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 bought these hubs to replace the mobile home style hubs on my trailer. I will have to switch out the seal to fit my spindles
by: John04/22/2021
Great quality, great prices. I converted an old gooseneck trailer from the open center mobile home-style hubs to modern 6k hubs on a budget. These hubs fit in place of the old hubs on the rear axle, which I chose not to install brakes on.

Trailer hubs are working great despite being immersed in salt water regularly.
by: Tom 01/25/2023
This is the second time that I have ordered from etrailer. The first idler hub is still working fine on my boat trailer. I use the trailer to haul my boat to the Salish Sea off Port Angeles. The trailer is immersed in salt water every time I launch and retrieve the boat.

Complete accurate and overall fast and speedy shipping, couldn’t find this product anywhere even local trailer dealers, but Etrailer.com had these, I would buy from them again !!!
by: Gary B10/06/2016
I am very happy with Etrailer, Great service and delivery. Lots of information to help me get the hubs I needed to change over from mobile home wheels to standard 6 lug trailer wheels. Shipping was fast and I even received a phone call before they shipped, because the address they were sent to did not match the billing address.
Thanks etrailer, Gary B

Good Product easy to install. Use the assembly every day. No problems with it for over a year.
by: Chuck B.07/13/2017
The hubs replaced my old rusted ones perfectly. I selected two day shipping when I ordered on Saturday but I didn't receive the order until Wednesday. The box was damaged and one of the caps were damaged by the hub because of not enough packing material in the box.

- Can 5-Spoke Utility Hub Be Replaced with Hub with Standard Bolt PatternWe have some hubs that can replace the 5-Spoke utility-style you're currently using, but they use a 6 lug pattern which actually works out because you'll need to replace your wheels for your tires anyways. To increase your tire size I recommend a 235/80-16 tire (which reduces your clearance by 2" altogether) so for a complete set of parts you'll need the following: - Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-K - Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-K - 10-10 Grease or Oil Double-Lip...

- Availability of 6k Trailer Hub with 6 Lug Bolt Pattern Pre-GreasedWe have pre-greased 6k trailer hubs with 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt patterns like the etrailer part # AKIHUB-655-6-K but we do not have any that are galvanized. This would still work great in a marine application though.
view full answer... - What Spindle Fits the Trailer Hub # AKIHUB-655-6-KI think you may be going about replacing your hubs backwards. The only way to do it is to first determine what spindle you have on the trailer and then find the correct hub to fit it by either using the bearing numbers or the dimensions of the spindle. The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-K would require a 42 spindle like the part # TRU37FR. This hub has 1.25 and 1.75 inches where the bearings ride. If you send me the info you find I can help you find the right part.

- Spindle and Hub for 6,000 Pound AxleYou will want part # TRU57FR for your standard spindle that is compatible with the hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K you mentioned. Another option is # TRU67FR which is an agricultural spindle to fit the 6k capacity. The hub compatible with this spindle is the # AH60880FCOMP.
view full answer... - Pilot Diameter for etrailer Hubs # AKIHUB-655-6-K and # AKIHUB-865-7-2-KThere is no brake mounting flange on either the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-655-6-K or part # AKIHUB-865-7-2-K. These simply mount onto the your spindle. If you are talking about the overall diameter of the plate that the bolts are installed on then part # AKIHUB-655-6-K measures about 7-1/4" and part # AKIHUB-865-7-2-K measures about 8-1/2". Part # AKIHUB-655-6-K has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, is compatible with 16" to 18-1/2" wheels, and has a pilot diameter of 3-1/8" at...
view full answer... - How Many Hubs Come With Idle Hub Assembly # 42655UC1?The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 42655UC1 is one hub, not the pair. If you are looking for the same size assembly at a more cost efficient price point, then I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKIHUB-655-6-K . This comes with the same bearings, races, seal and bolt pattern. I've also linked the page to all your hub options for this size. They all come as one hub per part number.
view full answer... - Which Hub Assembly is Compatible with the Agricultural Spindle # TRU34FRAlthough the outer bearing of the # AKIHUB-655-6-K hub assembly will fit, the inner bearing will be too large. Instead, you'll need the Complete Agricultural Hub Assembly, # AH30660FCOMP, which is designed to fit the agricultural spindle # TRU34FR. I've attached a couple of review videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - Replacement Bearings 2788 and 1779Bearing # 2788 has an inner diameter of 1.50-inches and fits race # 2729. Bearing # 1779 has an inner diameter of 0.938-inches and fits race # 1729. We do offer all of these bearing and race parts and if you wish you can install new bearings in your current hubs. The idler hub you referenced, part # AKIHUB-655-6-K, uses different bearings that have different dimensions. The bearings in this hub are inner bearing # 25580 (1.75-inch inner diameter) and outer bearing # 15123 (1.25-inch inner...

