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"

Video Transcript for Trailer Idler Hub Assembly Review
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the etrailer idler hub assemblies for 2,000 pound axles. Now to determine what size bearing you're going to need, we're going to remove the tire here. We're going to take you through the whole installation process, so you know how to get the old stuff off, and how to get your new stuff on.First thing we need to do is get our tire out of the way here. Now we can take the cap off of the end. Now, your cap can look a little bit different. This is not an easy lube axle, so it has a solid cap on it.
An easy lube will have a black plug there on the end so you can get to that greaser. Regardless of what type it is, we're going to use a soft hammer here, just tap it around, eventually it's going to come off.Now depending on your application, the next thing we'll need to do is remove, in this application we've got a cotter pin, or you might have a keeper that just slides over the nut. In either case, let's get that removed. So if you have a cotter pin, you just straighten it out, and then pull on your rounded side there. At that point, you can take off the nut.
Now traditionally, there's going to be a flat washer. You can see this one doesn't have it, but traditionally there'd be a flat washer that sits behind there. If you have that, you want to hang on to that and your nut. Just going to pull it on off there. That's going to take out our inner seal, our inner bearing, and our outer bearing along with the hub all at the same time.Now we'll just clean that spindle up really well, get off all the old grease, then we can start to inspect it.
Now this is what your spindle should look like once you get it cleaned up. What you're looking for is a nice smooth surface. Our outer bearing is going to ride here. Our inner bearing is going to ride here. You want to make sure there's no rust, you want to make sure there's no pitting or any areas of concern that might cause damage to those bearings.And then the larger area here is going to be your grease seal.
We also want to make sure that that's really nice and clean. We want to make sure that we don't have any pitting, that we don't have any gaps because anything like that will just allow your grease to escape out of the back. Now if you have had bearing failure on your axle, you're typically going to see some cracking here on the spindle, or you're going to see discoloration where it's turned to a purple or kind of a green. It almost looks like it's been hardened. If that's the case, you need an axle replacement. There's no sense in putting good parts on a bad axle. It's just going to wear out very rapidly. So if it looks like this, you're good to move ahead. If it doesn't look like this, you're going to need an axle replacement.Now when determining which of the two bearing kits that you're going to need, it's either going to be the kit that ends in 1K or the kit that ends in 2K. We need to determine the diameter of our spindle. Now this is either going to be one inch or one inch and 1/16. So it's very hard to determine with just a tape measure. We can't really measure the end here because those threads are smaller. That's going to be about an inch if this is an inch and 16ths. So your best bet, again, that dial caliper will bring it down, set it right on that bearing surface, 1.06. That indicates that we need the 649. If that was one flat, 1.00, we'd need the 643 bearing kit.Next issue's going to be whether it's an easy lube or a standard. This is a standard. You can see the end of the spindle's flush with the no grease inaudible 00:04:05 sticking out of it. And if you do have a grease inaudible 00:04:07 sticking out, you want to go with the easy lube style.Now there are a couple other choices that you'll have with these hubs designed for the 2,000 pound axles. One of those things are going to be the bolt pattern. Basically, you're either going to have four lugs or you're going to have five. With the four lug pattern, they're going to call this a four on four. And you can verify that. Basically you just want to measure it from the center of one stud to the center of the opposite stud. You can see that's giving us right at four inches. Once we get into the five bolt pattern, you can see this is going to be called a five on 4 1/2. So you're going to have five wheel studs that stick out. And we'll measure from the outside of one to the center of the opposing one.It's a little bit different than measuring one that's symmetrical, but you'll see that's going to give us the 4 1/2. So that'll help you to confirm that you've got the five on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now in these hubs with the five on 4 1/2, they come in two sizes. One's going to be about 5 1/4 inches in diameter. The other one's going to be 6 1/4 inches in diameter. So you want to measure from this outside edge to this outside edge to make sure you're getting the right one. Now the smaller one here that's 5 1/4, this is going to work for eight inch all the way up to your 15 inch tires.This one's what they call the large flange. This one's designed more for the 13 to 15 inch tires. And the last thing you're going to decide is what finish you want. The black ones that we have here, these are just going to be a standard paint finish. So what you're typically going to see on your utility trailers, things of that nature. The galvanized hub, which is the one that's silver here, has a galvanized coating on it. It's