E-Z Lube and Easy Grease-Compatible Hub for Simple Lubrication
The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube axle or etrailer Easy Grease to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
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"

Finished one side, gotta get a cotter pin for this side. Kinda wish they came with cotter pins. Good product, I’ve used these hubs before on a different trailer and so far so good. Convenient that it’s greased already and assembled. Makes installation a breeze. Easy 5 minute job. Thanks etrailer!
by: Jim03/08/2020
Next time I’m buying OEM. The bearings aren’t really ps packed with grease, the hub is just stuffed with grease. You can’t get to the back bearings to inspect or grease, so these hubs will only be good for a few years. The kit didn’t come with the easy lube, spindle nut, washers, or locking clip. I had to reuse my old hardware. This is the price difference between this item and the dexter one I should have bought.
This is a good product for the price, but you’ll get what you pay for.

so far, so good. just checked the bearings yesterday

new hubs and bearings worked fine on our boat trailer, excellent service and delivery
by: Don M.04/19/2019
I needed a new hub assembly for my boat trailer, but had no idea which one to get. I called E-trailer's customer support and the agent told me what to measure etc. I called them back with the requested info and they told me which assembly I needed, to include the two different sized bearings. The hub assembly fit perfectly. I was very pleased. It is of great quality and came with bearings, racers, lug nuts, grease seal and hub cover for zerk fittings. I was astonished with the low price for the entire kit. Their customer service is great, shipping is fast, and the products are top notch quality. I will use E-trailer for all my future trailer needs. They stand by their products.
Comments
Still a five star product. I travel from Columbus GA to Ft Walton Beach Fla several times a month 400 mile round trip The hub trails perfectly with no dogleg. The grease seal has not leaked at all and keeps the salt water out. I could not be more happy with this purchase.
Don M - 04/20/2020by: Scott 08/12/2022
Easy to find what I needed and lots of detail to help me determine if it fit my needs. Ordering is a breeze and I received it within a few days and was kept informed throughout the entire process.
by: jeff h09/11/2017
replaced the enter hub assembly, bearings, seal, and even grease zerk. lost everything when wheel came off my boat trailer. almost everything came in the hub kit for a complete rebuild except the zerk and grease, which i did also order from etrailer.com. the replacement went perfectly. all the parts were as good if not better quality than the original on the trailer. glad i did both sides cause if one goes, the other is not far behind. there videos are also very helpful.

after a year, trailer is working great. change grease occassionally to keep bearings with fresh grease.

Product was as described by Katie in customer service. Went together very easily!
I was upgrading my 2000 pound axle to a 3500 pound axle so we could haul a full cord of wood safely in my 6*10 trailer! I bought new everything and had it installed in about 3 hours.

Easy fix. Good stuff. Might order a spare in case of an unexpected roadside repair
by: Robert 04/30/2021
Fits perfectly. Well built. Buying the complete hub with bearings and grease seal saved me a lot of work vs replacing parts in the old hub. Just add a bearing buddy and you're good to go.
by: J Makanda, IL06/01/2021
Great product, easy to install, arrived in 1 day! I have a couple trailers, will buy from this company again for sure!
by: Alan06/30/2018
Etrailers .com's customer service is the best I have ever seen. They go the extra mile to satisfy their customers and I will continue to use them for all of my trailer needs. The hubs arrived promptly as described and easy to install after reviewing the "How To" documentation that they linked to my receipt.

Comments
everything I have got from you guys have been very good and will always check etrailer first thanks
le. s - 12/18/2017by: ColbyM12/31/2020
Fit up was perfect everything was pre greased as listed in the details. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because the ez lube caps that come with the kit would not fit in the hub. Also one box had been opened and didn’t have the ez lube cap. I reused the oem caps and everything is perfect. Will definitely buy again in the future!
by: Larry05/18/2021
Great company to order your trailer parts. Any questions contact them and they'll help!
by: Harrell12/18/2021
Great item for price fit was great also and fast shipping thanks
by: Jessica03/23/2021
Customer service was very helpful when our package shipment was delayed, however it arrived in a box which was barely holding the contents. I recommend spending a little more time making sure your heavy products packaged in an appropriate box
by: Kenneth07/12/2018
I didn’t see anywhere in the ad where it said these spindles and bearings were made in China. Had I known I would have not ordered them.
by: Paul K.05/04/2017
etrailer will be the only company I buy any product from. Their parts fit and function great. The team members are professional and give exceptional service. I will be buying another set soon on another trailer. Thanks again E Trailer!!

- Correct Hubs for Boat Trailer with L68149 and L44649 BearingsThe correct trailer idler hub for your boat trailer is the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-545-35-K or part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K if you have zerk fittings on the spindle. These are both pre-greased so there is no mess to be had.
view full answer... - Replacement Idle Hub For Spindle with Bearing Diameters of 1.06 and 1.375 inchThanks for the dimensions of your spindle. With that info I was able to determine that you have the number 84 spindle. For a very cost effective hub replacement that will fit we have the part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K which comes with everything needed to assembly on your spindle as a benefit it also is pre greased this will save you a little time and energy.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out New Hub for Trailer With Bearing Numbers that Aren't MarkedIn order to pick out the correct hub assembly or bearings 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 (not important if you only need bearings). 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...

