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"

Every order with eTrailer is a pleasure. This trailer hub kit is exactly what I needed, and comes complete with everything needed to replace the hub, short of grease.

Dexter hubs are a perfect fit to Dexter brake assemblies. Perfect fit and brake good. Self adjustors keep the trailer brakes always adjusted correctly.
Drums are machined round and true, not like willfit drums which have to be turned
by: Local Jamok01/10/2020
What can I say name brand quality never need to adjust trailer brakes why would you buy anything else. Braking is much more balanced and dependable.

Received three out of four in great shape. The fourth had damaged parts inside but etrailer sent me new parts. Used these to change from UTG to regular rims. Tire changes so much easier. I always recommend etrailer.

Item was shipped and delivered very quickly. Shipping container was damaged, but items were fine. Top quality product at a Great Price. 4 stars because shipping container was to big for heavy drums. Drums were able to move freely. Corner of box had a large tear in it (open). Nothing fell out of container, drums had some rub wear marks. Thanks for the fast shipment and quality product.

- Difference Between Dexter Hub and Drums 42866UC3 & 42866UC3-EZThe only difference between the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ and the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3 is that # 42866UC3-EZ is designed to be used with #42 E-Z lube spindles and # 42866UC3 is meant for regular #42 spindles. Other than that, # 42866UC3-EZ and # 42866UC3 are the same.

The only difference is bolt pattern. There are 6 on 5-1/2 assemblies that will only be compatible with 5200 lbs where the 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern will stretch to the other weight capacities.

- Why is Axle with Same Diameter as 3500lb Axle Rated at 2990lbFor your 2990 lb rated axle with the same 2-3/8 inch diameter as 3500 lb axles, there may be other factors such as the outer wall or bearing sizes that ultimately reduce the rating of your particular axle below 3500 lbs.

- What Information is Needed to Pick Out the Correct Replacement Hub and DrumIn order to determine which replacement hub and drum you would need to replace your current parts, you will need to either get the numbers that are stamped on your bearings, or you will need to get some precise measurements from your spindle. The measurements you need will be where the seal and bearings ride. Check out the picture I attached to see which measurements are needed. I attached a video on removing and reinstalling trailer hubs for you to check out also.

- If a Hub Fits 5K to 7K Axles, What Makes a 7K Axle More Heavy Duty than a 5K AxleA hub such as # 42866UC3 fits on the spindle which is welded to the axle and spindles can have different capacities as well. The camber or bow of an axle, its length, the quality of materials, the diameter, and many other factors go into its capacity rating. So in a way, yes, it is all in the axle tube, that and other factors as mentioned above. Ideally you will get parts that are rated the same as the axle. Otherwise you can end up with a poor ride or tracking problems. Adding higher...

Since your wheel has a center bore of 4.9 inches it would easily fit on this hub.

view full answer... - Identifying Axle on 2013 Jayco 30.5 BHLT 5th WheelAccording to Dexter, your 2013 Jayco 30.5 BHLT axles are 5,200 lb E-Z lube axles. This means you would be able to use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3 you were looking at assuming you want the 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. If you were also looking for the length this is an 86" long axle with a 68-1/2" spring center.

- What is the Inner Diameter of Trailer Bearing # 25580 and Trailer Bearing # 14125AI went out to the warehouse and pulled bearing # 25580, and # 14125A, to measure them. Bearing # 25580 has an inner diameter of 1.74 inches. Bearing # 14125A has an inner diameter of 1.225 inches. I used digital dial calipers to take the measurements.
view full answer... - Should Grease Be Added to EZ Lube Trailer Hubs if the Bearings were Manually Packed with GreaseOn EZ lube hubs and axles you would want to add grease until it is full (when you see it flow out). When that happens it indicates that the proper amount of grease is in the hub. Having the bearings packed and the little bit of grease you have added is probably fine but it is better to be safe and fill 'em up!
view full answer... - Upgrading from 6 Lug to 8 Lug On Dexter 6K AxleIn order to upgrade from a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern to a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern on a Dexter 6K Axle you'll need the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 42866UC3-EZ.

- Greasing Bearings and Hub for Dexter EZ Lube Hub and Drum for 5.2K to 7K Axles, 8 on 6-1/2If you have EZ lube axles then the hubs most likely use a double lip seal (which is what comes with hub # 42866UC3-EZ) that is going to be able to handle the use of a grease gun. But make sure to use a manual grease gun because the powered models do create much more pressure and can blow a grease seal. Make sure the grease used in the grease gun is the same as the grease used to pack the bearings or, if different, make sure they two greases are compatible. I have included a link to a helpful...
view full answer... - Spare Hub Recommendation for 2016 Keystone Outback with 5,200 lb AxlesSince you have the EZ lube spindles the correct hub you'd need is the part # 42866UC3-EZ. The agricultural 42 spindle has the same dimensions as the non-agricultural spindle so either way this is the correct fit.
view full answer... - Castle Nut Torque Spec for 7,000 Pound Trailer AxleThere is no specific torque rating when reinstalling the castle nut after packing the bearings. You want to run the nut down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then back it off to the next notch in the castle nut so the retainer can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. I have attached a video showing this process. If you jump to the 4:45 minute mark, you can see the procedure outlined above.
