Features to know about

Built to Handle Saltwater: Galvanized Zinc Protection

Rust is one of the biggest headaches when it comes to trailer hubs, especially around saltwater. This Dexter hub assembly is marine-grade and galvanized for long-term corrosion resistance. The zinc plating has a 500-hour salt spray rating, meaning it can handle constant exposure to the elements without breaking down. Whether you’re dunking a trailer at a boat ramp or pulling through slushy roads, this coating keeps the hub in solid shape.

Everything You Need in One Package: Complete Hub Assembly

No need to track down separate components. This kit includes both inner and outer bearings (L44649), matching races (L44610), grease seal (10-9 with 1.5" inner diameter and 1.987" outer diameter), grease cap, and galvanized lug nuts. It’s designed for 2,200-lb axles with BTR spindles and fits wheels from 13" to 15". With a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" wheel studs that are 2" long, it’s ready to install right out of the box.

Straightforward Fit for Quick Replacement: Standard BTR Spindle Setup

Getting the right fit matters most when you’re stuck roadside or rebuilding an older trailer. This hub works with standard BTR spindles using L44649 bearings on both inner and outer sides—each with a 1.063" diameter. That makes sizing and replacement simple, even for older or mixed setups. Just confirm your spindle measurements and slide the hub into place for a snug, reliable fit.

Durability You Can Count On: Built for Long Hauls

Each hub carries a weight capacity of 1,100 lbs and a flange diameter of 6-1/2". That means solid performance mile after mile under steady use. The durable construction holds up to repeated launches, heavy towing, and rough conditions without giving up its smooth rotation or tight seal.

Compact Backup Solution: Ideal Spare Hub for Emergencies

When bearing failure happens on the road, having a spare can make all the difference. This pre-assembled Dexter hub packs easily in your tow vehicle so you can swap it out fast when needed. Since it’s already equipped with bearings, seal, cap, and lug nuts, it’s a ready-to-go spare that prevents downtime and gets you rolling again quickly.

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"

Hubs are great, fit and finish are great. I ordered the right size for my axle.

by:
great service,dealt with John......He did a great job,will buy from them in future. !! Thank you !!
by:
I live in California and my shipment was sent to Boston Mass. The rep told me that when they find it in Boston , they would have it sent from there to California, which would take another five days. I needed it in three days as they promised not in eight. Horrible that customer service thought this was adequate.
by:
Sarah was a great help I almost ordered the wrong one so thank you !!
by:
Everything was in the box except the bearings. Customer service is shipping the bearings. Just inconvenient.
by:
Overall I would rate this product as good. My only issue with them is that the hub cap is really thin and cheap. It basically caved-in during installation. I would recommend buying a better set of hub covers if you purchase these hub kits.

everything is good after a year

by:
Bought a teardrop camper used, noticed the OEM hub bearing seals had begun to seep grease. Replaced them both quickly and easily with this kit. We camp on BLM land up barely maintained fire roads and these are holding up very nicely. And the customer service here is excellent.
by:
I ordered two of these hub kits for my boat trailer. They arrived on the day first estimated.
I would have rated them five stars if the bearings were not packed loosely into a plastic bag with seals, lug nuts, and grease caps. The seals are also clearly a lesser grade. I did not use them.
Everything assembled and went on fine though.
by:
Bearing went out after a few months due to bad seal. Wish I took a pic at the time, but had to fix it as asap with a spare. Customer service responded quickly , but should've provided a discount for an obvious manufacturing defect. Quick shipping
by:
All is good!
by:
Perfect fit for my Hyde Drift Boat Trailer. Easy to install. I was in a hurry and selected the most inexpensive shipping, which i didn't realize was USPS. Go with the UPS 2 Day!
by:
Great advice from etrailer. Everything fits and easy to install. Love the fact that the hubs are galvanized.
by:
I replaced the axle and hubs on my old trailer. I wanted to lower the height of my trailer. These items worked great. A year later I’ve had no issues with these components.
by:
I'm rebuilding an axle on my trailer that I haul my bobcat and tractor on. I found all the parts I needed and they were shipped on time. It saved me a lot of time to have them shipped to my plant. We are in a rural area. I will be using etrailer for all my trailer needs.
by:
Everything fit as it should and have held up so far with no issues. Very happy with this and every other i have had with etrailer.com
by:
The "Galvanized" coating wore off in spots during shipping so not sure how well it'll hold up over time. Other wise good quality and perfect fit.
by:
One assembly shipped with the wrong bearings. The other had damaged bearings.. I wasn't happy with the hoops i had to jump through to get the correct bearings. The hub and bearings were simply shrink wrapped together and shipped in a box, so the carrier likely damaged the bearings. But etrailer could have definitely packed these better.

Nothing else wrong with the products and a few weeks later I received the right bearings after shipping back the bent up ones. Just a pain in the ass to wait and have a company question my integrity about some $[XX] bearings... oh and rear seals didn't match up to my spindle. I purchased those elsewhere.
etrailer asked for this review 6 months after my purchase date.

