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.
by: George06/02/2023
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.
by: Daniel04/08/2018
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
by: Phil C07/29/2016
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
by: John 04/17/2023
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.:)

- 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... - Trailer Hubs that Fit As Replacement for Hub with Bearing Numbers LM67048 and 25580For an idler hub (no brakes) that fits your spindle based on the bearing numbers you mentioned you'd want the part # 8-213-5UC1 or if you do have brakes on your trailer the correct hub would be the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which is a hub/drum. These both use the same bearings as what you have and have the standard 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

- 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... - Replacement Wheel Studs for 6k Rated Trailer Hub with 6 Lug Bolt PatternIt's hard to say for certain which studs you'd need. But there's a great chance you have a 6 lug Dexter hub like the part # 8-213-5UC1 which uses the replacement studs part # 7-122. This is a 1/2 inch diameter stud that measures 2 inches in length. For a 1/2 inch stainless steel acorn lug nut we have the part # KALN1375S which would work well.
view full answer... - Which Wheels Fit On Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-213-5UC1When fitting wheels to a Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-213-5UC1, you would need to measure the wheels you are trying to use. You would measure the bolt pattern, the center hole diameter, and the stud size. To measure the bolt circle on a 6 lug application you would measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole directly across from it. So on the Dexter hub you referenced that measurement would have to be 5.5 inches. I have included a link to our FAQ article...

Your the 4400lb Dexter Axle on your 2021 Keystone Half-Ton Travel Trailer uses the following replacement parts: Inner bearing # L68149 Outer bearing # LM67048 Grease seal # RG06-050 For replacement hub we have the # 8-407-5UC3-EZ which includes all of the above components so you do not need to purchase them separately. I included a video review of the # 8-407-5UC3-EZ for you to take a look at.

- What Spindle Does Dexter Trailer Hub # 8-213-5UC1 FitThe trailer hub part # 8-213-5UC1 that you referenced is designed to fit the 42 spindles like part # TRU37FR.
view full answer... - Can The Inner Bearing L68149 Be Used In Place Of The 25580 In The 8-213-5UC1 HubHey Doug, the # 8-213-5UC1 hub that you mentioned uses only the # 25580 inner and # LM67048 outer bearings. The # 25580 bearing has a 1.75" ID and roughly 3-1/4" OD. The # L68149 bearing has a 1.378" ID and roughly 2-3/8" OD. So, there is no way the # L68149 could be used in the place of the # 25580 bearing. Mobile home axles usually use some oddball bearing sizes and they really are not designed to be re-used. It will likely prove very difficult to find compatible parts, so we would...
view full answer... - 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...

- Capacity of Axle Using Outer Bearing LM67048 and Inner Bearing 25580For an axle using outer bearing # LM67048 and inner bearing # 25580 I can narrow it down to having a capacity of 5,200 or 6,000 lbs. In the case of replacement hubs for the axle, the hub assemblies for either will work for you. I have included a link to these for you. You'll need your wheel bolt pattern in order to narrow the results. The most common is going to be the 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. For this you could use # 8-213-5UC1 for a wheel hub assembly and # 8-201-5UC3 for a hub and drum...
view full answer... - Available Hubs That Use Bearings 25580 and LM67048We do have hubs that use your same set of bearings, parts # 25580 and # LM67048. Please note that both of these bearings can be used as an inner bearing or as an outer bearing so you will want to be sure which part goes where as you review our range of hubs shown on the linked page. As examples, if the inner bearing is 25580 and the outer bearing is LM67048 we have compatible 6-lug hubs such as hub/drum # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which is rated for 5200-lb axles and idler hub # 8-213-5UC1.

- Idler Hub and Spindle Recommendation with 5,200 lb Capacity and 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt PatternFor a spindle that fits the hub part # 8-213-5UC1 you'd want the part # 52655IEU which comes with the 5,200 lb hub you mentioned and the correct matching spindle for you to install. The hub you mentioned will not fit the agricultural spindle you mentioned due to the difference in seal dimensions.
view full answer... - Availability Of Timbren Heavy Duty Axle-Less Suspension 3500lb For Off-Road TiresThere sure is! You will need the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS02 which has the 4" lift, and wide spindles designed for off-road tires that you were looking for. This system is compatible with idler hubs # 8-213-5UC1 or hub and drum assemblies # 8-201-9UC3-EZ with braking assemblies # AKEBRK-7-SA. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look 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... - 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...

These come with the correct bearings that you need for your spindle but you will need to also purchase the correct Grease Seal, part # RG06-070, as the seal that comes with either hub is slightly too small.

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.

- 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...

So the correct Bearing Buddy would be part # BB2441 or if you want the stainless steel version that will resist corrosion much better you would want the # BB2441SS instead.

These are what is needed to select a replacement that will fit on your existing spindles. We actually have six different hubs that use your inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # LM67048. These include both idler type hubs like # 8-213-5UC1 and also hub/drums like # 8-201-5UC3-EZ. All displayed hubs that use these bearings are rated for either 5200-lb axles or 6000-lb axles. Most use the popular 6-on-5-1/2 wheel bolt pattern...
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Drum To Replace A Lippert 122093From what I could find out, the Lippert 122093 will use the # 25580 inner bearing and the # LM67048 outer bearing. This means that the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-5UC3-EZ will be a perfect fit. This will use the same bearings and has a 12" inner diameter. It also includes the grease seal, cap, and lug nuts, so it is a full replacement.
view full answer... - Replacement Idler Hub for 5200 lb AxleUnfortunately, we don't offer an idler hub with a 5 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern that's compatible. Given the ID of the bearings you provided, you have a 5200 lb axle. If you can switch to a hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern, the # 8-213-5UC1 would be compatible if the surface of the spindle where the grease seal rides is 2.125 inches in diameter. The hub includes the 25580 inner and LM67048 outer bearings, the corresponding races, the grease seal, dust cap and the lug nuts.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs With Bearings 25580 and LM67048 and Brakes Which FitTo replace your idler hubs with a hub and drum for electric brakes, what you can do is use Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3 and replace its grease seal with # GS-2250DL, which has the same outer diameter as your current seal so it will work for you. This hub has a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern so finding wheels to fit should be no problem. The idler hub assembly would be # 8-213-5UC1. The hub and drum takes 12" brake assemblies, and the electric brakes that will work are # AKEBRK-6...

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...
