Determining If Replacement Hub Is Available For Older Hub With Uncommon 5 on 4" Bolt Pattern  

Question:

Ive measured on center between 2 adjacent studs on my trailer and got 2 3/8inch and measuring across studs center to far edge got 4. Is this a lug pattern that is available or no?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Based on the measurements you got it does appear that your hub has the 5 on 4" bolt pattern of which there are not replacement wheels currently offered that would be compatible.

Instead your only option will be determining the bearing combination of your spindle to see if the hub can be replaced with one with a more common bolt pattern.

To do this you will need to remove one of the hubs and look for the bearing number stamped in the face of each bearing as shown in the included picture of the # L44649.

If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers you will need to use digital calipers # PTW80157 to precisely measure your spindle in the locations shown in the included diagram.

If you can provide the above information I would be happy to make a recommendation for you.
