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.
E-Z Lube-Compatible Hub for Simple Lubrication
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.
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.
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.
- 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"

Hubs arrived in terrible condition. Grease caps are destroyed, many of the bearings are damaged, and the coating is chipped off of the hubs. Would not buy again.
by: Daniel05/08/2022
No issues with the product itself. Would of been 5 star if the packing process was quicker and the product was packed better. There was some slight damage due to poor packing.
by: Douglas01/19/2019
Great product, bought four of these for my RV upgrade to electric over hydraulic disc brake system. Dexter is the way to go and etrailer is a reliable and reasonable parts resource.

I saw several poor reviews for etrailer and almost didn't order. Boy, what a mistake that would have been! The whole process couldn't have been better. The order shipped almost immediately and I was sent emails updating me about delivery twice. My hubs arrived in perfect condition and my Chris Craft will be heading to the coast shortly. The price worked for me, and free shipping on my order was a treat. I will have no problem ordering from etrailer in the future.

Had the hubs on the trailer for a year. Unfortunately for me, shortly thereafter I suffered a stroke and just pulled the trailer two weeks ago for the first time. Everything worked fine. I will probably order another as a spare for some long trips.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Can a Hub/Drum Be Switched Out For An Idler Hub On a 6,000 Lb Trailer AxleYes, you can replace the hub/drum that you have on your trailer with a standard idler hub assembly. In order to determine if the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-213-51UC1-EZ is correct you will need to verify that your spindle uses a 25580 (1.75" inner diameter) inner bearing, a 15123 (1.25" inner diameter) outer bearing, and a GS-2250DL (2.25" inner diameter) grease seal. This may require you to read part numbers or measure to verify. If the above is true then you will be...
view full answer... - How to Determine Trailer Axle Rating from Axle Diameter and Bearings Used in HubsOften an axle's weight rating will appear on a sticker or plate on the axle beam itself, or sometimes the trailer's main identification sticker will include axle ratings. This is helpful unless of course the axles have been replaced during the trailer's lifetime. Axle diameter can get us at least in the right weight capacity neighborhood. An axle with 3-inch diameter typically has a 6K or 7K weight rating. One that is 3-1/2-inches in diameter is usually rated for 8K. In rare instances...

- Idler Hub for Use on Tie Down Axle Part 46648 from Venture TrailerI was able to find some details about the Venture square axle part 46648 in my research. This square axle is indeed rated for 5200-lbs, is 98-inches long overall including spindles, is galvanized and works with spring centers of 72- or 75-inches. A bit more digging allowed me to determine the bearings required for the included spindle are inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 15123. Since these are the same bearings used in the hub # 8-213-51UC1-EZ it will fit on your spindles. This...
view full answer... - Replacement Spindle And Hub For 6,000 lb Axle on Boat TrailerThe information was helpful, thank you, and spindles are replaceable, they just need to be welded on by a qualified professional. In regards to the hub, there are a couple of options, depending on your current hub's bolt pattern. Basically, just if your current wheels fit hubs with 6 lugs or 8 lugs. So for a replacement spindle and accompanying hub for a 6,000 lb axle, here is what you will need: - #42 E-Z Lube Spindle with Flange for 5.2K to 7K Trailer Axles # TRU37FR - 6 on 5-1/2"...
view full answer... - Can I Use Idles Hubs Instead of Drums on the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer SuspensionYes the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles part # 8-213-51UC1-EZ will work with the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # ASR35HDS05. I was able to confirm that they use the same bearings. The reason that they say they are for drums is that typically there are brakes on larger trailers like what the spindles are designed for.
view full answer... - Availability of 6k Trailer Hub with 6 Lug Bolt Pattern Pre-GreasedWe have pre-greased 6k trailer hubs with 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt patterns like the etrailer part # AKIHUB-655-6-K but we do not have any that are galvanized. This would still work great in a marine application though.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub for Tie Down Engineering 81091Yes, the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-213-51UC1-EZ will work as a direct replacement for your Tie Down Engineering 81091 hub. Based on my research your 81091 hub is rated to be used on 6,000 lb axles, has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, uses Inner Bearing # 25580, Outer Bearing # 15123 and Grease Seal # GS-2250DL. This is also what the galvanized Dexter Hub # 8-213-51UC1-EZ uses so it will work as a replacement.

- Bearing Buddy For A Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly For 6K AxlesThe correct Bearing Buddy size needed for the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 8-213-51UC1-EZ is 2.44". That being said, you can use the: -Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441SS for stainless steel. Or -Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441 for chrome.
view full answer... - Can I Use a Timbren Axle-Less System on a Boat Trailer That is Used in Salt WaterYes. Timbren Axle-Less Suspension systems like the # ASR35HDS05 have a thick powder coating on them, so they could be used on a boat trailer that gets submersed into salt water and do just fine. The spindle uses # 15123 outer and # 25580 inner bearings and you'll want to use hubs with either a dacromet plating or a galvanized finish. The hubs I recommend would be the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 6,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 - Galvanized # 8-201-51UC3 which would...
view full answer... - Dexter Axle Hub Conversion for 14.5 Inch or 15 Inch Wheels on Equipment TrailerThanks for the information on your trailer. For your axle with brakes I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K if you have the spindles with the integrated grease zerk. If you have standard spindles, I recommend # AKHD-655-6-K which have the standard grease cap instead. These assemblies will fit perfectly with your axles based on the bearing and seal information you gave as well as 14.5 inch wheels. Then...
view full answer... - Recommended Compatible Hubs for Use with Timbren Off-Road Suspension System ASR35HDS02In order to use 6-on-5-1/2-inch bolt pattern hubs on a Timbren axle-less suspension system those hubs will have to use the same bearing set as the hubs intended for that system. In the Timbren system # ASR35HDS02, for example, which has 4-inches of lift and is rated for 3500-lbs and off-road tires, the bearing set is inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 15123. We do offer idler hubs and hub/drums in the 6-on-5-1/2-inch bolt pattern that you can see by clicking on the link provided....
view full answer... - Axle Replacement For a Boat Trailer With 3,500LB Axle With V-Shape For Boat HullWe do have the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # TASR35HDS03 that you will be able to use for your boat trailer as we do not have any axles with the dimensions or design you are needing. These will replace your leaf springs and bolt to the frame. The hub face will be positioned 6-1/4" from the frame which is equivalent to your 85" hub face and 71" spring center. If you have an axle with the 81" hub face and 70" spring center that will work for your boat trailer you can remove...
view full answer... - Replacement Surge Brake Parts for 2004 5 Starr Boat TrailerIt sounds like you have a Demco Actuator to me like # DM8104002. We also have one with a 4 inch drop # DM8104311. Both are Hydraulic Brake Actuators that are rated at 12,500lbs.,has a 2-5/16 inch ball, and bear the DA10 model number. I was able to look up your boat trailer and the parts used between packages varied. I can help you pick out Rotors, Lines, Calipers, and Pads if you can provide me with more information about the current items on the trailer. I will need the number of...

This will include stainless steel brakes and wheel lug nuts, as well as all of the hoses. The hubs will have six lugs so the wheels will need to have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, and I will offer my recommendation for those wheels and tires. Here is the list you were wanting with all the needed parts for a new set up: - Timbren...
