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"

Come with good bearings that roll smooth and seals, fit nicely, and the studs had nice threads and lug nuts. Only gripe is they will start to surface rather quickly if you run them in the winter with salt on the roads and use them on a small boat trailer like I am, so I’d suggest spraying them with some nice rust preventing spray paint as soon as you can. 628840

They fit the axle perfectly, however the end caps that were supplied did not fit the hubs they both were too big and would not go on, I had to reuse the old caps that came off the original hubs and the fit the new hubs perfectly. the video below shows two caps there was only the one solid cap supplied, the solid one not the one with the rubber end to grease when needed. 877219

Would you rather get bearings for $20 or a whole pre greased hub with sparkling lugs and a new dust cap for $40? Spend the extra $20 and save yourself some time to get back to the real things you want to do. Like towing your camper to your next overnight trip. Don't forget to re-tourq your lugs after the first 100 miles. 822715

by: Dillon06/04/2019
The hub, bearings, seal, and internal races were all satisfactory and installed great after packing and preload, however the grease cap is a joke. Trying to finish my job, the caps would NOT install into the hub ends with any gentle force. Tried to increase the force to get them on, and they simply give in and begin to flatten in towards the castle nut. Absolute garbage. I've never fought grease caps so bad in my life. I had to use my old ones. These new ones would not install - and even if they did at this point, they're so jacked up they'd rub the end of the axle. 0 stars for those caps. Don't ever send me anymore. Garbage. 653043

I ordered 2 trailer wheels, 2 wheel hub sets, 2 spindles and spare grease seals for future hub bearing maintenance. These items were shipped within 5 days. All parts were securely packaged in several layers of extra heavy duty boxes, then placed in a larger extra heavy duty box with handle cut outs. All the boxes were fastened together with heavy duty staples and all seams were sealed. Price, shipping and parts are excellent. Could not of had a better experience anywhere else. I will order all my future trailer parts from e-trailer. 599639

Ask the Experts about this etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums
- Determining BT8 or BTR Spindle on TrailerThe easiest way will be to pull off a trailer wheel and hub and then use a caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the spindle diameter where the bearings ride. If the diameter is .99 then you have the BT8 spindle or if it's 1.06 you have the BTR. The trailer hub # AKIHUB-440-2-G-2K you referenced would be what you'd need if you have the BT8. If instead you have the BTR you'd want the part # AKIHUB-440-2-2K.
view full answer... - How to Determine if 4-Lug Trailer Hubs can be Changed to 5-Lug Trailer HubsIt is possible you can just swap out a 4-lug hub with a 5-lug hub so long as you know the hub you need. And in order to determine this (if you aren't sure already), there's a number of things you'll need to know. First, you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly...

- 5 Lug Hub That Can Fit Spindle with BTR DimensionsThanks for the picture you included that has the dimensions of your spindle. Based on that you do have a BTR spindle so for a hub with the 5 lug bolt pattern you wan you'd need the # 8-259-50UC1 and you'd be set. Your spindle not having a grease fitting is also not a big deal at all. That does not affect the fit of the hub to the spindle at all.

- What Is the Difference Between a BTR and BT8 SpindleThe BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643 bearing. In order to find out which you have you will need to pull the hub and either measure the spindle or look for the bearing numbers on the bearing. If you have BTR spindles then you can use part # AKIHUB-440-2-2K.
view full answer... - How to Find Replacement Hubs With 4 on 4" Bolt PatternThere are hubs available with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern but the measurements you gave are not what is needed to find them. Instead you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; 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 such as # 301-17068...

view full answer... - Trailer Hub to Fit Spindle with 1.06 Bearing Diameters on SpindleYou are going to have to send the hubs back and go with ones that fit the BTR spindle you have on your trailer like the # AKIHUB-440-2-2K. It's not just a matter of swapping bearings.

- How to Determine Replacement Hub for Trailer Based on Spindle DimensionIn order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out. Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub...

