Corrosion Resistance for Marine Use

This trailer hub assembly has a zinc coating that resists corrosion, making it ideal for use on your boat or snowmobile trailer. All GAL-DEX hubs undergo a test in which they are sprayed with a 5-percent salt solution to determine corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 500 hours of constant exposure to the saltwater mist. This 500-hour salt spray rating indicates that a product is not only durable enough to last in freshwater environments, but it can also be used on trailers that come into contact with saltwater.


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.


Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)


Bolt Pattern Side

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"

  • 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...

  • Replacement Hubs for 2000 Coleman Sedona
    Sometimes the numbers wear off of the bearings in trailer hubs but what you can do instead is use the diameter of the spindle where the bearings ride to determine what would be correct replacement. Use this picture as a guide and let me know what you have and I'll help: https://images.etrailer.com/static/images/pics/q/u/qu87803_800.jpg

  • Looking for Replacement Hub Drum to Replace Dexter 8-259
    Hey Raypeebles, we have the exact replacement hub you are looking for with the part # 8-259-5UC1-EZ. We also have a galvanized version of this hub with the part # 8-259-50UC1 as well if you are wanting to prevent corrosion. Will the trailer see saltwater?

  • Why is My New Dexter Idler Hub Have a 1-2mm Gap at Spindle Where Bearing Goes?
    Hello Greg, Well that's not good. I see that the Dexter Idler Hub # 8-259-50UC1 has bearings for a straight spindle with both inner and outer bearing L44649 (I am hoping the 44549 was a typo) with inner diameter 1.063". It is very possible that your spindle could be worn. Can you please use something like a digital caliper # PTW80157 to confirm that is the measurement you are getting on your spindle? I know it is a pain to get those greasy bearings out, but if you could please measure...

  • 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).

  • Replacement Hub For Swapping To Grease Over Oil Bath Hubs On 2008 Floe Versa Max Snowmobile Trailer
    Based on the information I was able to find for your 2008 Floe Versa Max snowmobile trailer it looks like it uses the # L44649 Bearings, and Seal 151972KBN. This will allow you to replace the hubs with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-259-50UC1 as long as your axles have not been modified or replaced from the time they left the factory. You can confirm this hub will fit by measuring the spindle for a 1.063" straight spindle. The included grease seal fits a 1.5" landing above the...

  • Replacement Hubs/Wheel Studs/Bearings Races for Triton Triton XT14-101-1 Trailer
    In order to spec the correct replacement wheel studs, I'd need the dimensions from one of your existing wheel studs, as shown in the provided diagram. I spoke with the nice folks at Triton Trailers to find the specifics about your existing hubs. For a replacement hub, I'd recommend part # 8-259-50UC1 which is compatible with a 2200 lb axle. The hub has a galvanized finish to resist corrosion, and includes the inner and outer L44649 wheel bearing, and has the L44610 races pre-installed....

  • Replacement Hub And Bearing Kit For A Loadrite WV2200L Double Jetski Trailer
    Hey Brent, I can definitely point you in the right direction. I do not have a way look up a model of trailer to know exactly what hubs you will need though. If you can tell me the weight capacity of your axle and/or the bearing sizes for your hub I can recommend the correct service kit. For example, if your trailer has a 2,200 lb axle with the standard 1-1/16" straight spindle, the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-259-50UC1 will be the correct replacement hub. The bearing kit will...

  • Where To Find Numbers For Replacement Bearings On Utility Trailer
    Since the axle you have is a Dexter Model 8259 you can choose one of the hub assemblies we offer from the attached product page. If you have an EZ-Lube axle on your trailer you may want to check out part # 8-259-5UC1-EZ, or part # 8-259-50UC1-EZ. If you do not have an EZ-Lube axle take a look at part # 8-259-5UC1 or part # 8-259-50UC1. I have attached links to some product review videos for these kits you can take a look at.