designed to really resist corrosion much better than just plain steel. These you're going to see a lot of times in a marine application, so your jet ski, wave runner, Jon boat kind of applications.Now in each kit, you're going to have everything that you need with the exception of the washer and the nut, and of course the keeper that comes with the nut. That's all supplied with the axle. In the hub kit, you're going to have the appropriate bearings. We've showed you how to measure that. Both bearings are going to be the same in your kit. The inner and outer, there's not really a difference between. The biggest difference is this inside diameter liked we talked how to measure the spindle.You're going to have your seal. These are all going to be the same, and this is going to fit in the backside of the hub. We'll show you how to install that. And you're going to have new lug nuts that are designed to fit the new studs. Now if you have a four on four, of course you're going to get four lug nuts. If you have the five on 4 1/2, it will come with five. And then you're going to have one of the two caps here. So we said if you have an easy lube style, that's what your cap's going to look like. It's going to allow you to remove that cap and get to the grease circuit inside, where this is going to be for the standard spindle, kind of like what we have here. This is just going to go on and cover it.Now for the grease that's going to go in your hub, you need to choose one that's going to be right for your application. For a marine style application, you want to use a marine grease. This is going to have all the lubricants we need to make sure our bearings stay in good shape. It also is going to have corrosion inhibitors. That way we're not going to have to worry about excess corrosion. For utility trailers, like the one we're working on here today, a good standard red grease or a high speed high load grease is what you're looking for. This is the ultra lube. It's available on our website, but any high temp high load grease is going to work out well for you.Now we're going to be packing all of the bearings at once. We're going to have grease all over our hands. You can use a bearing factor if you've already got one or if you want to purchase one, it could be a little bit cleaner through this process. We've got several available on our website, but the general principle of what we're going to do here. Gonna take a good amount of grease, want to get it formed into your hand pretty well, and we're going to be shoving that in between the inner portion of the bearing. You can see this little bit of a wide gap right here. We're going to shove it through there until it comes out of the top. So just use that to capture a little bit, push it in, just continue with that until it comes out of the top.We look right there on that top edge, you can see where some of it started to come up through. We want to do that all the way around on all four of our bearings. Now we're ready to get our inner bearing and seal installed. So we're going to do that from the back side of the hub. This would be the face of it. We're going to take one of our pre-greased bearings, going to drop it down in. Now there's a taper to it. We want that taper, the narrower part to be in. Going to drop it in, get it seated properly. At this point, we're going to get our seal installed. So we're going to place that on the back side of the hub, place that down and on. Use our hammer to tap it into place.The idea here is you want the seal to sit flush with the back of the hub, just like that. You see it's nice and flush all the way around. Now if you decide you don't want to purchase the seal driver tool, a lot of times you'll see a guy use a block of wood similar to this. Place that down on, and then drive it like that. Now we're going to load the hub full of grease. We want plenty in there, just don't want there to be any space between the spindle and the hub so you don't have to worry about any moisture or corrosion, things like that. inaudible 00:09:54 kind of what we're left with. You can see we've got it. Now we'll slide our hub right onto the spindle. You want to make sure it seats all the way in, and our seal goes up on that wire area.Time for us to place our outer bearing in. Now I'm going to take my washer and place it back on. You remember when we disassembled, we didn't have one of these. We want to be sure that we do. That part number is SW1000. Got that in place. Now we can thread on our nut. And if you had any damage to yours, you can replace that. Tighten that down, it's almost going to lock your hub. Back that off just a touch. Want that to be nice and free spinning, but we don't want any end play, which means we don't want to be able to move this in or out. End play would look like that.Now we'll place our cotter pin through the end of the hub there. And then we can fold each side of that pin over. Now we replaced our cotter pins. Ours we're getting pretty old, and again, those are available on our website. Part number is 165649. No end play, everything's working nice and smooth. Now we'll place our cap on there squarely. We'll just start tapping around the edge to get it in place. Put tire back on, and we'll secure that with our new lug nuts. Now we just want to head over to our other side. Going to do the same thing there, and when we get the trailer down on the ground, be sure to torque your lug nuts down to the appropriate specification. And that'll complete our look at the etrailer idler hub assemblies for 2,000 pound axles.

