E-Z Lube-Compatible Hub for Simple Lubrication

The grease cap on this hub is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.


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"

Last year, I completely overhauled my Myco triple axle trailer that sits under my 47' Fountain. Trailer and boat weigh just under 20,000 lbs. so having all wheel and brake components in top shape is critical for safety. I replaced everything down to the axles, ie: hubs, bearings, seals, rotors, calipers, brake controller, etc. I purchased everything from eTrailer.com. Shipping was very fast and not only were their prices a third of what Myco wanted to charge me, but any issue or question I had during the process, their customer service was always helpful. Very happy with eTrailer.com and I'm confident that my trailer is safe.



by:

This hub is complete and ready to install, just grease the bearings, install the seal and install this hub. This would make an excellent backup hub with packed bearings in a ziplock bag and it is ready for a quick field replacement.

It has been working out great. I would not hesitate to use this product again and likely will. Trailer bearings do go bad over time and this is a fast and effective way to get your trailer back on the road and under a load.

  • Recommended Idler Hubs for Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension 3,500 lbs
    In order to add an idler hub (no brakes) to the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # TASR35HDS06 you'd need to use either the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-213-5UC1-EZ which has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern or the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ which has a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. Please note, if you go with the former you'll need a different grease seal, the Grease Seal part # GS-2250DL. I have attached some of our wheel/tire options...

  • Replacement Idler Hub Options For A Dexter 8-135 Idler Hub
    We have a few idler hub options that use bearings with similar inner diameters to your current setup but you'll need to first verify the axle's capacity and the wheel bolt pattern to determine the best replacement. 5,200lb Axles with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern # 8-213-5UC1 5,200lb to 7,000lb Axles with 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern # 8-231-9UC1-EZ If you can get me more info on your setup I'd be happy to narrow down the correct fit for you.

  • Wheel Stud Length for Trailer Hub # 8-231-9UC1-EZ
    The replacement studs for the trailer hub # 8-231-9UC1-EZ are part number # 7-262 which overall are 2.7 inches but would stick through the hub 1-1/4 inches past the mounting flange of it.

  • Determining Which HydraStar Disc Brake Kit Fits 2017 Grand Design Momentum W/ Triple Axles
    I would be happy to help you determine which disc brake kits fits your 2017 Grand Design Momentum M399TH Toy Hauler but you will need to first confirm your bearing combination. The easiest way to do this is by removing one of your current hub assemblies and checking the face of both the inner and outer bearings for a stamped bearing number as shown in the included picture of the # L44649. If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers then you will need...

  • Will Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System HD 3,500 Lbs Work without Brakes
    Yes, you can still use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System like part # ASR35HDS01 without brakes and just hubs. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ for 8 lug or the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-655-6-EZ-K for 6 lug will both work great.

  • Idler Trailer Hubs For Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR35HDS02
    The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR35HDS02 utilizes a #42 trailer spindle and will not work with a ram hub. We do have a Idler Hub Assembly # 8-231-9UC1-EZ which will include the bearings and seals for one side. This kit gives you a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern.

  • What Grease Seal is Needed for the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam Part # 7461121
    Yes, the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ is a confirmed fit for the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # 7461121. You may have noticed that the axle beam takes a 15123 outer bearing and the trailer hub takes a 14125A outer bearing. However, they both have a 1.25" inner diameter therefore can be exchanged for one another.

  • 7k Trailer Hub with 8 Lug Pattern with 9/16 inch Wheel Studs
    We have similar hubs to the Dexter # 8-231-9UC1-EZ you referenced with the 9/16 inch wheel studs with the part # AKIHUB-865-7-1-EZ-K but we don't have anything from Dexter. I attached a review video for this hub for you to check out as well.

  • Electric Over Hydualic Disc Brake Setup for 2020 Grand Design Momentum 376THS
    The HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers - 13" Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - 7K # HSE7K-TR1SO will work great on your 2020 Grand Design Momentum 376THS with 7k triple axles but this is a slip on kit so you will need idler hubs as well and then you'd be set. For a grease hub you'd just need 6 of the part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ and you'd be set. The Hydrastar rotors will slip right over these hubs.

