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"

Bought these to replace #5200lb house trailer hubs for a utility trailer. Great fit! Fast shipping.
by: Brian09/08/2023
Excellent product. Have used them on 3 trailers. Every time I buy a used trailer, I completely rebuild the hubs, bearings and brakes.
I don’t trust other people to keep boat axels, up to my standards. We travel long distances with our boat trailers.
Never had a failure.
Thank You etrailer!

I bought these hubs to replace the 30+ year old originals on the 6000 lb axle under my late fathers homemade 4x8 trailer. The original hubs couldn't have modern wheels mounted to them so doing this allowed me to mount modern 225/15r75 tires and wheels as well as have a spare. Install was quick and easy, the fit of every part was perfect. Service from etrailer was excellent, couldn't have been better.

Excellent experience all the way around! Fast shipping. Simple installation. Great instructions and videos. Reasonable prices. The best part though is the customer service. I ended up speaking to William B a couple times and he guided me thought ordering exactly the right thing. He had me confirm various measurements on my trailer to ensure I had the correct parts. Actually he helped me discover that the parts I was removing were incorrect so if we had of replaced like for like I would have had problems. Getting this right up front made the installation and final quality what it should be. Thank you eTrailer and thank you William!

I searched for what seemed like forever to find a fix for my mobile home trailer axles. I bought a homemade trailer and was needing new tires, they were and odd size 14.5... and I needed new bearings too. The axles were 5200 lb axles. The wheels had a very bad wobble and I felt like I was going to spend a lot money to make a temporary fix. There was so much conflicting information on these axles and compatibility of replacement parts. I bought these hubs and hoped for the best. They fit perfectly! I'm very pleased. I ordered them last night and they arrived this afternoon! Overnight shipping?! Also the costumer service was amazing!! I asked so many questions and felt like i was talking to a friend i've known my whole life.

Items came quickly once in stock. I asked for them separately but would have lost the free shipping...good looking out! Went from old Christmas tree farm trailer to camp hauler. The updated hubs and rims were the last piece. Great customer service!

Perfect fit, good quality at reasonable choice. If I need future trailer items, eTrailer will be my go-to.

Received 2 dexter hubs and replaced my mobile home hubs with them in about an hour I used Toyota rims from a 1999 trunda fits great did use longer nuts becouse the rims had counter sunk holes

Following a minor shipping hiccup, James at etrailer.com responded quickly and professionally to get my new hubs to me in a timely manner. Things may not always go as planned with shipments, but I know I can count on the crew at etrailer to make it right.
Thanks James and George!!

Excellent technical support. Excellent order support - emailed and suggested an alternative when a part was not in stock. FAST delivery.
I had never used etrailer before but was VERY impressed and highly recommend! 5 stars all the way!!!

Everything worked perfectly. I wanted a conversion kit like this for over 20 years. Glad I found etrailer.com. Thanks

A great fit, and easy install. Got me out of a tight bind. We can get back on the road tomorrow. eTrailer always comes through for me.
by: Tim11/16/2016
This seems to be a good quality hub. I haven't gotten the opportunity to install as circumstances have conspired against me so far but I'm sure it will work perfectly.
The real bright spot is that there was a minor problem with my order and Rebecca and George were very quick to respond. They got everything fixed with absolutely no hassle! The level of customer service has proven to me that the staff at etrailer.com are willing to do everything possible to find the right solution for the customer. I will definitely be shopping with etrailer.com again!!

These idler hubs are great! Very happy with them. I have used the trailer several times and there haven’t been any issues. Finally no more squeaking and squealing from bad bearings and hubs.

Best thing I've ne for the trailer
by: Hermann07/03/2018
I bought these hub assemblies to replace the ones that came with the boat trailer. Since they were installed I live 50 miles south of Chicago. The trailer has been to Okeechobee Fl. 2 times, also Chetek Wisconsin 3 times. When traveling ,every time I stop for eats or fuel I feel the hubs. The hubs are always just a few degrees above ambient.
PS I also installed S.S. bearing buddy's, from E Trailer.

