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.


Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Side

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"

Have had no problems each trip is about 200miles and I have made numerous trips



by:

I put the new hub assembly on for my Lil' Hobo retro camper trailer. The hub assembly doesn't come with a washer and nut for the spindle, so you need to save your old ones or buy these separate if you don't have them. I put it on with new tires and wheels, upgrading from a four bolt to five bolt pattern.



by:

Finally got them in today (Postal Service delayed them in Memphis) and they are just as I ordered. Changed them out with the old hubs with no problem except the dust cover was just barely too big for my axle. No problem I just used by old dust covers.



by:

The complete transaction was great. Easy online ordering, great prices and very fast delivery.



by:

was an interesting job. had to buy a bearing puller to get of the old race then this went on and has been fine now for a year now. I bought both sides but only did the wobbly wheel as I don't like to fix what isn't broken yet.



by:

Perfect fit no problem since then

Parts came earlier than expected and was a super easy 15 minute installation.

Prefect fit!

Put these on my boat trailer last year. Very solid and smooth.

Converted my trailer to 5x4.5 so I could use standard rims. Everything worked great. I ordered 2 drums and 2 hubs. Everything included.



by:

Just a quick note to say thank you to eTrailer for not only the quality of parts received but also to Melissa for the dedicated service and attention that was given to me when placing my order.

THANK YOU MELISSA for all of your help!
Looking forward to my next purchase!

Fast delivery
...the hub and bearing
set should include cotter pin had to replace them and for an additional couple of cent it far to Loews.
Thanks anyway



by:

Ordering was easy. I had some questions so I called. Tammie was very helpful and took my order. Hubs arrived in 2 days. Installed easily and works perfectly. etrailer is a great company to do business with.



by:

My trailer originally had 5/ 4.75 hubs but decided to change to 5/4.5 hubs since my other trailer has the 5/4.5 hubs. Very happy with my purchase.



by:

Not much to see, but here are pics of the installed new hub and Bearing Buddy.



by:

Hubs were as described. Slipped them right on, adjusted and no problems.



by:

Etrailer tech (George J) was great helping me pick this out for my trailer



by:

Product works great and was easy to install. I don't think it came with the castle nut pin, which might be problematic for some people who don't have hardware collections at their work space. It might help those who are unfamiliar with hub installation to get an install guide with the product. I could see someone over tightening the castle nut and ruining their new bearings.

Great! I checked them after about 250 miles of use and they were still tight and in great shape. They were exactly as described and perfect for my application.

They look good, will be installing and finishing a total light job, complete switch to electric brakes, safety trigger, battery by the end of next week. Thank-you etrailer!

The hub/bearing assemblies I received for my utility trailer are still working great! Very good price as well.



by:

Replaced hubs on 40 year old boat trailer. Cleaned up spindles with 350 grit sandpaper, packed bearings, filled remainder of wheel cavity with grease, assembled with new seal and old washer and hub nut. Good as new. I would have given them 5 stars if new washer and hub nut were included. I did learn that a dust cap driver can easily be made by cutting off a short piece of 2 inch sch. 40 pvc pipe. New lug nuts and dust cap were included.



by:

Good price, right fit for my trailer per my research on your website. Short wait time on delivery. If product lasts, very pleased with overall experience with your company. Thank you.



by:

Just a quick note, your sales rep Pat was a great help in getting me the correct hubs for my trailer. Both of the trailer tires were so rusted the studs were just spinning in the hubs so we had to pull the hubs and tire at the same time. I gave pat the bearing number I could find on one of them and Pat was able to get me the correct hubs and bearing. They came a day early then expected which is a plus. Both hubs we installed were a perfect fit with all the right parts, we even ordered two new tires just because your team is so helpful in getting our boat back on the road. Thanks Pat.

The right parts at the right price !

  • Recommended Replacement Hubs for a 2005 Floe Versa Max 14' Tandem Axle Trailer
    Hey Casey, it looks like your 2005 Floe Versa Max 14’ trailer uses tandem 3,500 lb torsion axles so the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K is not going to work. Instead you'd need to use hubs for 3.5k axles like # AKIHUB-5475-35-K. These hubs will work with a 5 on 3/4 bolt pattern, so if you had a different bolt pattern, you could use: - # AKIHUB-550-35-K for a 5 on 5, - # AKIHUB-545-35-K for a 5 on 4 1/2, - # AKIHUB-555-35-K for a 5 on 5 1/2, or -...

  • Will an 8 Inch Trailer Wheel Fit etrailer 3.5K Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-K
    Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-K was designed to work with 13" to 17-1/2" wheels so it is not a good option for 8 inch trailer wheel # AM20028. We have a lot of hubs that fit 8 inch wheels and have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern but they use different bearings than # AKIHUB-545-35-K. If you can tell me the inner and outer bearing numbers of the hub you are replacing then I can figure out which hubs and compatible wheels will work for you.

    While we cannot confirm for sure what the "L" means on the 11033L, the "L" does not make a differences when coming to fitment of the hub. With that being said, the Tie Down Engineering 11033 hub has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and is designed for 3500-lb axles. Replacement hubs that have these specs typically use a # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, as well as inner race # L68111, outer race # L44610 and grease seals with inner diameter of 1.719" and outer diameter of 2.565".

  • Distance From End of TruRyde #84 Spindle Stub to the Back of an Installed Hub
    When installing a hub like the # AKIHUB-545-35-K on the # TRU84FR the hub is going to stop where the grease seal sits. If you look at the attached picture below, you will see the measurement marked F which is 6-1/2". This would be the stub length, which is the same as the distance from the end to the back of the hub. If you are talking about the other end, the distance would be the overall spindle length of 11-1/4" minus F, which would be 4-3/4".

  • Do Different Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Systems Have the Same Camber and Ride Height
    The caster and camber could be the same on the # TASR35HDS03 and # ASR2KHDS05. The system has a slight manufacture camber. However, it is up to you on how much camber you have based on the installation. This can be changed using the included shims. As far as the ride height is concerned, these do not have the same dimensions. This will result in a different height between the systems when installed. The # TASR35HDS03 will also stick out farther. Since there is no real advantage to using...

  • Availability of Dexter 3,500 lb Trailer Axle Hub that is Pre Greased Jamseson, you recommended
    The star shaped idler hub is how Dexter designs their hubs whereas the etrailer part # AKIHUB-545-35-K uses more of a flange. They are interchangeable though and there would be no issue going from one to the other. We have this exact style you are looking for with part # 84545UC1-EZ and it comes with a new spindle nut, washer, and cotter pin so it sounds like more what you are looking for. It is also pre-greased.

    To find the right replacement hub for a trailer you will need the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings or the measurements of the spindle to 3 decimal places. 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...

    The # e65GR uses hub assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-K. I have attached an installation video of the hub below. Since the hub is pre-greased that means the bearings are already packed so you can ignore those steps. You will still want to add additional grease as part of the installation which can be seen in the video. The base type is lithium complex so you can use something like the # L11390.

  • Can Hub for 3,500 lb Axles be Used on Axles With Different Weight Rating
    That is a good question but the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # AKIHUB-545-35-K can absolutely be used on your axle rated for less than 3,000 lbs. What matters is that you have the same # L68149 inner bearing, # L44649 outer bearing and # 58846 grease seal because this means the hub will fit your spindle. These are most often found on 3,500 lb axles but can be used on an axle with less capacity with no issues.
