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"

  • Replacement Hub and Bearings for 1989 Tracker Boat Trailer
    Based on the pictures you attached and the outer bearing measurement you provided, it appears that you have 1-1/16 inch spindle like the BTR EZ Lube Spindle # TRU44FR. This particular spindle is designed for 2,000 pound axles and will use the same inner and outer bearing. I have attached the spindle's dimensions so you can compare them to what you have in order to verify the replacement bearing sizes. I recommend using a digital caliper like # PTW80157, as the measurements will need to...

  • Replacement 8-259 Hub With 2,000 lb Capacity and 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    In order to find the correct hub for your trailer you will need to take the current hub off, take it apart and find the bearing numbers, which will be stamped on the bearings themselves. If you get back to me with that information I may be able to help you find the right hub.

  • Will Bearing Buddy Grease Caps Fit a Harbor Freight Trailer 62671 Folding Trailer?
    We don't have a kit for Harbor Freight trailers and their parts are very rarely compatible with standard trailer parts like we carry. We have however found there are times when the bearing buddies # BB2047 specifically has fit. We haven't confirmed a fit on that model yet, so you will need to measure the hub bore of the hubs on your trailer. If the hub bore is 2.047 then these will work for you. For a hub and bearings, you would need to pull the hub and look at the bearing numbers....

  • Replacement Coupler, Bearings and Hubs for a Detail K2 Utility Trailer
    Hey Steve, for your Detail K2 trailer you can use the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3002-Z for a replacement coupler. This coupler is rated for up to 3,500 lbs, has a Zinc finish, and has a bolt on install. For a bearing kit, it looks like it uses the Bearing Kit, L44649 Inner/Outer Bearings # BK1-150 and for hubs you'll wan to use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # 8-259-5UC1. Please feel free to let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!

  • Recommended Replacement for Dexter 8-259 Idler Hub
    We offer the correct replacement for you. If you have EZ-Lube spindles, use # 8-259-5UC1-EZ or # 8-259-5UC1 for standard spindles. The hub includes the L44649 inner and outer bearings, the L44610 inner and outer race, the 10-9 grease seal, the dust cap and lug nuts.

  • Replacement Bearing Kit For a Dexter 8-259 Idler Hub
    Your Dexter 8-259 # 8-259-5UC1 will use the Bearing Kit # BK1-150 for each hub. I recommend filling the bearings with the Grease # L11390 when you install them.

  • Replacement Hub and Bearing Kit For a Carry On Trailer With Dexter 8-259 Idler Hubs
    It sounds like you are looking for the Dexter 8-259 # 8-259-5UC1 hub. If you only need the internals it will use the Bearing Kit # BK1-150 for each hub. The bearing kit includes new bearings, races and a grease seal for 1 hub. I recommend filling the bearings with the Grease # L11390 when you install them.

  • Replacement Hubs for 2,000 lb Dexter Torflex Axle
    Thanks for the info, and since you know you have a 2,000 lb #9 Dexter Torflex axle, we can get you the right replacement hub because we know those use inner and outer bearings # L44649. So the correct replacement hub for your application is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern # 8-259-5UC1. That is for standard spindles, so if you have the EZ-Lube spindle, what you will need is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axle...

  • Is there a Trailer Wheel that Fits a 4 on 3 Inch Bolt Pattern
    First, let's make sure that you are measuring the bolt pattern correctly. I have included a link to an article showing how to measure for bolt pattern. On a wheel or hub that has an even number of studs or holes all you have to do is measure from the center of one hole or stud straight across the center of the wheel to the center of the one across from it. If that is how you are measuring and still come up with a 4 on 3 bolt pattern then we do not have a wheel that will fit. But you may...

  • Troubleshooting Hub and Spindle Not Fitting Together after Replacing Spindle on a Utility Trailer
    It sounds and looks to me like you have the wrong hub assembly for the spindle that is welded to the axle on your trailer. The photos you sent clearly show a 1-1/16 inch spindle similar to the BTR EZ Lube Spindle item # TRU44FR. This is a spindle for a 2,000 pound axle. The parts that you referenced are for a 3,500 pound axle and definitely will not work on a spindle designed for a 2,000 pound axle. In addition, the photo of the hub that you sent looks like a hub for a 3,500 pound axle,...

  • Replacing Trailer Hubs on Loadrite Trailer
    From the dimensions you gave me, the Trailer Hub Assembly for 2000 lb Axle, 5 on 4-1/2 should fit. It has a 6-1/2 inch diameter hub flange. I measured the depth, and it is 4-1/4 inches (2 inches on each side of the flange, and the flange itself is 1/4 inch thick). If you take a look at your bearings, they should have a number stamped on them. This is the easiest way to match up a replacement hub. The hub I am suggesting fits L44649 bearings.