I have a utility trailer that I have had for over 25 years. It had a mobile home axle on it with Dayton style hubs and 14.5. inch rims and tires. I wanted to change over to a more traditional hubs and wheels. The help from Sam G was great. I gave him the part number of outside and inside bearings and he found me the hub that fit my spindle. The delivery was fast. One of the bearings came bent but replacement was not an issue. The description of the hub only showed it was for 16" rims but Sam found a 15" rim that worked. - Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Black Pictures sent to Sam in email.

Product looks good, and well made.
Trying to convert a trailer house axle however didn't fit my application. Knew I would need to make bearing sleeves but when arrived I found my spindle wasn't long enough. So had to order spindles to match.
Also was planning on using rims off a 2006 chevy Silverado however they won't work because of the center hole needs to be larger. Older Chevy rims made for 4WD should work. Center hole should be around 4-4.5".
For future reference, measure length of your spindles as well as bearing and seal diameters.
A mention of spindle length needed as well as the center diameter of the hub would be a good things to add to description.
Great people to work with. Very friendly and knowledgeable. In shipping a bearing and cap was destroyed. They took care of it right away. No pictures, no explanation needed.
by: Wendell H.07/20/2015
Fit perfectly on my trailer house axles. My buddy and I swapped them out with ease. I already recommended the same type to two other friends with the same type of axles. David S. & Mark S. I'm ordering wheels and tires next. Thanks for offering a superior product.
by: Ron T02/07/2014
This is a on going project on a utility trailer that I have had for over 25 years that has a mobile home axle on it changing over to a more traditional hub and wheel, the help that I got from etrailers was great, delivery was fast and the product was out standing. Thank you for everything and pictures will follow this spring as the trailer get built.:)

- Recommended Hubs for 5200-lb Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension SystemTimbren does offer two 5200-lb-rated axle-less suspension systems that can be seen by clicking on the link provided. These accept either 6-on-5-1/2 idler hub # 8-213-5UC1-EZ or hub/drum assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ if your trailer will have brakes. Please note that these systems may require reinforcement of the trailer frame. These hubs' bolt pattern is slightly different than your Ford F-150's 6-bolt hubs. The two are not interchangeable and odds are that your wheels would not fit, or at...
view full answer... - Are There Replacement 4,400 lb SpindlesWe do not have replacement 4,400 lb spindles, the closest we can offer is a 5,200 lb spindle, the #42 Spindle # TRU57FR. You'd need new hubs as well since these spindles won't take 4,400 lb hubs, so for that you would need the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-213-5UC1. I realize totally replacing your spindle and also hubs is not an ideal solution but I did at least want to mention it as something to consider.
view full answer... - Recommended Hub For Mobile Home Axle That Uses L68149 and LM67048 BearingsWe have one option that will work for you. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 4,400-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-407-5UC3-EZ uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # LM67048 so it would work perfectly on your spindle. This hub is designed to work with 10" electric trailer brakes # K23-462-463-00. Since the # 8-407-5UC3-EZ has the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern I recommend going with the Lionshead Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - 6 on 5-1/2 - White # AM20532...
view full answer... - Parts for Lugged Hubs on a Mobile Home Axle with 15123 inner and 25880 Outer BearingsIt sounds like you have a spindle that uses the Inner Trailer Hub Bearing, item # 25580, that has a 1.750 inch inner diameter. The outer # 15123 bearing has a 1.250 inch inner diameter. I would check the seal surface on the spindle to be sure that it matches the # RG06-070 seal inner diameter of 2.250 inches. Many times mobile home axles use non- standard parts so careful measurement of all of the parts is required. If all of these dimensions match, then you will need to determine whether...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Replacement Hubs for a 6k Dexter AxleYou can switch your hub and drums to a higher rated setup, its just a matter of finding the correct hub to fit the spindle on your trailer. The only way to do that is to pull your current hubs, pull out both of the bearings and get the numbers stamped on them so we can determine what spindles you have to get a hub that will match. Check out the picture I attached that shows where these numbers are. You also need to determine what bolt pattern you have on your current wheels so that your...

