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 and bearings seem to be of good quality. Made in china, but everything is now. Perfect fit. Very satisfied. Fast delivery.
by: Gregg 11/17/2022
Hubs look good and hopefully won't rust like the last ones, although the lugs and nuts are still mild steel.
by: Christopher 11/09/2023
Everything went together great, and survived the Freshman year College Bass Fishing, over 5k miles.
I didn't use the provided seals & caps, I used Bearing Buddy.
by: Jerry F. 08/13/2017
These Glavanized Idler hubs are a great product. Making the hubs galvanized is a nice feature that adds corrosion protection. I purchased them to replace the hubs on a older boat trailer that had multiple broken studs and damaged bearings. These etrailer hubs come with a new set of bearings (races pre-installed), seals, lug nuts and dust caps. Note: I am using bearing buddies instead of the stock dust caps. I like that this assembly does not have pre-greased bearings because I prefer to choose the brand of marine wheel bearing grease used. I am very pleased with the quality of the hub assembly.
by: Steve04/20/2019
Easy hub identification for my trailer 2500 lbs, once you identify inner and outer bearing, just click on the bearing needed and the hubs will sort out for you from painted to galvanized, I had about 12 to choose from, so I chose the etrailer blue dot galvanized that were in the middle of the price range, comes with everything needed except washer and stainless steel cotter pin which I reused off of my hubs, these are not pre greased which enables me to choose a grease of my choice such as water displacing, easy installation, bearing buddies were also added to the project that went well with these hubs.
by: Paul07/22/2018
The eTrailer team was once again amazing! Went into Will Call to try and replace some hub studs. They turned out to be a size no longer made. Lisa at etrailer took the time to help me find the perfect replacement idler hub for my boat trailer. Had it shipped to my house overnight. Found the installation video on the etrailer web site for this exact hub and within 30 minutes I had the old hub off and this new hub installed. This hub fit perfectly! Put this on an old Heritage Boat trailer replacing a Hayes hub (H-1377).
Once this was changed out I was immediately able to put my boat on the trailer and haul it down the road. I will be replacing the other idler hub and rear breaking hubs next so I don't have to deal with that same hub stud challenge.
by: Esther S.01/25/2018
Received items earlier than expected , everything fit perfectly so now I will order 4 more . Two to finish other side of trailer and the other two as spares , you can never be too safe ! The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that I had to run to auto zone for cotter pins , I know it doesn’t say it comes with cotter pins but I think they should ! I may update my review later when I get some miles on these nice hubs !

Great products and fast service. Every time I order service great.

Hubs are great no problems at all.
by: Richard Hewett09/17/2016
Ordered this hub to replace one on my boat trailer. The page you have is very good as it helps you to pick the right parts. All I had to do was match the inner bearing and the outer bearing and bolt pattern. Perfect fit. I highly recommend e trailer and I'm sure I will use you again.
by: Mike03/16/2024
Good product at an affordable price: My customer service rep, Jamie, was friendly and extreamly helpful
by: Gary R07/16/2020
The new hubs and bearings were easy to install and they have worked great. Thanks to etrailer I can safely tow my boat to the bay and enjoy time on the water again!
by: Aldon07/18/2023
This company sold me the hubs, claiming to have them to me in three days. I needed the hubs badly and quickly. They did not show up, and research indicated they were not going to show up for another week. I traveled 150 miles (300 round trip), bought the same hubs from a store. I put these hubs in the trash.
by: Raymond S12/27/2016
another successful project completed !!
PB blaster and Lubrimatic bearing marine lube (550 deg dropping point), highest on the market
by: dennis07/14/2017
Complete waste of time and money. I bought both springs, and this set of u-bolts plates from etrailer for a new 2" square axle. The u-bolts are too short. I'd suggest someone buy a new tape measure.
I also had to grind down the spring center bolt as it stuck out of the small adapter plate and kept the spring from seating correctly (used the adapter palte which came with the springs instead of drilling a big hole in my brand new axle.)
It is getting harder and harder to get the parts I need from these folks.
Now waiting for parts to come from another vendor.
by: Edgar 11/05/2023
IT WAS A PERFECT FIT WITH NO DRIVEABILITY ISSUES.

