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"

I patiently waited through about 3 1/2 months of supply delays, and the hubs have arrived. Pre-lubed, with shipping covers, was a nice touch. Most difficult was removing and re-installing the axle cotter pin. Otherwise, maybe 7 minutes install time per hub. Not punching out the bearing as it slides onto the stub is only other point of concern. Dust caps are a bit hard to get set. If I can, I'll include photos of previous axles, new install, and finished.

Easy money to install. I use stock 4runner wheels and tires on my trailer now.
by: Galen04/11/2020
I bought a 5'x10' utility trailer that had some jeep wheels mounted with some wheel spacers with the 5x4.5 bolt pattern. I had some 6 lug wheels that matched my truck and wanted to switch the trailer over to 6x5.5 pattern and eliminate the wheel spacers. I followed the how to in the faq section on how to measure my axle spindle for correct hub/hub bearing replacement. These hubs were exactly what I needed and mounted just fine. It was awesome that the races, bearings, seals, and grease were pre-installed. Took about 20 minutes per side from old wheels and tires on the ground to new wheels and tires on the ground ready to roll. Very nice all in one product. The quality of the parts looks and feels great. Well worth the money. I would recommend these and etrailer.com to anyone needing parts to maintain your trailer. Thanks!

I’ve been looking for this hub for a few months now, and when I saw it online, I spent like two hours checking and rechecking it was the one I needed. The good thing is that the description on etrailer.com is detailed. Frankly now that I think about it, I spent more time making sure it was the correct hub, than what I did putting them on. They were pre greased and fit perfectly. The shipping was quick too, I received them three days after I placed my order. Thank you, etrailer.com for having what I needed.

arrived in time. Worked perfectly
by: Joe V.01/06/2023
Excellent Hub Assembly that comes ready to slide onto the spindle. Purchased these hubs for a Trailer here in Canada. Even with the crazy exchange rate and shipping. It was still a better deal.
by: Mark09/29/2022
First time I ordered hub and spindle so they would match up sent the wrong hub for the spindle so reorder hub was back ordered for months I gave and got a refund but the whole axle I was working on I scraped and just a used axle so the new spindle was worthless.
by: Allen 12/28/2022
Excellent service, my parts arrived as premised.
by: Lee01/09/2018
These hubs installed perfectly on my utility trailer, and now it runs 17" 6-lug wheels that match my 4x4 (after fabricating a centering hub for the hub-centric wheels). With the addition of Bearing Buddies (also from etrailer) it's a great setup. Very happy with the product quality and delivery, etrailer is tops!

Ashley was a pleasure to work with she helped me place my order. Product was just as advertised.

I ordered two wheel hubs with bearing last year for my trailer. Parts were easy to locate on your web sight, ordering was easy and shipment was very rapid. The parts are quality parts and have performed well for the past year. Very pleased with my purchase.
by: Scott05/17/2020
Fit as expected, was a bit challenging as the trailer that came with the had the hubs rusted to the wheel, nothings would separate them, heat, cold nothing worked. Took the whole thing of and ordered the hub by micrometer measurements of the spindle. Fortunately etrailer provides these measurements.
I knew this rig was a labor of love from the start
by: Graham06/16/2020
Good product. But the shipping was delayed at no fault of etrailer. But it took a long time to even get a tracking number. Didn't get a tracking number untill I contacted etrailer about it
by: Steven H07/11/2019
I wanted to have the same bolt pattern on my trailer as my truck. When I needed a new rim for my trailer I bought 2 and made the switch. This will help save space and weight not needing an another spare tire. Web site had all the info you need, making it very easy to know what you are getting. shipment was on time. just add grease at install and you are ready to go.

We are a very small agricultural manufacturing company, all our implements that require axle,spindles,tires,or wheels will be bought at etrailer. FREE SHIPPING!!! BIG SAVINGS!! GOOD EASY WEBSITE.

etrailer as been a great help finding the right Hub to fit the wheel and tire I have. I didn't have any trouble with returning my 1st set of hubs. I haven't had a chance to see their products at work with my AG. sprayer trailer. Thank you for your help.
by: Edward 09/11/2020
Nicely made. Good quality. They look like they’ll last for the life of the trailer as long as I maintain the maintenance

- How to Pick Out Replacement Hub for Shoreland'r Trailer What is the axle capacity and bolt pattern of the hub of your trailer? With that info I can pick you out the correct parts but without that I don't have a way to look up what you need with just the trailer model number. Otherwise in 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...

Your Chevrolet wheels with their 3.07-inch pilot hole will fit on these hubs. You will want to be sure to use only special trailer (ST-type) tires on the wheels when you fabricate your trailer. Passenger car tires are not suitable for use on trailers. ST tires are made with stiffer side walls to handle the vertical loads found on a trailer. A number of helpful...

view full answer... - Availability Of 5 On 4-1/4 Hubs And How To Measure A 5 Or 6 Lug PatternI am not aware of any 5 or 6 lug hubs that have a 4-1/4" bolt spacing. We would definitely want to verify that you are measuring your bolt pattern correctly. The best way to measure a 5 lug pattern is to measure from the center of one hole, to the outside edge of the hole across from it. This will give you the true bolt pattern measurement. So if you measure 4-1/2" from the center to the outside edge, it is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. For a 6 lug wheel you can measure from the center...

You can confirm whether you have a 3500 lb axle by pulling one of the hubs, removing the inner and outer wheel bearing and examining the sides of the cages that hold the roller bearings. There will be a reference number engraved on the side of the bearing cages. If the numbers read L68149 on the larger inner bearing and L44649 on the smaller outer bearing,...