These are high quality cast hubs. Theses are exact replacements with the exception of the grease seal. I ordered those separate to fit my axles. I needed the 1.06 bearings but a 1.375 seal. These come with the 1.5 seal 562273

My only problem with the order was the inner seals were too big for the axle lands. The service was prompt and the rest of the parts were perfect. I replaced the inner seals with the correct ones locally, and I've had no problems with the hubs or bearings. 382720

Excellent service , I needed a new hub for my small trailer and the only information I had was the race no.. Miss Molly was the individual who was helping me and she was able to get the correct axel size and had it in two days. Everything fit fine. I recommend them highly. 558847

I’m having an issue with the seal on the inside portion of the hub / spindle that I just purchased. The exterior dimension of the seal is the same size as the old one but my the opening that goes over the spindle to form the seal is too large on the new one. Can you please advise? I have a trip this weekend with the trailer. The old seal is shot and not reusable. Thanks 575435
Comments
If the 10-9 grease seal that came with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part AKIHUB-440-2-2K did not fit then odds are you need the Double Lip Grease Seal part 34823 which measures 1.249 inner diameter ID and 1.983 outer diameter OD. However, in order to confirm this you need to measure the outer diameter of the spindle where the grease seal seats with a digital caliper like part # 301-17068 to the nearest thousandth of an inch.

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

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

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

A year ago I rebuilt an old jet-ski trailer, converting it to a kayak trailer. I tore it completely down, and rebuilt it with parts purchased from etrailer.com. I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and my friends continue to comment on how nice the trailer is. Ordering the parts from etrailer.com was easy, very reasonably priced, and they arrived quickly and in perfect working order. I will definitely use etrailer.com again in the future. 596201

As always, next day it was delivered. Everything was there and fit where it was suppose to. Way more meat on it than old hub. The only issue was when I was tightening the nut. After tightening it finger tight I put the wrench to it to seat bearings, backed it off, then turned it finger tight again. I had to use a smaller cotter pin because the nut covered about 1/4 of the hole. More than likely it was my Chinese trailer faults not the hubs. HaHa 285298

Ask the Experts about this etrailer Trailer Hubs and Drums
Do you have a question about this Trailer Hubs and Drum?
- What Does BTR and BT8 Mean when Picking Out Replacement Trailer Hub
- BTR and BT8 are the reference numbers for a standard trailer spindle size. When picking out a hub for a trailer you have to make sure that the hub is designed to fit the spindle. What you will need to do is measure spindles on your trailer where the bearings ride and with the info we will be able to tell what hubs will fit.
If the spindles are .99 inch and .99 inch where the bearings ride you have a BT8 spindle and would need # AKIHUB-440-2-1K.
If the spindles are 1.06 and 1.06 inch...
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs with L44649 Bearings and Replacement Hubs with L44643 Bearings
- If the spindle is 1 inch in diameter exactly at both bearing locations then they are L44643 bearings. If it is slightly over 1 inch then they are L44649 bearings. You can also measure the inner diameter of the bearing and that will help. And if you can email me a picture I might be able to make it out. I have seen a lot of bearings over the years!
If you do end up having L44649 bearings AND the spindles have grease fittings on the ends then you can use hub # 8-91-05UC1-EZ. If they are...
view full answer... - Recommended Hub Assembly for 1 Inch Axle Spindle
- We have the complete assemblies available with the races installed, but you still will need to install the bearings and seal to attach to your spindle.
I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 # AKIHUB-440-2-2K or the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern # AKIHUB-545-2-2K. 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.
view full answer... - What Is the Difference Between a BTR and BT8 Spindle
- The 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 but if you have BT8 spindles then you will...

- For a spindle that has exactly a one inch diameter the hub part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K is a confirmed fit.
view full answer... - Hub with 4 Lug Bolt Pattern that Uses Bearing Numbers L44649
- The two bearings you mentioned have different inner diameters. The # L44643 has an inner diameter that is exactly 1 inch and the # L44649 is 1.06 inch. This may not seem like a lot but it's a big enough difference to prevent the hub you have now from fitting your spindle (you may already know this). The seals are slightly different diameters too.
Since you wouldn't be able to swap out the bearings of your current hub to the correct size you need (the hub won't match), the only solution...
view full answer... - Determining BT8 or BTR Spindle on Trailer
- The 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-440-2-1K 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.

- I am not sure what you mean by "short hub" but I went out to the warehouse and found that the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-2K you referenced has a total depth of 4-1/4" as you can see in the attached picture.

