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"

The hubs are good and came with grease but the bearings were not packed. One carrying case got destroyed during shipping, they were just thrown inside the box. You know how shipping employees treat packages these days. Hubs seem to be high quality. Time will tell.
by: Joseph03/01/2024
I would have given this product an Excellent rating but the plastic storage box was broken on delivery. The storage box was the reason I purchased the pre-packed hub set; I planned on using the hub as an extra emergency roadside hub if one of my hubs ever failed. The pre-packed hub is a great idea for people who put a lot of miles on the trailers and know the cost associated with a tire or hub failing while on the road and this hub is worth the money just for the peace of mind.
by: Derek 04/29/2024
Great wheel hubs no problems at all. I would certainly purchase again..

Always good to have a quality backup in case of roadside blowout

The staff at etrailer.com is awesome, I received my C.E. Smith trailer hud kit and everything is perfect. With all the different trailer axle configurations they go out of there way to try and. Are sure you have exactly what up you need and when you have an issue and need to return an item they work with you, no question asked.
Thank you for all the support and fast delivery. I will definitely recommend and purchase all trailer needs from etrailer.com Again!

The online ordering was easy and customer service is the best,,,and will be putting in an order in a few weeks
by: James09/07/2019
It’s delivered ready to go. Greased up and ready to install immediately. The carrying case keeps everything together. This is perfect for a road traveler who wants some spare parts for on the road repairs.
by: William V06/25/2023
It was easy to install and was fast. I have ordered one for the other side of my pontoon trailer.
by: Tim 08/31/2022
So my 8 year old trailer had worn bearings and tires. I purchased wheels, tires and the CE Smith bearing kit from ETrailer.
My order arrived in 3-4 days and I received a follow up email. The wheel/tire combo is bolt on ready and OEM to my trailer. The bearing kit comes in a sealed plastic case and is a drop in part (pre greased). So in less than an hour I had a fresh trailer.
I drove my trailer to the beach (a 600+ mile round trip) loaded down. I had zero issues, so I am thrilled!
Only time will tell overall, but ETrailer is earning my trust. Cheers
by: Barry06/24/2018
Ordered Monday delivered Thursday on the trailer Friday 150 miles round trip to the lake Saturday great product
by: Tyler07/14/2022
Tab that keeps lid shut arrived broken, making the case not able to close Bearings have grease on the outside but are not packed properly.
Great idea on a whole hub kit for on the road but not executed well.

The hubs seem like excellent replacements for my 30 year old trailer. It came with a nice hard case that I plan on using with my old hubs for an emergency kit. I docked 2 stars because both bearings weren't properly packed. Of course I damaged the grease seals during removal forcing me to order 2 new seals. Luckily grease seals are relatively cheap but still highly disappointed that the manufacturer over looked a vital part. I would still recommend this kit but be prepared to pack the bearings. I rarely write reviews but I hope this review helps someone in the future from making a costly and potentially dangerous mistake.
by: John07/14/2018
New hub works great and fits the tapered spindle on our Calkins boat trailer perfectly. Very smooth wheel bearing rotation and easy to adjust. Arrived pre-packed with just the right amount of marine grease. Dust cap is a very tight fit and requires a pretty good tap to seat, so I'm confident that it'll keep the water out. Includes a zerk fitting to inject more grease if needed in the future.
by: Jeremy04/24/2020
Easy to install. Exactly what I needed
My old hubs were not bad. Whoever had the boat before me kept them greased well. Just took off wheels then nuts and washer that holds hub on and slide new one on. They are heavily pre greased some will push out the front which is fine just be prepared. So far everything is great. Came with new koter pin and nice case. I put my old hubs in the cases and will have in case of emergency. Highly recommend

