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.


Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Side

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"

The product was good. The boxes that you used for shipping was marginal at best. You don't put 60 pounds of steel in a box made for greeting cards.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Hubs and Drums

  • Can a Trailer Wheel have a Larger Center Hole than the Hub
    There are 2 different ways that a wheel secures to a hub. Either it secures to the hub using lug nuts or it secures to the wheel with wheel bolts. Wheels that attach using lug nuts can have a larger pilot hole because the wheel is centered using the lug nuts. The pilot hole cannot be smaller on the wheel though. If the wheel secures using lug bolts then it has to be an exact fit because the wheel centers on the hub itself and the bolts just hold it in place. If you do have this type of...

  • Proper Torque Rating for Spindle Nut
    When our installers replace a trailer hub, there isn't a set torque spec used when tightening the spindle nut. The hub is placed on the spindle, making sure the inner and outer bearings are correctly seated. The spindle nut is then run down until you start feeling resistance. At that point, spin the hub and check for end play (wobble). If the hub still seems a bit loose, you can run the nut down a bit more. As you'll see in the video I've linked to, tightening the nut is something you'll...

  • How to Choose the Correct Spindle for the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-214-5UC1
    We do carry the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-214-5UC1 which is an oil bath assembly for a 10,000 lb axle, but unfortunately we do not carry a spindle that is compatible with it. You would need to source that elsewhere, but I can give you some information so that you can be sure to get the correct spindle. If you look at the linked photo you will notice the highlighted B, C, and D spots. On the spindle that you purchase you need to make sure that B, where your seal sites, measures...

  • Technical Drawing for Dexter Hub Assembly # 8-214-5
    I spoke with my contact at Dexter and was able to obtain the technical drawing for the Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-214-5. Keep in mind that this hub was designed to fit a spindle from a 10K Dexter axle. I have attached this drawing for you. We do offer part # 8-214-5UC1 which includes the trailer hub assembly, lug nuts, inner bearing ( # 395S ) and race, outer bearing ( # 387A ) and race, oil seal and cap. These are designed to fit 10,000-lb axles with spindles that require a 3-1/4" ID grease...

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Hubs/Drums for Dovetail Gooseneck with Dexter Dually Axles
    It's very likely you have a Dexter 9K or 10K General Duty Axle therefore for a replacement hub/drum you're looking at the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 9K to 10K Axles part # K08-288-90 or part # 8-430-5UC3. These are both oil bath hubs with an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. In order to confirm you'll have to crawl under the trailer and read the axle tag to see what brand/capacity they are as well as the date of mfg.

  • What Spindle Does Dexter 10K Hub Assembly # 8-214-5 Fit
    The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-214-5 that you referenced does fit a particular spindle but it's not something we have available (the highest capacity spindles we have are 6K units) and there's not really a standard model name for it like the # 42 spindle you mentioned that's typically found on 5,200 pound axles. The Dexter Hub Assembly # 8-215-5 uses a # 395S inner bearing, a # 387A outer bearing, and the # 10-56 oil seal that has a 3.125" inner diameter and a 4.500" outer...

  • Recommendation For Spindle With Biggest Capacity That Fits Dexter Hub Assembly - Item # 8-214-5UC1
    The biggest spindle we have in stock is a 3,500-lb axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles, Item # T3584F-8974. Unfortunately we do not carry a spindle that is compatible with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, Item # 8-214-5UC1. This hub works with 10,000-lb capacity axles. You would need to source that elsewhere with an axle shop/company that carries the larger capacity axles.

  • Replacement Hub and Drum for Dexter 10K Axles with 008-214-05 Hubs
    The hub you need is # 8-214-5UC1. Since it is separate from the drum you would not need to replace both unless it is time to replace the drum as well if it is worn or damage. If it is then the drum part is # 9-27-1. We also have the mounting bolt for this hub assembly, # 7-103.

  • Best Backup Camera System for Hitch Alignment and Trailer Observation
    We actually do have just what you need to both help align the hitch ball/coupler while attaching the trailer and monitor what is behind your trailer. For this, I highly recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System part # RVS-776614-213 with the Rear View Safety License Plate Bracket for Backup Camera part # RVS-401. The Rear View Safety (RVS) Backup Camera System will come with everything you need to complete the above and it comes with quick disconnect fittings to make attaching...