- Is Weight Capacity Listed On Trailer Hubs The Capacity Of The Trailer Or AxlesThe hub ratings are for the axle capacity, and not the trailer weight capacity. For example, The trailer hubs you came from, part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K is designed for 3,500 lb axles. This hub includes the bearings races, seals, grease cap, and lug nuts. The individual hub capacity is 1,750 lbs.
view full answer... - Easiest to Install Trailer Idler Hub for 3,500 Lb AxleThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K is the most convenient option we offer for a 3,500 lb axle as it is already pre-greased and the bearing and grease seal are already set into place for you. Therefore, all you need to do is first remove the old hub, slide the new one on, tighten down the castle nut and you are good to go.
view full answer... - Upgraded Hubs with Higher Weight Capacity for #84 SpindleThe #84 spindle is rated at 1,750 lbs so for an idler hub I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K which is also rated for 1,750 lbs. There won't be an option for a higher rated hub. In regards to installation, make sure you are not tightening the castle nut too much as this can cause the bearings to burn up as well as improper lubrication.
view full answer... - Replacement for Hub to Fit with Shorelander SS734 Bearing KitAccording to information we have looked at in the past, the Shorelander SS734 fits the same dimensions as the standard #84 spindle. With this being the case I recommend using the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K for your application. This comes pre-greased so you won't have to pack it (although it's always best to double check that the grease is in there properly) and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. It also includes 2 different grease caps for whether you have the...
view full answer... - Will Replacement Hubs With Smaller Grease Seal Fit 2010 Carson Utility TrailerYou are correct, the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K will work as a replacement for your trailer. Since the inner diameter of the grease seal on these hubs is slightly smaller you won't have any problems. The grease seal will still fit since there is some flexibility. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

- Pre-Greased Trailer Hub for 3,500 lb Axle with 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt PatternThe Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K is for 3,500 lb trailer axles like you are looking for and would work great.

view full answer... - Replacement Idle Hub for Pace 5x8 Enclosed Cargo TrailerIt looks like your Pace 5x8 trailer has a Dexter Axle 3,500 lb axle. If you can confirm this then that means you'll need part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K for a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern or part # AKIHUB-5475-35-EZ-K for a 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern. I do recommend double checking what your bolt pattern is because while 5 on 4-3/4" isn't unheard of, the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern is much more common. I'm attaching some helpful articles on bolt patterns that you can reference to double check.
view full answer... - 3,500 lb Hub Replacement Recommendation for 2001 EZ Loader Boat TrailerMost likely you are in need of a 3,500 lb hub and drum with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. If instead you need just the hub without the drum (idler hub) you would want the part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K which is also designed to fit the standard 3,500 trailer axle spindle.

Thank you for providing that info as that makes my job very easy! The most popular option will be hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If you have a brake hub and drum you would want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K or if you have an idler hub you would need the part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K. If the bolt pattern of your trailer's wheels happens to be different follow the...

AxleIf your axle uses the #84 spindle which is very common the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K will work for a non braking axle and the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K for a braking axle.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs for 5x8 Utility Trailer and 12 Inch WheelsIf you have drum assemblies then I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K for your replacement hubs. If you have idler hubs, then I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub for Big Tex 3500 AxleSince you mentioned that the axle is a 3,500 lb capacity axle the part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K would fit and work great if you needed an idler hub without brakes or for a kit with brakes the # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K would be what you'd need.
view full answer... - Can Just Outer Bearing Determine Both Trailer Bearings NeededOn small axles, it can be the same BUT it is not common for axles to have matching inner and outer bearings if over 2000 lbs capacity. For instance the # AKIHUB-545-2-1K have matching bearing sizes for both inner and outer, but the # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K do not.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub for 2002 Coleman Niagara Pop Up CamperIt does look like the 2002 Coleman Niagara uses the standard 3,500 lb axle bearings like the ones in the # BK2-100. I recommend verifying this information first by either identifying the axle and the parts it uses using the axle tags or finding the part numbers on/measuring your existing bearings. If that is correct, you need a 3,500 lb hub which uses these bearings and matches your current bolt pattern. More than likely you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern right now. Assuming that is the...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hubs Using L68149 and L44649 BearingsIt sounds like you have inner and outer bearings # L68149 and # L44649 respectively. That's a very popular combination on a # 84 spindle but the seals are normally 1.719 inches inner diameter. I would verify that number. If this is correct there's a still a number of options that could be your correct hubs depending on whether you have drums, what bolt pattern they are, and whether you have EZ Lube spindles or not. I'll list all the optoins for you. 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern: Standard...

If you need just the idler hub, we have the Pre-Greased Trailer Idler Hub Assembly - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K for EZ-Lube axles, or # AKIHUB-545-35-K for standard axles.

view full answer... - Can a Trailer Axle be Converted to an EZ Lube Axle by Replacing SpindlesTo upgrade to an EZ lube setup will require you to replace your axle or you could just replace the spindle. For a spindle with a 4 bolt mounting plate you would want the part # TRU74FR as it is an ez lube spindle. For a new hub/drum to fit this you would want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K or for a idler hub part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K. Welding a spindle is not something we recommend most people doing. Most axles have these welded on at the factory with specialized jigs and higher precision...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Hub Needed to Match with L44649 and L68149 BearingsSounds like you have a #84 spindle that uses the Bearing Kit # BK2-100. For an idler hub I recommend part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K but for a hub and drum assembly I recommend part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. Both of which come with the bearing kit mentioned above and have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern like what you mentioned.
