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"

Excellent product and customer service. After 1 year of use, running flawlessly. Customer service was very helpful in figuring out the correct replacement parts for my setup.

I wish I had taken before and after photos of my trailer. A typical 5x8 utility trailer with the extruded wire mesh deck which I got for a bargain, perfect for my lawn tractor or 4 wheeler. However the 8" wheels did not provide enough ground clearance for the terrain where I intended to use it as a equipment hull trailer to our deer camp, pulled by the 4 wheeler. After finding etrailer.com my problems were solved! I ordered 5 bolt hubs, 5.30 x12" wheels and the economy plastic fenders and fender brackets. While waiting my order I wire wheeled the frame and gave it a fresh coat of paint and WHAL-LA! I have a new looking trailer! The order arrived in record time, securely packaged and great quality! I ordered the pre-packed hubs and didn't have to get into that sticky mess! Everything worked out as planned and was easy-peezy to assemble and install. I'll definitely use etrailer.com in the future.

I looked all over, to include Harbor Frieght where I bought the trailer, and could not find replacement bearings. Etrailer.com had exactly the parts I needed. They fit as advertised and arrived in just 3 days. I will definitely use etrailer.com again and you should too!

Great product. Super easy to install. I recently towed my motorcycle cross country and had no issues at all.

I purchased this hub for an axle that i had which I was using for a homade trailer that I had built for my riding lawn mower. The hub was an exact fit and I have had no problems with it. Great product...

A year later and the product is still working great. Ive had absolutely no problems nor do I have any complaints.
by: Thomas 12/13/2019
This is a convenient way to replace, repair or upgrade. The hubs and bearings appear to be good quality. And having everything preassembled and greased makes the swap clean and easy.

I pull a sailboat many miles and hours each year participating in regattas. I always carry an extra complete hub. I always depend on etrailer to provide me with all replacement parts for he trailer. I have never been dissatisfied with their products. Their service and support is excellent. Thanks, Mickey

Very good price, works great on my harbor freight folding trailer I modified last year, it upgrades with my 1720axle and 5lug 530c load tires from the 1195axle with 4lug 480b load tires giving me more weight capacity now to strengthen the trailer tongue . Thank you very much

The hub assembly i ordered i specifically requested to fit a 1 1/4 axle,the one I received is for a 1 inch axle and doesn't do much good for my trailer

Bought 3 of these. Quick arrival time and perfect fit. William B. was very knowledgeable and helpful in the ordering process. Many thanks to him. Will keep you in mind for future trailer needs.

I finally got to insall the hub kit. I love how it assembled so easy, it fit like a glove. The kits were exactly what they were stated to be. As usual etrailer comes through with high quality products at an affordable price. Also love the resource information on the website!

As always excellent service and excellent products. Trailer hubs and bearings are top quality. Highly recommend etrailer.

These hubs were the perfect fit for my old boat trailer. It was very convenient that they came all assembled and greased, it took not even 10 minutes to have them on and the wheels back on!

Ordered two tires, two Aluminum fenders, and Hubs. etrailer.com is one of the easiest websites to place orders on I have ever used. Extremely well laid out. Fast shipping and product is packaged professionally. Great products, great prices, products are high quality.
Rarely order from any other trailer parts companies. etrailer has just about everything trailer related and no junk! Can't beat this company.

It was very easy to swap out the "old parts for the new". When I did have a question, etrailer.com was there for me..... I highly recommend that anyone in need of trailer repair parts contact etrailer.com!
by: Jrip06/04/2018
The bearing blew out on my kayak trailer. Where to get a replacement? Auto parts couldn't get it. E-trailer had everything in stock including the hub at a very reasonable price. Jennifer was very reassuring that it was the right fit.
Thanks for the expert advice and fast service.
by: Brian L05/17/2017
Fits perfect!!!!! I should have done this first instead of buying bearings and unable to remove the old bad race. While trying to remove the old race I cracked the hub and destroyed it. Then to make matters worse went to the local farm store and got what seemed like the right thing...but it was wrong too. Would have saved myself a lot of aggravation had I did my research on etrailer.com and got the right thing first. The Q&A section got me right what I needed. 10 min on the site I had ordered exectly what I needed. It arrived in two days. Almost faster than the farm store. I have spent more than two days returning parts. I will go with etrailer.com from now on.
by: Randall 07/08/2021
Received, then installed within an hour. No problems at all during assembly. Grease caps fit nice and tight. Came with an extra set of caps for ez-lube axles, I think. I appreciated the pre-greased condition, just install them and go.

etrailer always has what I need when it comes to repairing my trailers, & at great prices. they also stay in contact when processing your order. Thanks.