- Replacement Hub and Wheel For Unitized Hub on 2000-lbs Axles with Inner Bearing L44649I have a solution for you on this, but we do not have any unitized assemblies available, so you would need to get a new hub and wheel for your trailer. I'll also mention that the # AKIHUB-440-2-2K won't work for you since the grease seal does not match up with the 1.250" ID of the National seal you mentioned. However, you can use the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 2,700-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Pre-Greased # CE13109 which use # L44649 inner and outer bearings and have a grease...

view full answer... - How Do I Determine Which Hub Kit I Need for My 2009 TrailStar Boat Trailer for my 18' Grizzly Boat? The best way to determine your spindle diameter is to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157. Sadly, there is no national registry for trailers like there is for vehicles. So, unless you have the original owner's manual, the only way to determine the replacement parts you need is to remove them and get some measurements. I've attached a diagram showing exactly the measurements I will need in order to determine the correct hubs, bearings and seals you need for your 2009 TrailStar Boat Trailer...

- Is a 4 on 4 Inch Hub Compatible with a 4 on 100mm Wheel?A 4 on 100mm wheel will not work with a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern hub. 100mm is 3.937 inches so it would not allow the wheels to be centered on your hubs. You will even on low speed applications like you mentioned need the matching bolt pattern for your hubs and wheels. We don't have hubs to match the 4 on 100mm, so I have linked the page to all the 4 on 4 inch wheels compatible with a 4 on 4 inch hub. If you let me know the capacity you are seeking I'd be happy to make a recommendation...
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs for Axle Spindle with 1.06 Inch DiameterThe best way to match hubs to an axle/spindle is going to be by finding a hub with the same size bearings as the ones that you removed; you can usually find numbers stamped on the backs of the bearings that designate their size. The Trailer Idler Hub # AKIHUB-440-2-1K you were looking at uses an # L44643 inner and outer bearing, which has a 1.00" I.D., so it's going to be just a tad too small, but we do have a solution for you. Instead, I recommend that you use something like the etrailer...

In order to choose the right hub you will have to do one of two things. You can either measure where the inner and outer bearing ride on the spindle using a digital caliper such as part # PTW80157 or you could remove the old bearings and note the part number stamped inside. For a inner and outer diameter of 1.063" or part # L44649, you will need the Trailer Idler Hub...

- Difference Between Trailer Hubs # AKIHUB-440-2-2K and # AKIHUB-440-2-1KThey both are very similar but they fit different spindles. The part # AKIHUB-440-2-2K fits the BTR spindles and the part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K fits the BT8 spindles instead. If you are unsure which spindle you have email me back with the dimensions of your spindle or the bearing numbers out of your old hub.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Wheel for Trailer with 1.062-Inch Diameter SpindleSelecting a replacement or spare trailer wheel/tire requires matching the wheel bolt pattern, weight rating, tire size and tire weight load range. If what you're looking for is a wheel with a fixed hub/bearing, like the ones often used on wheel barrows, we do not have that type but many farm-type stores have these. If your trailer uses a straight spindle like # TRU44FR, which has a 1.06-inch diameter where the bearings ride, then we do have idler hub kits. Part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ is...

- Locating Replacement Hubs for Harbor Freight Trailer Most likely we have the correct hubs needed to replace the existing units on your Harbor Freight Trailer. In order to determine which hubs you need, I recommend pulling one of the current hubs on the trailer and removing the bearings.

If you cannot read the numbers, you can also take a few different measurements along the spindle where the bearings sit. You will...

These will both fit 1 inch spindles and have all the needed parts, so you just pack the bearings and install on your spindle. For grease use # L11465 for grease packer use # PTW1218.

- Washers for Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb AxlesYou are correct that the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000 lb Axles # AKIHUB-440-2-2K does not come with washers, though we do have exactly what you need, the Washer For 1" Spindle # SW1000. For a nut you can use Trailer Spindle Nut 1" # 165686 and for a cotter pin you can use Cotter Pin # 165649. To grease the bearings I highly recommend using the LubriMatic Wheel Bearing Grease # L11465; additionally, the LubriMatic Deluxe Bearing Packer # L70025 will help make the job much easier.

It sounds like both bearings have the same inner diameter of 1.06 inches. Especially considering the weight of the trailer and the bolt pattern you need. If so, the correct fitting hub would be the part # AKIHUB-440-2-2K which uses bearing that both have inner diameters of 1.06 inches. The bearing numbers are # L44649. For a kit that has the appropriate bearings, races and seals you would want the part # BK1-150....

If that is the case you would need # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-2K.