  • Selecting Replacement Hubs for 1963 Travel Trailer
    Thank you for the information from your vintage travel trailer's existing hub assembly. This is likely a casting number and will not give us what we need to find you correct replacement hubs, but it is not hard to determine correct new hubs. You will definitely want to replace both hubs. Things you need to match up are the hub bolt pattern, the axle weight rating and the bearing numbers.

  • Replacement Hubs for 1994 Coleman Destiny Pop-Up Camper Trailer
    Thank you for providing the details about your 1994 Coleman Destiny's axle and hubs. It is often a lot easier to just replace the complete hub than to pry out the old bearings and races and to re-install everything. New hubs also give you the confidence that comes from knowing all your components are new and in good shape. On the page I linked you can view all compatible idler hubs in your 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern that are rated for a 2200-lb axle. All of these idler hubs use your L44649...

    Thanks for the information you gave. I recommend the Trailer Hub Assembly for 8" to 12" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 with GAL-DEX Coating # 8-259-50UC1. These Dexter assemblies have a galvanized coating to assist since your trailer is going to be used in water. You may also want to consider the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A-SS w/ Auto Check - Stainless Steel (Pair) # BB1980A-SS which will protect your bearings while submerged in water or salt water. These have a built in grease...

  • 5 Lug Hub That Can Fit Spindle with BTR Dimensions
    Thanks for the picture you included that has the dimensions of your spindle. Based on that you do have a BTR spindle so for a hub with the 5 lug bolt pattern you wan you'd need the # 8-259-50UC1 and you'd be set. Your spindle not having a grease fitting is also not a big deal at all. That does not affect the fit of the hub to the spindle at all.

From the information you gave me it sounds like you're needing the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,200-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8-259-50UC1, but I do recommend pulling your hub and checking the part numbers on the bearings and seal or measuring the spindle where the bearings and seal ride to make sure it fits. Here are the bearings and seal used for this hub: Inner and outer bearings - L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) Grease seal - 10-9 (1.5" inner diameter...

  • Replacement Hub and Bearing Recommendations for Trailer Hub with L44649 Bearings
    Since both of your bearings are # L44649 you would want a coated hub like the part # 8-259-50UC1 since this is for a boat trailer. This hub has a Gal-Dex coating to fight corrosion. This hub has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If instead you have 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ. Or for just the bearings you would want the part # L44649 that I mentioned. Or for a bearing kit with new seals and races you would want part # BK1-150. The included seal is a...

  • Looking for Replacement Hubs for Boat Trailer with 1.06 Inch Diameter Spindles
    Since you successfully measured your spindles, it sounds like you might have a digital caliper lying around somewhere. Measure the hub bore (inside diameter of hub where grease cap sits). If this diameter is 1.98 inches, your existing bearings are # L44649, in which case the # 8-258-5UC1 hub you referenced would indeed be a correct replacement. Since the hubs are going on a boat trailer, I'd recommend you use galvanized hubs like part # 8-259-50UC1. The hubs are identical to the ones you...

  • Replacement Axle for Smaller Boat Trailer with 1,800 lb Capacity
    The CE Smith axle part # CE33201GA is the correct axle for your trailer based on all of the specs you mentioned. For a hub that can fit the smallest diameter wheel size you'd want the part # 8-259-50UC1 which can fit wheels down the 10 inch diameter. Then for a 10 inch wheel and tire you could use the part # AM3H490 and you'd be set. The closest leaf spring to what you mentioned is the part # SP-113275 which is for a 2,000 lb capacity axle and is 23-1/2 inches long. You might need to...

    Thanks for the info you listed for your Lippert axle. Based on that I can tell you have a 2,200 lb trailer axle that has hubs that have a wheel bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches so for a hub you'd want the Dexter part # 8-259-50UC1. Dexter hubs fit on Lippert axles and are widely considered to be the best made hubs. If you wanted just a bearing kit you would want the part # BK1-150. The hub I mentioned does come with bearings.

A galvanized version isn't offered, but there's one available in a 5 lug on 4-1/2 bolt circle, part # 8-259-50UC1 for 8-12 inch wheels or # 8-258-50UC1 for 13-15 inch wheels.