- Trailer Hub that Can Fit on 2,000 lb Axle with 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt PatternAre you sure the diameter of the spindle is 1.25 inches where both bearings ride? That's not typical for a 2,000 lb axle but if instead the diameter is 1.06 inch then you could use the hub part # AKIHUB-545-2-2K which has the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you need as well. If instead the spindle measures .99 instead you'd want the part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K.

- Trailer Idler Hub for 2,000 Pound Axle and 13 Inch TiresThere isn't enough surface area on hub # AKIHUB-545-2-1K to safely mount and use a 13 inch wheel. The hub would have to be larger to properly support a 13 inch wheel. For a hub that uses the same bearings, can take a 13 inch wheel, and also has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we have # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K for EZ Lube axles or # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-1K for regular axles.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs that Can Fit 2,000 lb Axle with 5 Lug Bolt PatternThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K that you referenced is designed to fit the industry standard 2,000 lb capacity trailer axles with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like you have so most likely this will fit but you still should probably check. Take the hub off of your current axle and measure the diameter of the spindle where the bearings ride. If this dimension is 1 inch then this is the correct fit. If for some reason you get a different dimension let me know and I'll...
view full answer... - Finding Correct Trailer Wheels to Match Hubs for a BT8 SpindleYou're correct that all of the 8 inch rims we carry have a pilot hole that's in the range of 2.8 inches. Not nearly as large as the 3.275 inches you need. The best solution I recommend is replacing the hubs, unfortunately. I recommend part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K for standard spindles or part # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-1K for EZ Lube spindles. I don't recommend boring out the pilot hole of the rim or grinding down the hub. It will very likely compromise the integrity of either part.
view full answer... - Replacement Idler Hubs for 4 x 7 Tarter Utility TrailerA 2000 lb axle uses a straight spindle, with both the inner and outer bearing being the same size. The hubs needed will depend on the number of lugs your current hubs have and which inner/outer wheel bearings are used. I'll give you a run-down on the possibilities below. If you have a 4 lug wheels, and a L44643 inner and outer bearing, you'd use # AKIHUB-440-2-1K for 5 lug wheels, use # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. Both fit wheels from 8 to 12 inches. If you have the L44649 inner and outer bearing,...

- Solution for Needing Hub for Trailer with Spindles that are 1.25 Inch for Bearing SurfaceI really wish we had a hub that fit your setup, but based on your spindle dimensions we do not have anything that's going to fit as a replacement. Best option is most likely going to be to swap to a new axle so that you can fit a standard wheel/hub on it. You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one. You will need to measure from hub face to hub face and then from the spring seat centers. You will also need to know what bolt pattern you have...

- Trailer Hub for Old Boat Trailer with 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern and a 1 Inch Straight SpindleThe 2 hubs in question use different bearings and seals. If the spindle is exactly 1 inch in diameter and the diameter where the seal rides is 1.249 inches then use # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. If the spindle diameter is slightly over 1 inch and the diameter where the seal rides is 1.5 inches then use # AKIHUB-545-2-2K. If you still have the old bearings you can check for any numbers stamped into the sides of them and that will determine which hub fits.

- Will The AKIHUB-545-2-1K Hub Fit My SnowBear 5x8 Utility Trailer?As SnowBear trailers are still being produced, and haven't been around long enough for any of the weird/rare spindle options, you will not need to measure anything else to confirm the fitment of the etrailer.com Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. As you already verified the bolt spacing and the inner and outer bearing numbers, you are perfectly good to go.

The measurements have to be as accurate as possible so I recommend using digital calipers # PTW80157. I included a picture that shows where to measure. If the spindle diameter is 1 inch the whole length where the bearings ride then hub # AKIHUB-545-35-K will not fit. It takes 2 different bearing...

This is an 8 inch wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. the tires that fit this size are found on 2,000 to 2,200 pound trailer axles. I have included a link to the hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern for 2,000 to 2,200 pound axles. Idler hub # AKIHUB-545-2-1K is one of the options. It uses L44643 inner and outer bearings.

The other hub, # AKIHUB-545-2-2K, comes with seal 10-9 which has an inner diameter of 1.5 inches and outer diameter of 1.987 inches.

Both will work with a spindle that uses a # L44643 inner and outer bearing. You will just want to confirm what lug pattern you currently have before purchasing so you do not have to change your wheels. I have listed them below along with an installation video.

The reason is that this spindle requires hubs with inner and outer bearings L44643, which are 1.000" diameter, and those all have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern; here are the hubs that fit: - Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 2K Axles # AKHD-545-2-1K - Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 8" to 12" Wheels # AKIHUB-545-2-1K - Trailer...

You may want to consider replacing the hub that will have the races already pressed into place. I recommend the # AKIHUB-440-2-1K for the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern or # AKIHUB-545-2-1K for the 4 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. This will ensure the races, bearings, and...
