Specs:
The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
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.
Note: Some axles rated at 2,000 lbs require a different seal and bearings. Be sure that the bearings in the hub being replaced have L44649 stamped on them. If the bearings have L44643 stamped on them, use 8-258BTUC1 trailer hub.
Note: Trailer wheels that are smaller than 15" and have 5 bolts, have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

Today we're going to review part number 8-259-5UC1-EZ. This is the EZ Lube Trailer Hub Assembly for 8-inch to 10-inch wheels that use a 2,000-pound axle with a 5 on 4 1/2-inch bolt pattern. Now, this part will include everything shown here. This includes the inner and outer bearings. It includes the races which are already pressed into the assembly. Here's for the outer bearing and here's the race in the back for the inner bearing.
It does also include grease seal which fits on the back there. It includes the 5, 1/2-inch nuts that fit on the wheel bolts on the Hub Trailer Assembly and it also includes this EZ Lube grease cap that has the rubber plug in the middle and basically the EZ Lube system helps it make it easier to lubricate the bearing because you don't have to take it apart to put grease in them.Basically, on an EZ Lube system, the spindle on the very end will have a grease Zerk Fitting. To access that Zerk Fitting you can remove this rubber plug and hook your grease on to that Zerk Fitting. This will be right here. The spindle would come through and then you could lubricate your assembly just that way.
That's why this is all included. This does have a nice paint finish on the hub assembly itself. Now, the application on this part is for 2,000-pound axles. The diameter of the hub flange which is the whole diameter. This part right here is 5 1/2 inches in diameter and that's for use with 8-inch to 10-inch wheels.Now, the bolt pattern which would be the measurement of how far these wheel bolts are from each other.
Basically, if you drew a circle between the center of each of these 5 wheel bolts and measure the diameter of that circle be 4 1/2 inches so that's why the bolt patter is considered a 5 log 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, the bearings, the inner and outer bearings on the assembly use the same part number. It's L44649. Basically, you just drop these into the race on the front. The same way on the back.
It would fit right in there. Now, the grease seal that would go on the back. In other words if you put in your bearing in there, your grease seal which would go on there and be capped in.It is a part number 10-9. It has the inner diameter right in here of 1 1/2 inches. Now, the grease cap we had mentioned. The diameter on that. This diameter here is 1.986 inches. Again, that is designed to fit on the outer section. And that plug would go right on the inside. Now, the capacity itself from this hub assembly is 1,250 pounds. When used with another one on the other side it would give you a total capacity of 2,500-pounds but again they're mainly designed to fit on 2,000-pound axle.Now, just a note to mention to you is that some axles that are rated at 2,000 pounds might require a different seal and bearings than this one here so you want to be sure that the bearings on the hub that you're replacing have the part number L44649 stamped on the inner and outer bearings. If the numbers on your bearings are different, then you would be to use a different hub assembly. This one would not work. That should do it for the review on part number 8-259-5UCi-EZ, the EZ Lube Trailer Hub Assembly for 8 to 10-inch wheels with 2,000-pound axles. .

Genuine Dexter parts at 1/2 the price from Dexter themselves. 609171
Exactly what I needed to expediently repair our utility trailer. 609352
Good quality 607349
Fit my seadoo boat trailer perfectly. The video on the page was very helpful and the parts a great quality. Dust cap was un useable because it was damaged (possibly from shipping ) the only thing that would make this kit better is if it was pre greased and came with a new pin. Overall I'm very happy with it. Shipping came exactly the day they said even in a rain storm. Had updates along the way . Will definitely use them again in the future for all my trailer needs ! 597815
For the most part everything was great and quality was good. One of the beating races was dented due to packaging. A smaller box and more material to keep everything from shifting would be better. Still, quick shipping and good quality. Will buy again from here. 593055
Scary Fast Delivery. 585631
Part fit perfectly! Was delivered in a timely manner. Would definitely buy again. 564974
Was rebuilding a jet ski trailer to carry a kayak. I order several parts to include these new hubs. The hubs were great, but the seals were to large for my spindles. Talked to customer service and they shipped me new seals for no additional charge! 546906
The product is great. Customer service was incredibly helpful making sure I got the right equipment. Ive had it over a year and it is functioning perfectly.

Replacement hub for my Triton snowmobile trailer that spun a stud. Fits perfect and was delivered quickly. 471284
Great product, great service. 460953
i was impressed with the speed that my order arrived. The tech was very helpful when the order was placed. I was disappointed that the bearing buddy was only a metal cylinder and did not contain a spring and zert fitting for continuous greasing. One of the packages was missing a black dust cover. One of the so called bearing buddies was bent. One of the spindles had a three eights inch area that was not polished. It looks like a tool broke during manufacturing or a possible defect during the pouring process. 444922

I bought a bearing kit for my utility trailer. Parts arrived on time and the cost was considerably expensive than what I found locally. After a year of use, all is well! The trailer is used continuously and I have had zero problems with the new bearings and hubs. 309495