- Which Idler Hubs Will Work the Trailer Axle Beam # e45GRDepending on the size of your wheel and the bolt pattern we do have some different options for an idler hub for the Trailer Axle Beam # e45GR. If your wheel size is 14" - 16 1/2" and the bolt pattern is 6 on 5 1/2", you can use an idler hub like the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2" # 8-213-5UC1. If your wheels are 16" - 17 1/2" and the bolt pattern is 8 on 6 1/2", you can use an idler hub like the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly - 5,200-lb, 6,000-lb and...
view full answer... - Could the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1 fit on an ALKO H-52 AxleYou can use a Dexter hub assembly on the ALKO axle provided that the bearing numbers match. You will need to go by the inner and outer bearing numbers on the trailer to find the correct hub and drum. The bearing numbers of the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1 that you referenced are 25580 inner and LM67048 outer.

- Repair Sleeve for 6K Trailer SpindleWe don't offer a replacement sleeve, nor would I recommend using one, as a significant portion of the trailer weight bill be sitting on that bearing surface which isn't the case for the area of the spindle where the grease seal rides which isn't weight bearing. This leaves you a couple of options. You could replace the axle as you mentioned. Depending on your hub face to hub face and the distance apart that the spring seats sit, we might have an off-the-shelf replacement axle that would...

- Availability Of Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Suspension 3500lb ASR35HDS01We sure do! You can visit the product page of the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS01 by clicking on the part number in this question. This Timbren Axle-Less Suspension is the Heavy-Duty version which means even though it has a 3500lb rating, it is made out of thicker metal than the standard version and uses 5200-7000lb hubs instead of 3500lb hubs. For hubs you can use Idler hub # 8-231-50UC1-EZ which has the 8...
view full answer... - Availability Of 5 On 5-1/2 Hubs For A 5.2K Or 6K AxleA #84 spindle is the standard 3,500 lb axle spindle. It uses an inner bearing L68149 (1.378" inner diameter), and an outer bearing L44649 (1.063" inner diameter). These days this is basically universal for 3,500 lb axles. What you have with your 25580 outer and LM67048 Inner bearings is either a 5,200 lb or 6,000 lb axle. The 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and the 3" round tube also indicate a 5.2K or 6K axle. With your axle and bearing combination, there are not any hubs with a 5 on 5-1/2"...
view full answer... - What Offset Does the Lionshead Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - 6 on 5-1/2 HaveThe Lionshead Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # LHHA312 has a 0 offset which is the case for any of our wheels that don't have an offset listed. 0 offset is most common for trailers. It will work with any hub that has a 6 on 5-1/2" pattern like the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-213-5UC1.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hubs and Wheels for Axle with 25580 Inner and LM67048 Outer BearingI recommend starting with the Dexter # 8-213-5UC1 (hubs) or the # 8-201-5UC3 (hub and drum) that use the # 25580 inner bearing and # LM67048 outer bearing; these hubs both have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern, and come pre-greased so they're ready to install. If you're using the # 8-201-5UC3 you can add brakes using 12" brakes like the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. You'll want to make sure your axles have a 5 bolt...
view full answer... - Idler Hubs and Hub/Drums That Use Bearings 25580 and LM67048All idler hubs and hub/drums that use your bearing set # 25580 and # LM67048 appear on the linked page. For the idler hub use either standard 6-on-5-1/2 hub # 8-213-5UC1 or EZ-Lube hub # 8-213-5UC1-EZ. These include seals with a different I.D. so you'll also need 2.250-inch I.D. seal # GS-2250DL. For a 6-on-5-1/2 hub/drum use either standard model # 8-201-5UC3 or EZ-Lube model # 8-201-5UC3-EZ. Again you'll need to add the alternate seals # GS-2250DL. These various hubs use either a...
view full answer... - Dexter Hub # 8-213-5UC1 RecommendationI would recommend you go with the same hub you currently have, this way it will match your spindle and current wheel setup. For that I would recommend you get a Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1 since it is the same as what you have.
view full answer... - Wheel/Tire and Hub that Fits Timbren Axle Less 5,200 lb Axle KitHey Matt, so it looks like the items you added to your cart are the Timbren Axle Less Kit part # TASR5200S03, Karrier Wheel and Tire part # AM32764, and the wheel part # AM20746. I could be looking at an outdated history of what you have in your cart right now but it does seem like you are missing a hub for the Timbren and wheels to attach to so for that you'd also need the # 8-213-5UC1.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs to Fit Bearings 25580 and LM67048 with 5-Spoke Utility Bolt PatternThe only 5-spoke utility hub we carry is part # 8-174-5UC3 which is a hub and drum assembly. The bearing numbers are # 25580 and # 15123. Obviously this is a different outer bearing number than what you have but it has the same inner diameter as # LM67048 so it still fits your spindles and will work for you. We don't carry an idler hub with that bolt pattern. If you want to use and idler hub on one axle and a hub and drum assembly on the other you do have the option of changing your...

