Specs:
This trailer hub 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.
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.
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.)
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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Dexter galvanized trailer idler hub for 6,000 pound axles. It has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this is a marine-grade trailer hub which will fit idler axles. This has a nice zinc plating on it, gives you a 500-hour salt spray rating so it is ideal for use on a boat or snowmobile trailer and it is durable enough for saltwater applications. Now, this will include both the inner bearing race and the outer bearing race.
They are all pre-installed. It will require the bearings, the grease seal, the grease cap, and lug nuts which we do sell separately on our website. And we do list them on this product page of what part numbers you need. Now, this is a sturdy iron construction. This part is made in the USA.
Application, we mentioned this fits 6,000 pound trailer axles with the number 42 spindles. The wheel size that'll fit on this hub is 16 inches and larger. The bolt pattern is a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. And the wheel stud size is a half inch diameter. So the lug nuts you use on this will be the half inch by 20 size lug nuts.
Weight capacity on this hub is 3,000 pounds. So when this is used with one on the other side of the axle, it meets the 6,000 pound trailer axle rating. But that should do it for the review on the Dexter galvanized trailer idler hub for 6,000 pound axles with the 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Correct, the bearings do not come with this idler hub. It is just the hub, you will have to purchase the bearings separately. Check out part # BK3-110, this will have both the inner and outer bearings.