- What is Minimum Pilot Diameter Wheel the Hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K RequiresThe pilot diameter of the wheel that would fit on the # AKIHUB-655-6-K would need to be more than 3-1/8 inches as that is the outer diameter of the center section of the portion of the hub.
view full answer... - Recommended Wheels and Tires for 6 on 5-1/2 Inch Idler HubsThe Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-655-6-K will work well with wheels like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Modular White Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range D # AM32673 each of which are rated for 2,540 lbs. You won't have any issues with speed on these as anything with that bolt pattern will be rated for highway speeds and the holding weight will be above what you need for the shipping container.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub Assemblies For A 2007 Four Winns Trailer AxleI have a few hub and drum assembly options for you however, we currently do not offer an oil bath hub and drums that matches the specs you have provided. If you'd like to replace your oil bath hubs with a standard grease hub, I do have a few kits that will include everything you need to install new hubs, bearings, and grease seals on your trailer. I recommend using the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-655-6-K as this is our most cost effective kit we have available. You...
view full answer... - How to Select Correct Replacement Idler Hubs for TrailerWhen substituting new hubs you need to match several things: the axle capacity, the wheel bolt pattern and the bearing set used inside the hub. Bearing dimensions can be used instead of the bearing part numbers but the part numbers are the best way to ensure the new hub will fit properly on your spindles. Matching the inner and outer bearing numbers ensures compatibility. You can also measure your current hubs' outside-to-inside depth (the distance from the outer bore where a grease cap...
view full answer... - How To Upgrade Old Dexter Axle From 5 on 5 Inch to 6 on 5-1/2 Inch Bolt PatternIt looks like you have the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-174-5UC3 which is for old 6,000 lb to 7,000 lb axles that have the 5 on 5" bolt pattern. If that is the case then you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-655-6-K and the 10-10 Grease or Oil Double-Lip Seals part # RG06-090 to switch to a more common 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. In order to confirm the above, you simply need to find the axle tag and look for the weight capacity and or serial number or...

- Availability of Independent Suspension Trailer Axle Kit for Off-Road Trailer with 6 Lug HubSounds like you may be looking for an axle kit like the Timbren Axle-Less part # ASR35HDS02. This is a 3,500 lb axle setup that has a 4 inch lift built into it and is spaced out for off-road tires. For an idler hub that fits it with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern we have the part # AKIHUB-655-6-K.
view full answer... - Timbren Axle Less Recommendation that Allows 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern to InstallI have a solution for you, but it will require you to go up to the 3,500 lb version of the Timbren. For that you would want the # ASR35HDS02 and then for hubs part # AKIHUB-655-6-K. These hubs have the 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you need.
view full answer... - Timbren 3,500 lb Axleless Kit Recommendation for Trailer with Lift Built InYou can run tandem Timbren axles like the part # ASR35HDS02 which is set up for wider tires and also has a 4 inch lift built into it. For an idler hub for the idler axle you'd want the part # AKIHUB-655-6-K. For a brake hub you'd want the part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. The wheel and tire part # TA57VR has a matching bolt pattern and has a speed rating of 81 mph so this would be a great option.
view full answer... - How to Determine the Replacement Hubs for a 2002 Magic Tilt TrailerTo determine what the correct replacement hubs are for your Magic Tilt trailer there is a little bit of information that we will need. We will need to find out inner diameter of both the Inner and Outer Bearings as well as the inner diameter of the Grease Seal. To ensure that your current wheels are compatible with the hub that you get you will need to make sure that you also have the appropriate bolt pattern on your hub. If you remove one of your current hubs you should be able to see...

- Axle Recommendation for Building Off Road Trailer with Hubs with 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt PatternSince the plan is for the trailer to be an off-road trailer I would recommend a Timbren system that has a built in lift and is set up for wider tires. For that the # ASR35HDS02 would be perfect as it fits that criteria. Also, since these don't have an axle that runs through them that helps significantly with ground clearance. For a brake hub that would fit the spindle you would want the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ as it also has the correct bolt pattern. For just an idler hub you would want the...
view full answer... - Which 6 Lug Trailer Hub Does Best in Saltwater ApplicationSince the # AKIHUB-655-6-K is just painted steel it would not be my first choice for a saltwater application as it would pretty quickly start to corrode. The absolute best option would stainless steel like the Kodiak part # KH42655S as stainless steel won't corrode. Next best option would be the galvanized part # 8-213-51UC1 which won't be as resistant to corrosion as stainless but would do a much better job than just paint as it's a zinc coated steel which does a pretty decent job with...
view full answer... - Thread Pitch of Studs on Trailer Hub # AKIHUB-655-6-KThe trailer hub part # AKIHUB-655-6-K that you referenced uses standard 1/2 inch trailer wheel studs like the part # 165981. This is a coarse thread (UNC) with a thread pitch of 1/2 inch x 13 threads.
view full answer... - Dexter Axle Hub Conversion for 14.5 Inch or 15 Inch Wheels on Equipment TrailerThanks for the information on your trailer. For your axle with brakes I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K if you have the spindles with the integrated grease zerk. If you have standard spindles, I recommend # AKHD-655-6-K which have the standard grease cap instead. These assemblies will fit perfectly with your axles based on the bearing and seal information you gave as well as 14.5 inch wheels. Then...
view full answer... - Can Hub AKIHUB-655-6-K be Used in Place of Hub 8-213-5UC1You can use hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K provided that the larger seal is a proper fit for your spindle. The smaller one included with hub # 8-213-5UC1 would provide a tighter fit but if your current seal inner diameter is 2-1/4 inches then hub # AKIHUB-655-6-K will be fine. If it is smaller then the larger seal would cause grease to leak out.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Hub Assembly part # 42655UC1-EZ Fit a Spindle TRU57FRYes, the Hub part # AKIHUB-655-6-K that you referenced is a fit for the spindle part # TRU57FR that you also referenced.
