Refresh a wheel end without chasing parts. This idler hub kit has the bearings, races, and seal already greased and installed, plus everything else needed to complete the install so you can get rolling again.
Replacing a hub can turn into a mess when you still have to pack bearings and match small parts before the wheel goes back on. This idler hub is pre-greased with the bearings, races, and seal already installed, so you have less prep work before mounting it on a compatible 2,200-lb axle.
When bearing or hub trouble happens on the road, having a spare hub can keep the trip from stopping there. This pre-assembled Lippert hub packs easily in your tow vehicle, and because the bearings, races, seal, lug nuts, castrle nut, washer, cotter pin, and easy lube dust cap are included, it gives you a faster path to getting the trailer rolling again.
This hub fits 8" to 12" wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" zinc-plated wheel studs. It is made for idler wheel ends only and cannot be used with trailer brake systems.
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.)
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.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Lippert pre-greased trailer idler hub assembly. Now, this idler hub assembly kit is going to give you everything that you need to replace one trailer wheel end on a 2,200-pound trailer axle. This comes with pre-greased bearings already installed, which is going to save time and make installation a whole lot easier. This hub is going to fit trailers with an eight-inch to 12-inch wheel, and it has a five on 4 1/2-inch bolt pattern. This is designed for idler axles only, meaning it does not work with trailer brake systems.
If your setup uses pressed-in dust caps, those are going to be sold separately, but it will work with this. This is a cast iron hub. It's built for long-lasting durability while the zinc-plated wheel bolts are going to help resist rust and corrosion for reliable performance over time. You're going to get everything that you see here. I think that's going to wrap up our quick look today.
Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Perfect fit, the retaining nut was the wrong size, but my old ones were perfect. 1” straight axel.