Fast and easy
by: Steve05/07/2020
I'm glad I bought wheel hub and bearings thru these folk at etrailer. The hub assembly was sent right out, even with the Covid lock down. The product itself was ready to go// I'm a happy guy.
by: Ronald06/09/2022
Nice spare hub kit. I don't even have to pack the bearings. I hope I never need it but as compact as it is I will store it under my truck's rear seat and it may save me some grief someday. I love the plastic carry case. Even came with lug nuts.
by: Jon B03/09/2017
Perfect package for an emergency repair. Fortunately I have not had to use it since the hubs and bearings I bought from etrailer.com have worked flawlessly. Many local trips and one 1,500 mile trip with no problems at all.
by: Randy 10/04/2020
GREAT customer service. I actually tried to order a different manufacturer's hubs but they were out of stock! Got an email within an hour of placing the order with recommendation of these CE Smith Hubs. They were CHEAPER! They were high quality and pre-greased!! Saved over $60.00 overall on my order! Cant say enough good!
by: Ronnie 01/17/2023
Perfect fit, easiest installation yet.< br>Thanks
by: Ron01/24/2021
Although I love the convenience of the whole kit, the fact that the bearings were not packed disappointed me, they did have grease on them but that is not the same. Outers were easy but trashed the grease seals to take the inners out and pack them correctly.
by: T. James05/12/2015
I have ordered many items from etrailer over the last couple of years. Everything has been shipped on time, packaged well and exactly as advertised. I could not be happier with this company. I've read the reviews and must say that anything negative must be extremely rare. I've had nothing but a good experience each and every time. Thanks to Kat in customer service. Very attentive.
by: David 12/17/2021
Very satisfied with my order, quick delivery, packaged well in shipping box, hub in its plastic box. The hub and bearings were greased, hub was easy to install. Extremely pleased with etrailer’s service.
by: Lydia 09/26/2020
Bought this to carry as a spare in case of breakdown on long trips. I really like that it has a grease fitting between the seal and inner bearing. Also like the case it comes in. Very satisfied with this purchase.
by: Keith S.07/14/2021
Outstanding site with a very easy to use product finder. These hub assemblies come with the bearings prepacked and shipped in its own hard plastic case. Only site I was able to quickly and easily find the hubs I needed for my trailer. Ordered on Sunday and arrived on Tuesday. Will definitely use etrailer.com again for any of my trailer needs.

- Can CE Smith Trailer Hub Replace Hub that Was on EZ Lube AxleThe CE Smith trailer hub assembly part # CE13511 will work for you and yes you could reuse the dust cap you have now that has the rubber plug for access to the zerk fitting. Or you could just cover up the zerk fitting with the included cover as well.
view full answer... - Dimensions of CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 3,500-lb AxlesThe hub flange outer diameter on the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # CE13511 is 6-1/2". I went out to the warehouse and measured the hub height on the grease seal side. Measuring from the highest point where the wheel studs are is 1-1/2". Measuring from the depressed spot in between the wheel studs is 2". I have attached a video review as well as a diagram showing the measurements for your reference.

- Replacement Trailer Hubs for a 2015 Casita Travel TrailerIn order to determine whether or not the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly part # CE13511 will fit your trailer, I would need to know the bearing numbers/measurements and the grease seal numbers/measurements on the trailer hubs you have now. There are two ways to obtain this information. You can take the hubs apart and look for part numbers/measure the spindle or you can provide me with the VIN and I can call the trailer manufacturer and ask them what your bearings/seals are. If you decide...
view full answer... - Replacement 3500 Spindles for Lund Boat TrailerIf the spindle is damaged, it'll need to be replaced. The # CE13511 CE Smith hub is compatible with a 3500 lb axle that uses an L68149 inner/L44649 outer wheel bearing and a 10-19 grease seal. For a spindle, you'll need a 3500 lb spindle, but the exact spindle needed will depend on your axle tube and how the current spindles are attached. I'll link to our 3500 lb spindles, but installing a trailer spindle is NOT a do-it-yourself job. Because the old spindle needs to be cut off and the...