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...
view full answer... - How to Convert 3,500 lb Dexter Axle from Wheel Bolts to Wheel StudsI have a solution for you, but you would not be able to thread in wheel studs to your hub that uses lug bolts. Instead you would need to replace the hub with one that has studs mounted in them. For that we have the part # AKIHUB-655-35-K for an idler hub or part # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K for a hub drum. Both of these will fit your Dexter 3,500 lb axle and have the correct 6 lug bolt pattern.

You want grease seals to be as close to matching specs as possible, but a difference of 0.008" won't be an issue - it's actually better that it is slightly smaller than it would be for it to be slightly bigger.

view full answer... - How to Find Correct Replacement Hubs for Shorelandr Boat TrailerIn order to find the correct replacement hubs for your Shoreland'r boat trailer, you need to first know 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 and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings and grease seal ride. You can...

- 2006 Chevy Colorado Spare Tire Use for 6 on 5-1/2 Inch Trailer Idler Hub AssemblyI looked up the information on your 2006 Chevrolet Colorado Wheel, and the bolt pattern is a match and your pilot hole will fit over the outer bearing hub bore. As you mentioned, you will want to check your bearing diameter to ensure you have the right hub and confirm the axle capacity as well. The bearings that come with this hub are inner bearing # L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) and outer bearing # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter). I've attached a picture to help. However, you will want...

- Will AxleTek Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-K Fit 2007 5x8 Enclosed TrailerYes, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-K should fit the 2-3/8" diameter axle that you currently have installed on your 2007 5x8 enclosed trailer. If you can verify that the axle on your trailer is a 3,500 lb axle then that would confirm the fit indefinitely as this hub uses the same bearings and seal as the common #84 spindle on a 3,500 lb axle. Just note that this hub assembly does have the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern so your current wheels will not be compatible with it. If...
view full answer... - How To Use Toyota TRD Pro 17 Inch Wheels With Hubs On a Dexter 3,500 Lb AxleThe wheel bore can be an issue but the bigger concern I see right off the bat is that you have 5 lug hubs and want to use 6 lug wheels. Therefore, we need to get you the correct hubs first before you can address the hub bore difference. The good news however is that you can upgrade to 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 84655UC1-EZ. According to my research, the Toyota TRD Pro 17" Wheels have a 6 x 139.7mm bolt pattern which is the same as 6 on 5-1/2"...

- Recommended Idler Hub With 6 On 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern For Timbren Axe-Less SuspensionIf you have the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, part # ASR2KHDS02 for your trailer, we have just what you are looking for. I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, part # AKIHUB-655-35-K. This is an idler hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. This hub includes bearing and race, outer bearing and race, grease seal, grease cap, and lug nuts. This hub will work with wheels from 14 inch to 17-1/2 inch diameter.

This axle will not fit your current hubs you purchased but it does come with brakes and hubs already. To use the Hubs # AKHD-655-35-K & # AKIHUB-655-35-K you purchased and mount to the 85" hub face you would need to replace your axles with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR3500S05.

I recommend changing out your spindles for more long term options and compatibility. This will require a professional welder, but is a better long term option to have standard spindles. You may want to consider changing out your spindles for #84 EZ Lube Spindles # TRU74FR or # TRU24FR. This will give you spindles compatible with no. 84 spindles. Then you...
view full answer... - How To Find Correct Replacement Bearings and Hub for Shorelandr Boat TrailerI have a few options for you to help with identifying the bearings on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find the bearings based off industry standards. For example, a 3,500 lb axle uses L68149 and L44649 bearings like what comes with the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and Al-Ko Axles part # BK2-100 or the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly...

You won't find any for a 2k axle. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-35-K and Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K both have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. For brakes you can use the # AKEBRK-35-SA. If you only want idler hubs you would use the # AKIHUB-655-35-K or # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K instead. All of these hubs use # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings commonly found on...

The numbers can tell us size the spindle on the axle and tell us what the weight capacity of the axle. If by chance the bearing numbers are missing or worn off, then the attached picture will show you what measurements are needed to find the correct bearings.

- Availability Of 6 on 5-1/2 Idler Hub With LM67048 And L68149 BearingsThere is one hub that we carry that uses the LM67048 outer and L68149 Inner bearing. This is a hub and drum assembly # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. The only problem is the seal that comes with this is a 10-19 seal which has an inner diameter of 1.719". So this would not effectively seal your spindle. We would also have to put electric brakes on the axle in order to use that hub. This bearing combination is very uncommon these days. It may prove very difficult to find compatible hubs. At this point...

According to the information you sent in you need the Hub Bearing Kit # BK2-100 as well as the Bearing Buddy Stainless Steel Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS. The hub bearing kit has everything you need for an individual hub and then the Bearing Buddy kit comes with 2 of the Bearing Buddys and their corresponding covers. Attached are some videos for you to check out.

There is only one hub that would fit with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, which is the # AH15450ECOMP Trailer Hub Assembly. This is designed for agricultural use and speeds less than 20 mph so I would not recommend using it as a replacement for the hub on your boat trailer.

These have made a world of difference compared to the old ones. Even looks better. All 4 wheels the same, lug nuts all same, not fighting rust. Should have bought a fifth wheel for the spare, but whatever. Glad I got them. I will remember them ifwhen I get to my next trailer build. Now, what about converting trailer house axles to highway hubs, hmm.
