Features to know about
Built to Last in Wet Conditions: Galvanized Steel Marine Protection
Water and corrosion are a constant battle for boat and utility trailers. This Kodiak hub uses durable galvanized steel with a zinc coating that resists rust, making it a solid choice for marine use. It stands up well to freshwater exposure and even limited saltwater contact. The finish helps extend the life of your hub so you can tow with confidence season after season.
Strong and Reliable Fitment: Designed for 3,500-lb Axles with #84 Spindles
A dependable connection is key when you’re hauling heavy loads. This hub fits 3,500-lb axles with #84 spindles and supports up to 1,750 lbs per hub. It uses the L68149 inner bearing (1.378" ID) and L44649 outer bearing (1.063" ID) so you can easily match it to standard spindle setups. The included L68111 and L44610 races are pre-installed to save time during assembly.
Ready for Brake or Idler Setups: Flexible Installation Options
Whether you’re running a straight idler axle or adding brakes, this hub gives you options. It’s built as a standard idler hub but can also be paired with a 10" slip-on rotor for disc brake applications. The 1/2"x2" wheel studs have enough length to handle an over-the-hub rotor or custom wheels with thicker mounting faces, so you can set up your trailer exactly how you want it.
Easy Matching with Common Wheels: 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern
Finding wheels that fit is simple thanks to the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern—one of the most common setups out there. Each stud is threaded 1/2"-20 UNF-2A for consistent torque and secure fastening. With compatibility across 13", 14", 14-1/2", and 15" wheels, this hub covers a wide range of trailer types without guesswork.
Built for Everyday Use: Simple, Tough Construction
From weekend hauling to long-term trailer projects, this hub’s straightforward design keeps things reliable. It includes pre-installed races and long, sturdy studs that stay tight under load. With its six-year warranty backing it up, this Kodiak hub gives you a dependable replacement or upgrade that keeps rolling mile after mile.

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.
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"

These hubs are not made in the USA. Big stamp on the back, Made in China. No place in the photos, videos or description does it tell you that they are made in China. If you want to return them you have to pay return shipping.

With the outer bearing races already installed, it was very easy to complete the assembly of the new hub. It took less than 10 minutes to add the rear inner bearing, tap in the rear dust shield, add the front inner race, install on the spindle, add grease and screw on the retaining nut. with the addition of the cotter pin and a dust cap the whole installation went without a hitch.

I am reviewing the components and etrailer as they are not installed yet. Online ordering was easy - I was contacted immediately with shipping time and tracking numbers - it all went really well. The components showed up on time and in good condition. The boxes were a little hammered but UPS does that. Thanks etrailer good service - good prices: what else do you want?

I purchased new bearings, hubs, brake rotor hubs, brake pads, grease caps with rubber inserts, wheels with tires mounted, center caps and lug nuts. All of it was shipped and received in 4 days with free shipping. I have made many large purchases from etrailer and referred them to many people. They have always been great to work with. The quality is very good and don't have one bad thing to say against them. They are my go to store for my utility trailer, enclosed trailer, camper, boat, and truck. Thanks etrailer!!

See what our Experts say about this Kodiak Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Hub for E-Z Lube Spindle on Boat TrailerIn order to determine if hub assembly 8-258-50UC1-EZ will work for you, first know that this assembly is for EZ Lube spindles that require a grease seal with a 1-1/2" inner diameter such as # RG06-020. You are also going to want to remove the hub and take a look at the bearing numbers to make sure your inner and outer bearings are # L44649. Normally that would be enough, but since you sanded the spindle, I also recommend you use a digital caliper such as # PTW80157 and measure the spindle...

- Can Galvanized Dexter 3,500 lb Hub 8-248-50 be Used on EZ Lube SpindleYes, the Kodiak Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # Q-HUB84545 that you referenced is perfectly compatible with EZ lube spindles. The only difference between the hubs that are EZ lube and non-EZ lube is the cap style. So for an EZ lube style cap that fits this hub you'd just need the part # DC200L-DCRP and you'd be set.