- We do carry the hubs and bearings that fit spindle # LC142161. The bearing kit is part # BK1-150 which uses # L44649 for both the inner and outer bearings.
The hubs that fit come in either a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, like idler hub # AKIHUB-440-2-2K, or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, like part # AKIHUB-545-2-2K. We also have the same hubs galvanized; part # AKIHUB-440-2-G-2K for the 4 on 4 and part # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K for the 5 on 4-1/2.
There's also a hub and drum that fits if you need brakes...

- You 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.
view full answer... - 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. There should be numbers stamped right inside the bearings themselves, which can be used to find the right replacement hub. If you cannot read the numbers, you can also take a few different measurements along the spindle where the bearings sit. You will...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hubs for 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern and 12 Inch Wheels on 48 x 40.5 Utility Trailer
- There are a few different options. The determining factor is the spindle of your axle. If you have 1 inch spindles then the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 # AKIHUB-440-2-1K are the best fit. If you have 1.063 inch spindles, then the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 # AKIHUB-440-2-2K are the better fit. If you aren't sure which hubs you need, you can pull your current hub and look for the bearing number printed on the face of the bearing....
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hub Components for Trailstar Trailer with Idler Hubs
- Hubs that use # L44649 inner and outer bearings are idler type hubs like # AKIHUB-440-2-2K. The correct matching race is indeed part # L44610. We offer these as individual parts but we also offer a complete bearing kit # BK1-150 that includes bearings, races, grease seal with o-ring, tang spindle washer and cotter pin. For a D washer use part # 5-23 and for a castle nut use part # 165931.
view full answer... - Trailer Hub Recommendation for Hub on Trailer with 1-1/16" Spindle Diameter
- I have a solution for you. You would actually want the part # AKIHUB-440-2-2K as it has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern like you need and the bearings that come with the hub are designed to fit a hub with 1-1/16 inner diameter bearings.
view full answer... - Trailer Hubs for Old Boat Trailer with 1 Inch Diameter Spindles
- To find the correct replacement hubs I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings. If the spindle is straight, meaning both bearings have the same inner diameter, then it probably takes a hub with L44643 bearings or L44649 bearings (the L44649 bearings are slightly larger with a 1.063 inch inner diameter).
If they are L44643 bearings then you can use idler hub # AKIHUB-440-2-1K. If they are L44649 bearings then you can use idler hub...

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...
view full answer... - Bearings, Races and Seals Recommendation for 1989 Trailer with Bearing Inner Diameter of 1.06 inch
- The bearing diameter you mentioned matches what would fit a BTR spindle. 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....

The hub has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. The hub assembly kit you came from will not work with the spindle size you said you have on your trailer.
We also have tire/wheel combos that will work with this hub assembly. The combo I recommend is part # AM31208HWT. This is a 12-inch radial tire/wheel combo with an aluminum...

- I have attached a link to our selection of 8 inch trailer hub assemblies that use the common 4 on 4 inch bolt patterns for you to filter through. To choose the correct one you will simply need to remove the current hub on your trailer and check the numbers on your inner and outer bearings. If you cannot find the numbers on your bearings then you can use a Digital Caliper # 301-17068 to measure the B, C, and D sections of your spindle as indicated in the attached photo.

view full answer... - Idler Hubs to Replace Brake Drums on a Viking Pop-Up Camper with Dexter 8-173 Hubs
- Your Viking Pop-up actually has a torsion axle, most likely a #9 based on the hub group of your trailer. You can replace those brake hubs with idler hubs, no problem! You can use idler hub # AKIHUB-440-2-2K. That is unless there are grease fittings at the ends of the axle. If that is the case you would need # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K.
Both of the hubs above use bearing L44649 as the inner and outer bearing which is correct according to the specs on the 8-173 hubs from Dexter. Still I do recommend...
view full answer... - Boat Trailer with L44649 Bearings and 1.24 Inch I.D. Grease Seals
- The spindles you have on your boat trailer are not standard which means we do not have a trailer hub with the correct bearings and seals you need. The best option for you would be to just replace the bearings with part # L44649 and seals with part # 34823 as I am sure it would be difficult to find such an odd hub.
However, if you absolutely want to replace the integrated wheel/hub with an idler hub then you would need to replace the spindle with something like part # R104BTREZ which...

- There 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.
