings you currently have. In order to find the size of the bearings you can look for part numbers on your existing bearings. If these have worn off, you will need to measure the bearings/spindle. See the diagram below showing where to measure. If you find that you have an inner diameter of 1.063" then you can use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,200-lb...

- What is the Length of the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # TA88545-2I went out to the warehouse and found that the total length of the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # TA88545-2 is 4-1/4". If you have a straight spindle with a diameter of 1-1/16" then the 2 # L44649 bearings should fit just fine, just note that the grease seal has an inner diameter of 1.50" so you will need to make sure that corresponds to what you have. If all of that checks out then this hub will fit! Always use the same grease that you used the last time that everything was greased. Different...

I'd recommend checking the bearing cages on your existing bearings for the reference number just to confirm. We offer 2500 lb capacity compatible idler hubs with a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. For a pre-greased hub compatible with a 4 on 4, I'd recommend the # CE13110 or for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, use part # CE13210. The hubs are sold individually, bearings,...

- Hubs for 2,500 Pound Axle with Straight 1 Inch SpindleThe Timbren Idler Hub Assembly # TA88545-2 referenced in your question is designed for 2,500 pound axles and it uses the # L44649 inner and outer bearing. This particular bearing features an inner diameter of 1.063 inches, so I highly recommend verifying the measurements you took on your spindle with a digital caliper. If you do have 2,500 pound axles and the spindle is in fact 1 inch exactly, then the correct idler hub assembly will actually be the CE Smith # CE13210. This hub uses the...

- Grease Seal Recommendation To Replace Seal with ID of 1.25 and Outer Diameter of 1.983The grease seal you need is the part # 34823. 4 thousandths of an inch is a tiny amount and realistically it's within the margin of error on the caliper you are using. This seal will work just fine and is the correct one for the hub you have. Ideally though you need to measure again and verify that you just maybe were slightly off with your initial measurement.
view full answer... - Will the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,500 Lb Axles Fit a Triton Snowmobile TrailerThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # TA88545-2 uses two L44649 bearings which measure 1.063" inner diameter. It's common on 2,500 lb axles so if this is what you have it will work. The other common bearing for this size trailer is a L44643 which measures 1" inner diameter and in which case you'd use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 34822545BX. I have attached a help article to look over with bearing measuring help.
