Availability of Replacement for Hubs With 5 on 5-1/4" Bolt Pattern
Updated 02/05/2025 | Published 12/11/2024
Question:
My trailer hubs measure out at 5 x 5.25” am I measuring it wrong or do you not offer this seize in replacement hubs?

Hi Hayden; that bolt pattern is really uncommon but I believe it can be found on some really old Airstream trailers. There are no modern replacements that will match. The best option is to replace the hub with one that has a common bolt pattern like the 5 on 4-1/2 found on the # AKIHUB-555-35-K you looked at.
If you want to double check your measurement I went ahead and attached a help article below which explains how to measure. If you find that you have a different bolt pattern, and the hub listed above won't fit, I would be happy to help you find a replacement if you can also let me know the axle capacity/bearing combination you need along with the bolt pattern.

Yoou were correct Robin, I wasn't measuring correctly. I do have 5x5.5"" hubs. The part you attached appears to work. How can I confirm this will fit on my axle? It was a homemade trailer, I have no information other than that. Or are hubs a universal fit to all axles?
