Saltwater and wet roads can ruin ordinary hubs fast. This DeeMaxx idler hub is built from galvanized steel for lasting corrosion resistance in marine use. It’s made for 3,500-lb axles with #84 spindles and holds up whether you’re launching into saltwater or towing through rainy conditions. The durable finish helps stop rust before it starts so you can keep rolling season after season.
No more hammering in races or trying to get them seated just right. The DeeMaxx hub comes with both inner (L68111) and outer (L44610) races already pressed in at the factory. All you need to add are the bearings, grease seal, and cap—then you’re ready to mount it up. It’s a clean setup that saves time and keeps everything aligned from the start.
This hub can be run as a standard idler or paired with a 10" slip-on rotor for disc brake setups. That flexibility makes it easy to refresh your current setup or prep for a brake upgrade down the road. The 1/2"-20 x 2" wheel studs are long enough for over-the-hub rotors or thicker custom wheels, giving you room to build out your trailer the way you want it.
With a 1,750-lb weight capacity per hub, this assembly is ready for steady towing and long runs. It’s designed for 13", 14", 14-1/2", and 15" wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and uses standard bearings—inner L68149 (1.378") and outer L44649 (1.063")—sold separately. Sturdy, straightforward, and dependable, it’s built to keep your trailer rolling smooth mile after mile.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this DeeMaxx Galvanized Trailer Idler Hub. Now, this is a marine-grade trailer hub that's going to fit your idler axles. It also can be paired with an over-the-hub 10 inch diameter rotor for your disc brake applications. This does have a galvanized steel construction, so it is gonna be very durable and corrosion resistant, will be great for your boat, trailers, or your snowmobile trailers. This does have a weight capacity that will make it ideal for your 3,500 pound capacity axles with the #84 spindles.
The wheel studs here are half inch in diameter by two inches long with that 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Having those long studs is going to allow you to mount an over-the-hub brake rotor or a custom wheel with a thick mounting face, and so that's going to give you lots of options there. The races are included, you have both your inner and your outer races. For those of you who would like that information, you can see those race numbers on the screen there. The bearings as well as the grease seal are not included, but you can see the compatible bearing numbers and that grease seal number there on the screen.
So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for getting that picture to me Jonathan. I wanted to confirm with DeeMaxx that they do measure the standard way, and they do. It would be from under the stud head, or as Jesse from DeeMaxx put it, "We measure from the underside of the mushroom head to the end of the bolt.. Thats a common practice." Do you need a return label?

Follow-up 2-year post after my 1-year post. Paint is still tightly adhered. Hubs are working just fine. Grease does ease out the grease caps, but I think that is expected for hubs with grease fittings.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Hubs and Drum?

I am very sorry to hear that, Jonathan. Can you please respond directly to the email you receive with a picture showing the measurement you got? I would like to compare your measurement with the stock in the warehouse. Were you able to use the hub, or did the length make it not usable?
