Determining Bolt Pattern

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.

Center to Center
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).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Customer service representative was helpful. She was amazing.
by:
First of all - the information on your web site made everything possible.
Second: I could have just as easily laid out the cash and had the local marine shop take care of it; however, since the trailer belonged to my daughter, I decided to make this a father/daughter repair. Although she is a practicing RN with very little mechanical proclivity, she is a quick study and together with your web site information, we accomplished the task in less than an hour.
Thank you etrailer.

Arrived with a 1 1/4" grease seal instead of the correct 1 1/2". Sent me the correct grease seal, but not the tool necessary to change them out. I had to do the work myself in addition to 14.00 for the tool. Glad I did because the bearings were NOT packed with grease, just a blob on the outside. I thought I read they were made in US. They are not. Made in China.

This is now, two different orders that I have placed with this Company. I am thoroughly impressed and grateful for their fast, efficient service, the wide range of products, and the speed at which they get your order shipped. Prices are great, too!

Working great! Putting many miles with this boat trailer.

by:
Product looks solid. Went on as planned. Be aware that this does not include the washer that goes between the outer bearing and the spindle nut. I assumed it did. Product description is not clear that this isn't included. I assumed it was. I used the washer from the old hubs I was replacing so no problem.
by:
Install went well, product seems to be of good quality. Not enough miles to give any feedback of how long it lasts
by:
Other than the long phone wait, everything else was excellent. I was very happy they had my hard to find part at the going rate & with quick delivery.
by:
Exactly what I ordered made with quality materials!

Quality parts and a perfect fit

If you have a UFP/DICO 45263 hub (commonly found on 2013 Heritage/Tracker trailers with the original Vault oil-bath system), a successful replacement is:
CE Smith CE13315 galvanized pre-greased hub assembly
Replace the included grease seal with 13194 (1.372" ID × 1.979" OD)
Spindle uses L44649 inner and outer bearings
5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern
13" trailer wheels
This combination has been successfully installed as a direct replacement for the original Unique BT/UFP Vault hub.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Hubs and Drum?
  • Replacement Hubs For EZ Loader Trailer With 2,500 lb Axles
    Hello George, thanks for reaching out. We certainly should have a hub option for you. I see that your trailer has a 2,500 lb axle. We do carry hubs for this, but there are a few possible options depending on what bearings/spindle size your trailer uses. Sadly, there is no way to use the VIN to look this up. It likely uses either a 1" straight spindle, but it will be best if you remove a hub and verify this. Provided your spindle is the 1" diameter, the correct hubs will be the following: -...

  • Preassembled Galvanized Trailer Idler Hub w/ a 5 on 4-1/2 and L44643 Bearings
    The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly item # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K isn't preassembled but we have one that is. It is the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly item # CE13215. These are sold individually. It has the same bearing sizes item # L44643, is also galvanized, and has a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern.

  • Replacement Hub Assembly for 2016 Triton LTWCI Series Trailer
    According to Triton your trailer uses their 08353 axle with 11228 bearings which are the same as the # L44643. For a marine-grade replacement hub I recommend the # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K. This comes with everything including the bearings and grease seal. If you want a pre-greased option then the # CE13215 is also available.

  • Replacement Hub for EZ Loader Trailer with Knott Axle
    I do have some options for you but we can't really reference any of these numbers. The best way to determine the correct replacement hub/drum would be with the bearing number and you can either pull apart the hubs and looks for these numbers on the bearings or measure them. If the axle is rated under 3,500 lbs then odds are it uses L44643 bearings which measure 1" diameter. In which case you could use the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # CE13215 which has a 5-lug design. I have...

  • Identifying Nut Used For Hub Installation On Boat Trailer With AutoFlex-Knott Axle
    What you have there is a Knott axle with Knott hubs. The bearings in these hubs are sealed so you won't be able to grease your bearings. It is also secured with a one time use flange nut so if you remove it you will have to replace it with a new one to reinstall your hub assembly. If you need to replace the sealed bearings or removed that flange nut you will have to get the replacement parts from the manufacturer. If you want to replace the hubs with a traditional hub assembly you would...

  • How to Determine Which Axle You Have On a Small Trailer
    Brian, you can check and see if your axle still has the tag on it. That would tell you what axle you have pretty easily and you won't have to remove anything. The other options would require you to remove your hubs and measure your spindle to see what bearings / seals fit on it which would also tell us what size axle you have.

  • Galvanized Hub With L44643 Bearings For 8 Inch Wheel
    While there is a similar option for you, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K is only for 10" to 12" wheels. For an option that will work with 8" wheels, uses the same L44643 bearings, and is galvanized, what you need is the following: - CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 2.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized - Pre-Greased # CE13215 The # CE13215 says it is for 2,500 lb axles, but fits the exact same spindle as the...

  • Looking For Replacement For Idler Hub Part 94545
    Hello Jamie. We definitely should have a hub that you can use as a replacement. I was not able to find any good references for the hub part number 94545 though, so I will need a bit more information from you in order to recommend a replacement. Specifically, I will need to know the bearing sizes that your hub uses. Your best bet will be to jack up the trailer, pull one of the hubs and remove the bearings. Each bearing will have a number stamped on the edge. It appears to be a 5 lug 5...