Great service, part was delivered earlier then expected and fit great! Would make more purchases in the future

Supply Chain Stinks! But Shawnee E with etrailer came through with options!
by: Frank 03/29/2021
Easy install on to my double axel EZ-Loader boat trailer. I replaced the factory oil bath hubs and brake drum units with these and a disc brake kit. I opted for Bearing Buddy's in lieu of the bearing end caps that came with this kit. My boat & trailer sees a lot of salt water/Puget Sound. It all works really good!
by: Martin 03/31/2021
If you are replacing the hubs on your saltwater trailer these will fill the bill. Each comes pre-greased for quick installation with lug nuts, cotter pin and grease cap, everything needed to install. They are of highest quality and galvanized for many seasons of use.
by: Carl09/13/2023
Thank you for your prompt service
by: Joey06/21/2023
A bit pricey especially when shipping cost more than the item. Items could’ve shipped flat rate box. Item it’s self is great.
by: Wes06/02/2021
Very pleased with my first order from etrailer. I needed tech help in choosing the correct hub assembly. Hold time was frustratingly long (20 min.) on weekdays, but on Saturday morning I got through in five minutes. "Steve" was very knowledgable and helpful and steered me quickly to the correct parts. They shipped same day and arrived quickly and in good shape. Easy installation too.
by: Lee10/31/2017
Rebuilt boat trailer and replace old hubs with these. Used boat this summer, lake is about 20 miles from home. Trailer pulls and tracks fine! Very satisfied!
by: Bobby k10/20/2016
Bought 2 hubs to keep as spares for a a long tow. Fantastic deal for a hub complete with bearings,seal,lug nuts,and dust cap.
Etrailer.com is my first source for everything.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Replacement Idler Hub for Boat Trailer With 3500 lb AxleFor a 3500 lb axle, each hub would be rated for 1750 lbs, but would still be referred to as a '3500 lb hub'. If your existing hub uses a L68149 inner and a L44649 outer hub with an Inner Diameter of 1.378 and 1.063 inches respectively, you do indeed have a typical 3500 lb axle and the etrailer branded # AKIHUB-545-35-K hub would be the correct replacement, assuming your existing wheels have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. This being said, since this is for a boat trailer, I'd recommend...
view full answer... - Recommended Galvanized Trailer Idler Hub for Trailer with 3,500 Lb Axle Yes, we do have exactly what you're looking for in the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K for standard or part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K for easy grease which both have a galvanized finish. Furthermore, the kit comes with new wheel nuts as well so you'll have pretty much a new setup.
view full answer... - Can You Switch From Hubs/Drums to Idler Hubs On a Boat Trailer with 3,500 Lb AxleIt is certainly possible to switch from hubs/drums to idler hubs on a trailer axle. For a boat trailer with 3,500 lb axle(s), the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K or part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K for EZ-Lube would be just what you need. There would be no need for a new spindle either.
view full answer... - Replacement Idler Hub for Hub Stamped With TMW 46210 1209It appears TMW is a overseas company which I could not find much information. The 46210 is a common hub number for a 3,500lb idler hub with 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This would use either the Idler Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K for standard spindles or the Easy Grease Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K if your spindle has a grease zerk on the end of the spindle. The 1209 may be a date code or batch type number the manufacturer used to identify and changes in materials or processing.
view full answer... - What Size Spindle Does the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-KThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K that you referenced is designed to fit the number 84 spindle.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Wheel Center Cap Cause Trailer Hub to Retain too Much HeatSounds like you are asking if using trailer center cap covers for the pilot hole will significantly increase the heat of a trailer hub. The answer is no, they would not. A hub that is in good shape and has good bearings will not put out enough heat for a wheel center cap to be what causes it to overheat.
view full answer... - Correct Replacement Hubs for Bass Tracker Tournament V-17In order to find the correct replacement idler hubs for a trailer you'll need to know the axle capacity. I do show that the Bass Tracker Tournament V-17s use a 3,500 lb axle. You'll want to verify this by looking for the axle capacity on the tag but so long as its 3,500 lbs you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K. In order to find the correct replacement leaf springs you'll need to measure what you have now while unloaded.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Trailer Axle Based On MeasuringWe don't have a way to look up exactly what axle you need based on what you listed but we can still help. When picking out an axle for a trailer you'll need to know the overall length of it from hub face to hub face as well as the distance between the spring seat centers to pick out correct size. I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry.
view full answer... - Is Galvanized Finish On AxleTek Idler Trailer Hub Hot-Dipped Or Spray Coated I contacted the manufacturer and they told me the galvanized finish on hubs # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K hubs are hot-dipped. This idler hub is designed for 3,500-lb axles and has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. This hub comes with the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, and lug nuts.
view full answer... - Is The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K an Individual Part or Set? The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K is for a single individual hub. If you are replacing both hubs on your axle you will need to order 2 and these are not side specific, so you can place on either drivers or passengers side.