Still going strong! The past last year has a typo that I should have caught. The product was considerably LESS expensive from Etrailer than what I found locally. Sorry
Griz - 10/21/2017The item was exactly what I ordered. My only concern was that the tires I had on my trailer were 13", and the hubs are labeled as for only 8 to 12" wheels. It didn't make any difference. It was the exact part and replacement that I needed using the old part number scribed into the back of the old hub. Thanks for a great match! 267982
Put the hubs on today...easy installation...good quality... Have ordered numerous parts from you and delivery and quality has ALWAYS been first notch. Thanks again. 257356
Product was delivered on time with no defects. But the best thing was the technical support that was provided. I have made many more purchases after this one and etrailer.com will always be the first place that I shop for trailer parts 244118
This hub assembly was exactly what I needed to update/upgrade my trailer. No missing pieces, which is always a plus. This assembly and some axle grease lengthened the life of the trailer. Another DIY project completed and in use. 241314
I used the trailer w/new hubs for about 5 months. I then had a person interested in the trailer, for the right price, so I sold it.Thank you for the inquiry.
Larry K - 02/20/2018Received my order 2 days earlier than expected thanks to George sending it so quickly. The price is right and the quality is excellent. I will definitely become a permanent customer after this last transaction. 238056
I have a relatively lengthy trip coming up and wanted to have a spare hub with me should a problem develop in route. The offering was comprehensive but I did elect to remove an existing hub to be assured that I knew the actual bearing ID's. That done, selecting the right hub was easy. The price appeared appropriate and I placed an order. The hub was delivered ahead of schedule and in good condition. My only concern is that the hub and bearings were delivered without having been pre packed with grease. Not a deal breaker but it would have been nice. I will likely buy another hub in the spring. 236886
Great set quick and easy 234361
Awesome delivery speed and service! I had ordered the wrong part and was able to return it and order the correct part with no issues. My project was replacing hubs on my 2004 Sled Bed trailer which has had a irritating vibration since I bought it new. New hubs fixed the vibration! Thank you!! 231436
Hub fit perfect and it was nice that both race's were already installed in the hub. Replacement went smoothly. Bearings fit my axle smoothly unlike a set of bearing I purchased at an automotive store. 218948
fast shipping, fit perfect thanks 218683
Got the product as a spare but delivery time was great 218500
I cannot say enough good things about the follow-up and how helpful everyone was at Etrailer. After ordering the wrong trailer Hubs and received them damaged, thanks to the great follow-up I received the correct order and in good shape and unbelievably fast. This is the third order with Etrailer and all has been great. 215869
Ditto on the hubs...Great product and fair pricing! 215681
Hub itself is well made. Accompanying bearings are made in China. Races pre-installed. One race had a rusty nodule and left a rusty pit when removed. Out with the crap and in with Timkens. Price is great, but I suspect some would be willing to pay more if it came w/ Timken or SKF bearings. 215124
received the Dexter Hub ready for complete installation. Seems like a good value but havent installed it long enough to make any comment about the quality. The original hub stripped 4 of the 5 wheel studs when I tried to remove the wheel , and had to grind the back of the studs off to get the wheel seperated from the hub. 213503
Product looks good, shipping was very fast. etrailer was very easy to work with. The instruction video lacked a bit of detail regarding how hard to tap in the inner grease seal (first hub I've ever replaced). I'm still a bit unclear on this... 200886
Awesome customer service, Prefect fit will be back soon. Mitch Brunner 184330
No problems working perfect
Mitch B - 04/08/2016I received the order via free shipping and it arrived very fast and securely packaged. The products came as described and of high quality. I will surely order again. 176607
Trailer Hub Assembly's and wheel tire combo's were shipped extremely fast and everything looks perfect to replace badly rusted and worn parts on my snowmobile trailer. 175104
Very happy with this business, very prompt shipper,excellent communication. Very satisfied. Diane 173488
The kit was exactly as described, appears to be of adequate quality. Shipped almost immediately after ordering. 166067
This was my second order with etrailer. Ultimately pleased with the product on both occasions, however, one of the bearing shipped looked like someone smashed it with a hammer. I'm sure etrailer would have taken care of me had I made a complaint, but I just used an old bearing from the original hub. Problem solved. 159445
I recently needed tires for my snowmobile trailer. The selection I found at Etrailer was excellent with great prices. I ordered the tires on Saturday night and was amazed to see the tires show up on Tuesday morning. The communication was great too. This is a great company to deal with. I look forward to another purchase. 157375
I was completely satisfied with my order. thank you etrailer! 147783
My original hub cracked after I tried to install a replacement wheel bolt. Went up to E trailer and found the replacement hub VERY easily. Their tutorial video also clarified which wheel bearing I should have since the same hub is used in two different weight classes. UPS ground package came in two days, way ahead of what I was expecting. It was easier and faster than trying to locate in my area that could order it for me. This is the second time I have purchased items from E trailer and have nothing but praise for their efforts. 134563
Very fast and reliable service. Awesome communication skills and professional advice, I will continue to use etrailer.com 123288