- What Size Bearing Buddy Do I Need for the Kodiak Trailer Hub for 3,500 lbs Axles Q-HUB84545?Hey William, welcome back. The Kodiak Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles item # Q-HUB84545 has a 1.98" hub bore. You'll need the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A-SS w/ Auto Check - Stainless Steel (Pair) item # BB1980A-SS. Is this for a boat trailer? If not you can use the chrome item # BB1980A. You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A Tie-Down Engineering Disc Brake HubI will start by saying that your TDE 11033L hub uses the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, which means you have a pretty standard #84 spindle on a 3,500 pound axle. With that said, we do not carry Tie Down Engendering products, so the actual hub will cause some difficulties. Especially being oil bath as hubs for this size axle were only ever really done by TDE. Just as an example, if you look at the Kodiak Trailer Hub # Q-HUB84545 that will fit the Kodiak 10" Rotor # KR10D,...

- Replacement Trailer Hub for 2003 Ranger Boat TrailerI do have options for you but I am not aware of any trailer hub or spindle for that matter that uses the L68149 bearing for both the inner and outer. Most likely, the L68149 is your inner bearing and the L44649 is your outer bearing but I do recommend you check this beforehand. I recommend the Trailer Hub part # Q-HUB84545 if that is the case which I am almost positive is. If you can give me the serial number on your axle I can double check the above for you.

It comes with the correct grease seals as well. For additional seals though you'd need the part # 10-9. For a replacement spindle you'd want the part # TRU44FR. If you need a wheel and tire we have the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM30660 which matches the size tire and...
view full answer... - What Replacement Trailer Bearings for 1995 Escort Trailers wt18pa and 18 Bayliner Capri BoatI did a little research and was able to find that the wt18pa used # L44649 outer bearing, # L68149 inner bearing, and the # 58846 grease seal. If you want to replace the entire hub you would use the Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # Q-HUB84545 for best corrosion resistance.
view full answer... - Dexter Hub Vs. Kodiak Hub ComparisonI would go with the Dexter part # 84545BX as Dexter has an excellent reputation and because the brackets where the wheel studs mount on this hub are thicker and tend to be less likely to crack when compared to other hubs that use thinner material there like the part # Q-HUB84545. I attached review videos for both hubs for you to check out as well.

- Replacement Galvanized Trailer Hub for Spindle with 1-3/8" and 1-1/16" MeasurementsThe best way to determine what hubs are going to fit your axle is by checking the bearing numbers that come out of the existing hubs; I'll also add that bearing inner diameters are measured down to the 1/100th of an inch and should be measured with a digital calipers like the # PTW80157.

- How to Pick Out Replacement Trailer Bearings and Seals for Trailer HubI really wish there was a way to determine what bearings a trailer needed without actually pulling the wheel off and checking, but there isn't. The only two solution I have for you would be to remove the hubs and get the numbers that are stamped on the bearing or for you to remove the hubs and use a digital or dial caliper to measure where the bearings and seal ride (see pic). To pick out a replacement grease seal you will need to measure the diameter of the spindle where the grease seal...

- Compatibility of 168255TB Grease Seal with Dexter 8-248-50 or Kodiak Q-HUB84545 Trailer Idler HubThe # 168255TB seal is slightly smaller in outside diameter, therefore it wouldn't fit tightly enough in the hub bore of the # Q-HUB84545 hub. The hub is designed to use either a 10-19 or a # 58846 grease seal. The hub you referenced has a 1.980 outer hub bore, so the Bearing Buddies you currently have will work fine. The hub uses a # L68149 inner and a # L44649 outer bearing. If the seal bearing surface of your spindles is about 1.719 inches, the hub would work just fine for you.

Instead you will need to go with the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS01 for your 1974 European Travel Trailer.