  • Replacement Hub for 1989 Ranger Trailer
    Judging by your photo, your trailer would use an idler hub, not a hub drum. Assuming you have 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt circle wheels that use an # L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing, you have a few choices. Rather than the painted hub, I'd recommend going with a galvanized hub for greater corrosion resistance. Dexter hubs are manufactured in the US, which is what I'd recommend. For an 8, 10 or a 12 inch wheel, use # 8-259-50UC1 for a standard spindle or # 8-259-50UC1-EZ for the EZ Lube...

    Would you be able to clarify specifically what you are referencing in terms of depth from the edges of Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-258-50UC1? Do you mean the depth of the inside of the hub bore, the total length (depth of the hub bore) or a different measurement?

    Since you said your boat trailer has a 2,200 lb axle capacity and a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern the correct replacement hub you'd need is the part # 8-258-50UC1 that you referenced.

  • Correct Hub Assembly for Dexter 8-258 Hub and 13-Inch Wheels
    With axle 8-258, your bearings are either # L44643 or # L44649. # L44643 bearings have an inner diameter of 1 inch, while bearings # L44649 have an inner diameter of 1.063 inches. You can locate the bearing numbers on the bearings themselves, or you can measure the diameter using the image I've attached. We offer two hub assembly kits with # L44643 bearings. Item # 8-258BTUC1 is the standard hub assembly kit, which includes lug nuts, inner bearings and race, outer bearings and race, grease...

  • Replacement Idler Hub For Tie Down 11029C On 1-1/16" Straight Spindle with 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern
    You will need either the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,200-lb Axles # 8-259-50UC1 for 8-12" wheels or the Assembly # 8-258-50UC1 for 13-15" wheels. Both these hubs use the 1-1//16" Bearing # L44649 for inner and outer bearings. And they use a Grease Seal # 10-9 (1.50" inner diameter).

  • Can Boat Trailer With Shorelander Hub 4470337 go From 12 Inch to 13 Inch Tires & Wheels
    Okay, we definitely have a solution for you here, and I'll start with the clearance; with trailer tires you need to have 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail. For reference, a 5.30-12 tire (when inflated) is 5.6" wide and 21.9" diameter, and a 175/80-13 tire is 7" wide and 24.1" in diameter. So you can use those measurements (1.4" or a little more than 1-3/8" wider as well as 2.2"...

  • Trailer Hub that Fits 1 inch or 1-1/6 inch Diameter Spindle
    We have hubs that are designed to fit spindle diameters that you mentioned of 1 inch and 1-1/6 inch. If you have a straight spindle with a 1 inch diameter you'd have a BT8 spindle and the hub part # 8-258BTUC1 that you referenced would fit. If you have a spindle with a straight diameter of 1-1/6 inch then you'd have a BTR spindle and would want a # 8-258-50UC1. The diameter of the spindle where the seal would ride on either would be 1.25 inch. If you can verify your spindle dimensions...

  • New Grease Seal Leaked After Installation of Bearing Buddies with Hub Kit # 8-248-50UC1
    Thank you for your recent purchase from etrailer. The grease seal included with this hub kit has an inner diameter of 1.500-inches and an outer diameter of 1.987-inches. This seal should be fully seated into the rear bore of the hub so that it is flush with the back hub surface. The grease seal leak you experienced could come from the seal not being fully seated into the hub, or it could, as you noted, be a result of the over-filling of your Bearing Buddies. If this hub does not have...

  • Does Grease Cap Included with # 8-258-50UC1-EZ Hub Act Like A Bearing Buddy
    The # 8-258-50UC1-EZ Idler Hub Assembly you referenced includes the grease cap for an EZ Lube spindle. An EZ Lube spindle has a zerk fitting in the end of it so grease can quickly and easily be added to the hub. The rubber plug in the center of the grease cap is removable to allow access to the grease zerk. This particular hub can be used if you have a standard spindle with no grease zerk, but a standard hub is available as part # 8-258-50UC1. This hub includes a standard grease cap. Bearing...

  • Choosing Between Painted or GAL-DEX Coated Version of Dexter Trailer Hub
    The GAL-DEX coated version of the hub you referenced is part # 8-258-50UC1. There is a very small price differential between the painted and the GAL-DEX version. The GAL-DEX coating can withstand a continuous 500 hour exposure to salt spray before corrosion sets in. In my opinion, the extra corrosion protection is well worth the small increase in price.

Also it shows that the grease seal # 10-9 works on both the 4 lug and 5 lug assembly. The seal has an inner diameter of 1.500 inches and an outer diameter...

  • Replacement Trailer Hub for 2018 Shorelandr SLR22L Boat Trailer
    I did some research on a 2018 Shorelandr SLR22L ad it looks as if it comes with a 2,200 lb axle. In order to confirm this, you'll need to check the axle tag sticker on the axle tube or reach out to the trailer manufacturer with your VIN. If the above is correct, you most likely need the Trailer Hub Assembly part # 8-258-50UC1 which uses L44649 bearings.
