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"

  • What is a #84 Spindle and How Do I Know I Have One On My Trailer?
    The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515 uses the following parts: Inner bearing: L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) Outer bearing: L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) Grease Seal: 58846 (1.719" inner diameter and 2.565" outer diameter) As long as this matches what...

  • What Kind of Grease is in the Galvanized CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly CE13515?
    Hey Randy! The CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case item # CE13515 comes pre greased with a marine formula grease like item # L54FR. It'll fit 3,500 lbs axles with #84 spindles. I can't speak for what's on the shelf in your area but CE Smith is a reputable company that stands by their products. As far as galvanized hubs go, these are at the top of our options quality wise. What kind of trailer do you have?

  • Replacement Hub for Load Rite 19R20 Trailer
    Hi Don; I wasn't able to find anything with the model number and even if I could, I would only be guessing at the axle size for a replacement hub. You will need to identify your axle to find the right hub. You can either look for an axle tag or pull the existing hubs off to check bearings. Then you can look for the bearing part numbers or measure the inner diameter with a digital caliper # PTW80157. The # 8-258-50UC1-EZ you asked about is designed for 2,200 lb axles with # L44649 inner...

  • Replacement Bearing Set for Freedom Axle 45264 3500 lb Idler Hub
    If you're just needing replacement bearings, races and grease seals, you'll need the following per hub: • # L44649 Outer Bearing • # L68149 Inner Bearing • # L44610 Outer Race • # L68111 Inner Race • # 168255TB Grease Seal If you're wanting to replace the entire hub, you'd use # CE13515 for a galvanized hub or # CE13511 for black powder coated. The bearings, races and seal is pre-installed and the bearings are already packed with grease, but the included grease seal would be incorrect...

  • Replacement Idler Hubs For a 1990's Calkins Boat Trailer With 45264 Idler Hubs
    I recommend using the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515 for your Calkins boat trailer. These have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and is prepacked and greased for your spindle. You can add the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS to these hubs if you wish to be able to more easily fill your hub full of Grease # LOC54FR.

  • Can I Use Different Grease w/ the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly?
    Unless you want to completely clean out every bit of grease you will need to stick to a LMX red grease like item # L11390 that comes with the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly item # CE13515. You can use your blue marine grease but you can't mix the two.

  • Are There Bearing Buddy Bearing Protector Grease Caps Compatible with Harbor Freight Utility Trailer
    Harbor Freight trailers are unique. They don't have any industry standard parts on them, so replacement parts are very difficult to find. We don't have any grease caps that will fit your 2-inch hub. It may be possible to replace your hubs with a different one that will fit your spindle measurements, but you'd need to use a digital caliper to check the spindle at the bearing locations and the grease seal.

  • What Type of Grease is Recommended with CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515
    LMX red grease like the # L11390 is what the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515 typically comes with and is the best all-around grease for trailer hubs so it's what I recommend. This will also be compatible with non-red grease if you were to find that your hub didn't have that color.

  • Is The CE Smith Idler Hub Compatible With DeeMax Slip On Disc Brake Rotor For 3,500LB Axle?
    Yes, the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515 can be used with a slip on rotor like the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE42FR uses. We do also have the DeeMaxx Trailer Idler Hub # DE36VR if you would like to stick with the same manufacturer for these components. One nice feature about the DeeMax idler hub is they stamp the bearing and seal information into the hub so you will not have to pull the hub apart if you forgot what size parts you need. You will need the Inner Bearing # L68149,...

  • Determining Which Idler Hub Assemblies Will Replace Hub and Drum Assemblies On 19' Boat Trailer

What you will need to do is go ahead and remove on of the hub assemblies from your 18' boat trailer and look for the bearing number stamped in the face of each the inner and outer bearings as shown in the included picture of the # L44649. If the bearings on your trailer are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers you will need to use digital calipers # PTW80157 to preciesly measure your spindles in the locations shown in the included diagram.