  • Can Dexter 10k Disc Brake Setup be Converted to Electric Drum Brake
    Yes, you can replace the hub and brake components of a Dexter 10k axle with drum components to convert it to electric drum brakes. For that you'd need the hub/drums part # 8-430-5UC3 and then for the brake assemblies # 23-450-451 and you'd be set in that regard. You'd need to run 10 gauge or thicker wire to each assembly which we offer with the part # 10-1-1.

  • Disc Brake Availability for 10,000 lb Dexter Torsion Axles
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D13 looks like it is exactly what you are needing. It is compatible with 10,000 lbs Dexter torsion axles, 17-1/2 inch wheels, and a hydraulic system. It does require a psi rating of 1,500 so as long as your EOH actuator can give that much output this is a viable option. To finish confirming that this kit will work great for your application you will just need to make sure that you have a 7 bolt brake mounting flange location and that your current wheels...

  • Will the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit Part # K2R1058D11 Fit a Dexter 10k General Duty Axle
    Yes, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2R1058D11 will work with your Dexter general duty 10,000 lb axles as long as you have an 395S inner bearing (2.625" inner diameter) and 387A outer bearing (2.250" inner diameter). These brakes are only compatible with a specific type of hub which is the two piece Dexter 8-288. If you also need the hub then you can use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-214-5UC1. I have attached a review video of the hub for you as well.

  • Correct Oil Seal for Dexter 10K 8-214-5UC1 Hub/9-27 Brake Drum
    The 9-27 (it's 9-27-1, actually) brake drum is part of a 2 piece hub/drum that uses # 8-214-5UC1 for the oil bath hub assembly. The correct oil seal is part # 10-56. The seal has an OD of 4.5 inches, and an ID of 3.125 inches. The # 10-63 you'd mentioned is too small, as its typically used with 8K capacity axles, so it wouldn't be compatible.

  • Trailer Wheel Compatibility with 5/8 Inch Bolts on Dexter 10,000 lb Axle
    When moving from the dual wheels on your Dexter 10K axle, you may want to consider the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 10,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Oil Bath # 8-214-5UC1 as a replacement. This does have the 5/8 bolts you mentioned. The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA55VR has lug bolt holes that are beveled so they will not be compatible. We don't have any 16-inch or 16-1/2 wheels that will work.

  • Availability of Spindle and Hubs for 10,000 lb Trailer Axle
    As you may have noticed, the highest capacity spindle we carry is for a 7,000 lb axle, # TRU37FR. Your best bet is to source the spindles for a 10,000 lb axle through a local trailer shop or dealer. If are able to source the spindles, we do have hubs for 10,000 lb axles. I'll list them below: # 8-430-5UC3 - Dexter Hub Drum for 9K to 10K axles manufactured after July 2009 (for non ABS brakes) - uses inner bearing # 387A, outer bearing # 25580 and oil seal # 10-51 # K08-288-90 - Dexter...

  • Parts Needed to Convert Triple Axle Trailer with Drum Brakes to Electric Over Hydraulic
    You'd need a set of 10k rated hydraulic drum brakes like the part # 23-404-405 per axle and then also a kit with the EOH actuator and electronics like the Hydrastar # HS381-9066 and the brake line kit # HS496-253 and you'd have everything you need to convert your trailer with three 10k rated axles with drum brakes to electric over hydraulic drum brakes.

    It sounds like you have 10K axles, in which you can use the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting # 23-439 for the right hand side, and # 23-438 for the left hand side.

    While there is not an all inclusive kit with everything you need to convert to disk brakes, we do have the necessary parts to put it all together. For a 10,000 lb Dexter axle there are two options. One is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E which is designed for Dexter axles with oil bath hubs made after May 2013 and the other is the # K2R1058D11HD for those made prior to 2009.

  • How to Convert Dexter 10k Drum Brakes to Electric Over Hydraulic Disc
    We have just what you would need. For idler hubs you would first need to start with the part # 8-214-5UC1 (if you don't have these already) and then to install a disc brake kit specifically for these hubs you would need the part # K2R1058D11 for each axle. This is a Dexter 10k oil bath setup just like what you have. For an electric over hydraulic drum actuator for your trailer you would want the part # HBA16-252-82. That comes with everything electronically. For a 30 foot long tandem...