  • Trailer Hub To Spindle Combinations for 2000 Pound or 3500 Pound Axle
    The HUB KIT # 8-259-5UC1, uses a 1,000 pound spindle, item # TRU44FR. This setup is for a 2,000 pound axle. The #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 1-3/4" Diameter, item # TRU64FR, is for a 3500 pound axle. If you need a hub and spindle for a 3,500 pound axle then you would use the # TRU64FR spindle and the Trailer Hub Assembly for 3,500 lbs Axles with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, item # 84545BX.

  • Where To Find Numbers For Replacement Bearings On Utility Trailer
    Since the axle you have is a Dexter Model 8259 you can choose one of the hub assemblies we offer from the attached product page. If you have an EZ-Lube axle on your trailer you may want to check out part # 8-259-5UC1-EZ, or part # 8-259-50UC1-EZ. If you do not have an EZ-Lube axle take a look at part # 8-259-5UC1 or part # 8-259-50UC1. I have attached links to some product review videos for these kits you can take a look at.

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Hub For Small Trailer
    Ok, I can help you out here in regards to if you can get new hubs for larger wheels and tires for your small trailer, but hubs are quite specific fits for a trailer spindle, so it's going to take some measuring or knowing the hubs you have in order to determine if you can get a replacement or know if the 5-lug hubs you mentioned are the same as your 5-lug hubs. To determine if there is a replacement hub available, there's a number of things you will need to know. First, you need to know...

  • How To Measure An Axle To Determine The Correct Replacement
    All of our axles are measures across from hub-face to hub-face. I have attached a diagram below showing where we measure the axle from. The diagram shows the Trailer Idler Axle Beam # e78GR. We will look at the hub-face length and the distance between the spring seats when determining fitment of an axle. If you are replacing an old axle we would want to try to get you an identical replacement. It is also good to know the weight capacity of the old axle.

  • What Size Hub will Work with the 215/60-8 Trailer Tire with 8 Inch Galvanized Wheel Load Range D
    The proper size hub for the 215/60-8 bias trailer tire and wheel, # AM3H325, is going to depend on the weight capacity of the trailer you are designing. This wheel and tire combination is capable of 1,165 lbs at 70 psi, so each axle in your design would need to be rated for 2,330 lbs or less. Most likely if this is the proper capacity for your design you will be using a 2,000 lb axle and the Trailer Hub Assembly, # 34822545BX, would be the proper choice if the spindle on the axle you...

  • Can a Hub for 12 to 15 Inch Trailer Wheels Fit a 10 Inch Wheel for Axle T20BTR-6048
    Hubs are not included with trailer axle # T20BTR-6048 but for a compatible hub that will fit a 10 inch wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you can use # 8-259-5UC1. If a hub is listed as compatible with 12 to 15 inch wheels then a 10 inch wheel will not fit because there isn't enough space in the wheel for the hub.

  • How to Determine the Bolt Hole Pattern on a Trailer Wheel
    The Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-259-5UC1, has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. To determine the bolt pattern of your trailer wheels, there is a simple way to measure. If there is an EVEN number of lugs, you will measure center to center on lugs directly across from each other. For example, if the wheel has 6 lugs and the center to center distance between 2 that are across from each other is 5-1/2 inches, then the bolt patter is 6 on 5-1/2. If there is an ODD number of lugs, you will measure...

  • Recommended Replacement Idler Hub Assembly That Uses L44649 Bearings
    Art, the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-258-5UC1-EZ is not going to work with your L44649 bearings, unfortunately. Instead, you're going to want to use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # 8-259-5UC1 instead. This idler hub will work with your L44649 bearings, has a 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern, and will also work with 2,000 lb axles.

  • Trailer Hub Recommendation for a Trailer that has Inner/Outer Bearing L44649
    If the bearings of your current hub are both L44649 the Dexter Hub part # 8-259-5UC1 that you referenced will fit on your current trailer spindle. Since this has the same bolt pattern as your wheels it would match up with them as well. The star shape of this hub will not matter in comparison to the round style you currently have.

  • Replacement Trailer Hub with L44649 Inner and Outer Bearings and 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    You have already done the hard part, which is getting the bearing numbers. With those numbers and the bolt pattern you have provided, we have 2 possible hubs that could work as replacements, depending on the trailer wheel size. If your trailer has 12 inch to 15 inch wheels, then you can use the Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-258-5UC1, that you have referenced. If your trailer has 8 to 10 inch wheels, you will need Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-259-5UC1.

  • Remove, Inspect, and Reinstall Trailer Bearings, Races, and Seals
    If you are replacing your existing hubs with Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-91-05UC1, you will just need to remove the old hub without having to remove the races. The hubs we carry come with the races already in their proper places. If you are replacing bearings, races, and seals you will need to knock out the old races. I have linked a video that shows how our installer goes about this task. It will also show you how to put everything back together. This hub will fit if your trailer accepts...