  • Bearing Grease Compatible With CE Smith Prepacked Hub Kits
    According to CE Smith they use a Calcium Sulfonate grease on their hubs like the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515. This would require either the Tub # LOC64FR or Tube # LOC54FR of grease. While the color of this grease is tan it will still work as they have the same complex. The LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 you found is a Lithium complex and should not be mixed with the Calcium Sulfonate grease.

  • Comparing etrailer and CE Smith Idler Hubs for a 3,500 lb Axle
    The Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K and the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case # CE13515 fit the same spindle, have the same bolt pattern, and are galvanized so yes, essentially the only things that separate the 2 assemblies is that the CE Smith comes pre-greased and in a carrying case. If you choose to go with the etrailer option then you'll also need grease like part # L11380 to pack the bearings with. Attached are some videos for...

  • Can Timbren Axle Less System be Used for Off Road Trailer
    Hey Paul, yes you can use the Timbren Axle Less kit part # ASR2KHDS03 on a utility trailer for an off road application. Most of the time that's what these kits are used for. Then for an idler hub you'd just need the part # CE13515 and you'd be set. This has the very common trailer bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch but if you need something else just let me know.

  • What Size Idler Hubs and Bearing Buddy Protectors Fit a Shoreland'r LUV40TMXWMS1-16 Boat Trailer?
    Based on the information I could find it appears your Shoreland'r LUV40TMXWMS1-16 uses standard 3,500lb axle and hubs. I always recommend verifying this as I have seen manufacturers make changes or trailers get axles changed due to being damaged in transit. These hubs will fit the 1.98" Bearing Buddy # BB1980A-SS. The CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515 you found does contain the correct size bearings and grease seal for a standard 3,500lb axle and will also fit the Bearing Buddy...

  • Availability Of Pre-Greased and Assembled 3500lb Idler Hub with 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    I have another option for you, but we do not offer the Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84545BX you were looking at pre-greased and assembled. The reason for this is the pre-greased and assembled hubs come that way from the manufacturer and that is not something Dexter offers. Instead I recommend the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized - Pre-Greased # CE13515 which is the exact same hub as the Dexter option, but comes pre-greased...

    Absolutely! The CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized - Pre-Greased # CE13515 is absolutely compatible with Bearing Buddies. Bearing Buddies are perfect for keeping the hubs greased and preventing water from seeping in which could cause issues issues down the road. The correct Bearing Buddies for the # CE13515 is the # BB1980A. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Spare Hub for Boat Trailer with Bearing Dimensions of 1-3/8 inch and 1-1/16 inch
    Based on your bearing dimensions you do have a 3,500 lb axle. The CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized - Pre-Greased # CE13515 that you referenced would be a really great option as it has the correct wheel bolt pattern as well as comes pre-greased, comes with a carrying case, and is galvanized to help fight corrosion which is really important for boat trailers like yours.

  • Replacement Hub For an Older Shorelander Trailer With Inner Bearing 1-3/8 Inch & Outer 1-1/16 Inch
    Based on your measurements you will need a Inner Bearing # L68149 and Outer Bearing # L44649. This is the common size used on 3,500lb trailer axles. It seems odd to not have a Inner Race # L68111 on your hub. The bearing race will be a press in fit and will not require Loctite to hold it in place. On the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # CE13515 you saw the races will already come pressed in place. I do recommend measuring the landing for the grease seal. The Seal # 58846 included on...

  • Replacement Hub for 2005 Eagle Boat Trailer
    In order to determine which hubs you're going to need as a replacement you will need to pull the hubs to see what bearings will fit on your spindle; the bolt pattern is only part of the equation, but still helpful to know. To accomplish this you can either check the numbers that are stamped on the backs of the existing bearings, or measure the spindles where the bearings sit using a digital calipers like the # PTW80157.

For a great hub, I recommend the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # CE13515. This particular hub is galvanized in order to give you extra rust/corrosion protection. The hub also comes pre-greased to help with the installation. This hub is compatible with 14-inch wheels.
