Yes, the CE Smith Trailer Hub part # CE13511 will fit as a replacement for your DICO hub 45264 but you will need to use a different seal as we have found that your spindle diameter is slightly different which means you need the # 168255TB as well.

I have a 2 freedom axles on my car trailer. They appear from my measurements to be 5x5 on bolt pattern. 45264 is the number on the back of hub along with another number BB1. Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what the bolt pattern would be and what brake kit would be a direct bolt on electric kit for my trailer now?

The hubs you have for 3,500 lb axles. The electric hubs you need are the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies # AKEBRK-35-SA. These assemblies after initial setup will adjust as needed to ensure the brakes work at full capacity. I've attached a printable bolt hole pattern template for you to determine the pattern of your hubs.

I have a dico 45264 which is a 4.25 5 lug. Is this correct?

Yes, the CE Smith # CE13511 that Jameson mentioned above will work well. As noted though you will need to replace its seal with part # 168255TB.

@ChrisR michael asked if his dico 45264 was a 4.25 and your answered yes, but I click on the replacement e13511, and it's a 4.5.

@KimW I think that MichaelM may have meant 5 on 4-1/2" (or he possibly measured to the inner edges of the bolts) because when I researched the Dico 45264 it has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

We have an older Hoosier Pontoon Trailer which I've been told has a Dico hub on it originally but haven't found a number anywhere on it. It how ever uses 2 different bearing sizes for inner-L68149 outer-LM11949 have been told this is no longer avail to replace and will need new axle. Do you by chance have one to replace or is this in fact the case. Thank you

I wish I had better news for you but it does look like that particular hub size is obsolete - we don't have anything that will fit your existing spindles. Your best option likely is indeed a full replacement axle that feature more standard/current spindle dimensions.