While you can get a hub that uses the same bearings, the issue is the wheel bolt pattern will be 6 on 5-1/2" as there isn't an option for the rare 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. This does mean you'd need to switch your wheels, but I did want to at least give you the option; what you can use if you like is the following: - Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-213-5UC1 This uses the...

These are for 5,200 lb axles and work with 15 inch wheels, but the hubs only come in 6 lugs wheel bolt pattern, the 6 on 5-1/2". The options are either an idler hub or hub and drum: - Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles # 8-213-5UC1 -...
view full answer... - Is the Distance Between Bearings In a Hub an Important Measurement When Finding a Replacement HubFirst, thanks for the kind words. We work hard to provide the best online experience in the industry. If the axle you have is a MOBILE home axle and not a motor home axle, then you will have to replace the axle. Mobile home axles are designed for one time use only and should not be reused. As a result of this one time use, there are very few replacement parts available. Now if it is an axle from a motor home then it is most likely a trailer axle and you will not need to replace it. If...

The first has a wheel bolt pattern of 6 on 5-1/2 and fits axles rated for 5,200 lbs to 6,000 lbs. This hub can be purchased with the standard hub assembly # 8-213-5UC1 or the E-Z Lube axle hub assembly # 8-213-5UC1-EZ. Your bearing combination indicates that your axle capacity is 5,200 lbs. The other hub option has a bolt pattern of 6 on 6 and fits axles rated for 6,000 lbs. This hub can be...
view full answer... - Is Hub Assy Available With 25580 Inner Bearing And LM67048 Outer Bearing With 5 Bolt PatternWe do have hubs that use the # 25580 inner bearing and # LM67048 outer bearing, but the wheel bolt pattern does not match the 5 on 5-1/2 you said you need. Part # 8-213-5UC1 is an idler hub and is designed to fit 5,200 to 6,000 lb axles. This hub assembly comes with the bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. The hub assemblies we offer with a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern are designed for 2,000, 2,200, and 3,500 lb axles and do not have the bearings you said you need.
view full answer... - Fit of Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000 lb E-Z Lube AxlesYour photos did not come through but I think I can still answer your question. The hubs you get must be compatible with your spindle, and that means you will need to look at your hub bearings; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings and grease seal ride. You can use the photo I've attached to see...

- Hubs to Fit Trailer Axle that Has Spindles with Bearing Diameters of 1.25 and 1.75 inchYour spindle dimensions match the 42 spindle which has 1.25 inch and 1.75 inch diameters where the bearings ride. So for a brake hub to fit what you have you'd want the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and then for an idler hub you'd want the # 8-213-5UC1. Then for a set of brake assemblies we have the # AKEBRK-6 which will fit the hub/drum mentioned.
view full answer... - Can Hubs be Replaced with Hub and Drum Assemblies on a Mobile Home AxleMobile home axles are meant for one-time use only according to the manufacturer. I advise against continuing to use them. Also, there isn't a hub and drum assembly that would fit (unless the inner and outer bearings on the axle are standard. I would have to know the bearing numbers to check). It might actually be more cost effective to replace the axles with some that come with hubs and drums and electric brakes. That way you get all new parts that are all standard and compatible with...