- Could CE Smith 3,500 lb Trailer Hub Fit 2001 EZ LoaderWe don't have a way to know what axle your EZ Loader trailer has but based on what we've seen over the years it is pretty likely that your 2001 EZ Loader has a 3,500 lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern as that's very common in general and also very common for EZ Loader trailers so it's very likely that the CE Smith hub part # CE13511 would work. You can pretty easily verify this by looking for the tag on the axle and see if it says 3,500 lb or measure the diameter of the axle and...
view full answer... - Will CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - CE13511 Work with 14 Inch WheelsCE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased Item # CE13511 will work with 14 inch wheels. The maximum wheel size it is compatible with is a 15 inch but you aren't limited to using just 15 inch wheels with this hub. So 14 inch wheels will work well too! Regarding the spindles if there is any discoloration of the metal or cuts, scrapes, or any other damage to them then they should not be used or, at the very least, if you are not sure have...
view full answer... - Is CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly Ready to InstallYes, the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 3,500-lb Axles # CE13511 is ready to be installed right out of the case. It is pre-greased which includes the bearings so there is no need to pack them when you first install the hub.
view full answer... - Which Replacement Hub for Shoreland'r SLR22L Boat TrailerAccording to Shorlandr, your SLR22L trailer uses hubs with a L44649 inner and outer bearing. The # CE13511 hub you mentioned uses a different inner bearing, so it won't work for you. The good news is that the # CE13311 is the correct hub, assuming your existing hub has a 5 lug on a 4-1/2 inch bolt circle. Or, even better, since it's a boat trailer we offer a corrosion resistant galvanized version of the 5 on 4-1/2 as well, available as part # CE13315. The replacement hubs include 1/2-20...
view full answer... - Will the CE Smith CE13511 Replace a Dico 45264 Hub?From what I could find out about the Dico 45264 hub, the CE Smith # CE13511 will be a good replacement. That being said, the Dico hubs did utilize a different size seal than any of our offerings would come with as a standard. You will also need the Dexter Double Lip Seal # 168255TB to go along with the # CE13511 to get everything working properly.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub for DICO 45264Yes, the CE Smith Trailer Hub part # CE13511 will fit as a replacement for your DICO hub 45264 but you will need to use a different seal as we have found that your spindle diameter is slightly different which means you need the # 168255TB as well.
view full answer... - Will the CE Smith CE13511 replace a Titan 45264 Hub?Titan acquired Dico some time ago, so the Titan 45264 hub you have will actually be the exact same as the Dico 45264. So with that being said, the CE Smith # CE13511 will be a good replacement. However, the Titan/Dico hubs did utilize a different size seal than any of our offerings would come with as a standard. You will also need the Dexter Double Lip Seal # 168255TB to go along with the # CE13511 to get everything working properly.
view full answer... - What Brand and Color Grease is Used on the 13511 CE Smith Trailer Hub AssemblyI reached out to CE Smith and found that they use Kendal grease on the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13511. The grease color they use is the red grease like # L11390, although they did say it is possible it may be tan but it is the same thing.
view full answer... - UFP Hubs Spare for Trailer that Uses Bearing Numbers L44649 L68149The CE Smith hub part # CE13511 is exactly the hub you need as a spare. It matches the bearings and grease seal inner diameter so it would fit and work great. It also comes pre-greased.
view full answer... - Hub Replacement Recommendation for DICO Hub part 45264Yes, the CE Smith Trailer Hub part # CE13511 will fit as a replacement for your DICO hub 45264 but you will need to use a different seal as we have found that your spindle diameter is slightly different which means you need the # 168255TB as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Bearing Kit For a Meher 3,750lb Trailer AxleBased on information I was able to find online it looks like your Meher 3,750lb axle uses the same Bearing Kit # BK2-100 as a standard 3,500lb axle. Depending on your exact bolt pattern it may be better to carry a spare Hub # CE13511 as this is much easier to put on in a roadside breakdown. This particular hub has the commonly found 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub For 2016 ShoreLand'r LUXR2314S7MH Boat TrailerThe CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13511 does use the same Inner Bearing # L68149 and Outer Bearing # L44649 as the ShoreLand'r Hub 4470400. This will work as a replacement for your ShoreLand'r model 2016 LUXR2314S7MH.
view full answer... - 3,500 lb Capacity Idler Hub Recommendation that Comes with Marine-Grade GreaseI have a solution for you, but the part # AKIHUB-545-35-K does not come with marine grade grease. Instead you would want the part # CE13511 as it is essentially the same spec hub in terms of bolt pattern and what spindle it fits except it does come with marine-grade grease.

You may consider the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 3,500-lb Axles part # CE13511 this is the same type hub with a slightly different look but will do the exact same job and uses the same bearings and seals. It also comes pre greased to eliminate that step. Check out the video I did on them that I have linked for you.

It will fit your wheels with the 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern.

view full answer... - How to Match Replacement Hub to Ensure CompatibilitySelecting a compatible hub requires matching a few factors, among these the bearings, which must match in order for the hub to fit on your spindles. You also need to match the wheel bolt pattern on the hub to that on your wheels and the weight rating of the hub to that of the axle. The linked page displays all hubs for 3500-lb axles.

You will then use your Grease Gun # L30416 to fill the hub with Grease # L11390 until you see it filling the entire hub and covering the spindle nut. Be sure to also watch the grease seal on the back of the hub to ensure that grease does not push through the grease seal.