view full answer... - What Replacement Hubs do I Need for My 3500 Pound Boat Trailer Axle?Thanks so much for providing those details! Based on your bearing numbers, you definitely have a 3.5k axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. For replacement hubs, I recommend the Easy Grease Trailer Hub/Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K (if you have E-Z Lube or Easy Grease spindles) or the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K (if you have standard spindles). Both...
view full answer... - Spare Idler Hub for 3,500 lb Axle With 5 on 4-1/2 Inch Bolt PatternFor a 3500 lb axle, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K is the correct fit if you have the E-Z Lube spindles with the built in grease zerk. If you have standard spindles without the grease zerk, then you will want # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K. If you don't need the galvanized option or the EZ Lube option, then you can use # CE13511 which is pre-greased with a carrying case.
view full answer... - Replacement Idler Hubs For Boat Trailer With UFP Hub and 1.68 Grease SealsYou are going to have to get the Grease Seal # 168255TB and replace the seal included with either the Easy Grease # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K or Standard Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K. We do not have any hub kits which come with the 1.68" inner diameter seal as a kit currently. Both the hubs above are galvanized so they will last longer on your boat trailer since they are more corrosion resistant than a standard painted hub.
view full answer... - Grease Seal for 3,500 Lb Axle With 2.325 Inch Outer DiameterI do have an option for you but it sounds like you have a very odd grease seal as the grease seal most commonly used with the L68149 and L44649 bearings is a 58846 which measures 1.719" inner diameter x 2.565" outer diameter. Unfortunately, we do not have any grease seals with a 1.719" inner diameter x 2.325" outer diameter so your best option is a new hub, the Trailer Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K or part # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K.
view full answer... - Is Seal Included with Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles 5 on 4-1/2 Single or Double LipThe seal that comes with hub # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K is # 58846 which is a double-lip seal with the spring. I have linked a video review of this hub for you.
view full answer... - Will The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K Work With Dexter EZ Lube Grease Cap? Yes, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K will work with your Dexter EZ Lube Cap # 21-41-1. We do have the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K which includes a similar style EZ lube cap rather than the standard cap.
view full answer... - How To Find Correct Replacement Hubs for Ram-Lin Boat TrailerI have a few options for you to help with identifying the hub on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find the bearings based off industry standards. For example, a 2,000 lb axle uses L44649 bearings like what comes with the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K. The other option would be to take the hubs off the trailer...

If you have an EZ-Lube axle you need the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. If you have a standard axle you need the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K.

Both of these hubs have an # L68149 inner bearing and an # L44649 outer bearing along with a grease seal that has a 1.719" inner bearing.