  • Correct HydraStar Disc Brake Kit for 50' Kaufman Car Hauler Trailer
    The HydraStar Disc Brake Kit is designed for trailers with 7K axles and an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern so if this is what you have it will work well. That said, if you have hub/drums now you'll also need new idler hubs, the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ.

  • What Spindle Fits the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub # 8-231-9UC1-EZ?
    The correct spindle that fits the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 # 8-231-9UC1-EZ is the #42 Spindle for 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Trailer Axles - 2-1/4" Diameter # TRU57FR. We also have the #42 spindle that comes with a brake flange if you need it. That is the #42 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Flange for 5.2K to 7K Trailer Axles - 2-1/4" Diameter # TRU37FR.

  • Converting to Trailer Hubs with Different 8 on 6-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern
    Switching to a hub and drum assembly like the Dexter # 42866UC3 that has a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern will fit just fine on your existing trailer. The inner bearing # 25580 is the same for both this assembly and what you currently have, and the # 14125A outer bearing has the same inner diameter as the # LM67048, so it will still be compatible with your spindle. You can make this conversion without issue. For idler hubs I recommend the Dexter # 8-231-9UC1-EZ. These particular hubs...

The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ contains the correct bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap and lug nuts for an 8 on 6-1/2" lug pattern with 1/2" studs.

  • Which Spindle is Used for the # 8-231-9UC1-EZ Hub Assembly
    The Hub Assembly you referenced, part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ uses the part # TRU37FR spindle. In addition to the bearings, races, seal and grease cap, the assembly includes 1/2 inch wheel studs with 1/2 inch cone wheel nuts. You would need to use a different grease seal, part # RG06-070. Welding a spindle is a tricky business, it is very important that the spindle is perfectly square to the axle. You will want to use a certified welder who is experienced with installing spindles.

  • Spindle and Hub Recommendation for an Axle with Non Standard Spindles
    Based on the dimensions you listed for the spindles you have on the axles that were given to you we do not have any hubs that would fit. The best solution I could recommend for you so that you could use the axles you have would be to replace the spindles that are currently on the axle with part # TRU37FR. Spindles should only be installed by a qualified welder with experience working on trailers. For a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern hub confirmed to fit this spindle you would want the part...

  • Parts Needed to Install Disc Brakes on a Trailer with Drum Brakes
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R712E is designed to work on idler hubs exactly like the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-231-9UC1-EZ that you referenced. These parts are totally compatible with each other and I can assure you that the spacing between the caliper and rotor will be the correct. Typically when someone is going from drum brakes to disc the preferred method is to go with hub and rotor disc brake kits. For that you would instead want the part # K2HR79E.

Those compatible hub part numbers are # 42866UC3, # 8-219-4UC3 and # 8-231-9UC1-EZ. We also offer the matching race for this bearing, which is part # 14276. The inner diameter of this bearing is 1.250 inches. I have linked an article and several videos on hubs and bearings that may be helpful to you.

  • Replacement Trailer Hubs for Spindle # TRU57FR or Spindle # TRU37FR
    If those measurements are spindle measurements, we do not have an exact match, but the best way to find the correct replacement hubs is to find the inner and outer bearings numbers stamped onto the bearings. With those numbers, finding the correct hubs will be easy. Most of the time, mobile home axles are good for one time use only. The closest spindle we have to the measurements you have provided would either be # TRU57FR or # TRU37FR. For the TRU57FR spindle with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern,...

  • Are all 5,200 Lbs. Axle hubs Standard on all 5,200 Lbs. Rated Axles
    Most hubs will be standard in the weight capacities for that sized axle. This range is usually 5200 to 7000 lbs. However, you will need to know some specific information about the hubs before you can pick the correct product for your application. There are a few things you need to consider when choosing hubs for 5200 lbs. trailer axles. The first thing you will need to know is what the bolt pattern of the hub you want to replace. A hub assembly like # 8-213-5UC1-EZ for 5200 to 6000 lbs...

  • Will # 8-213-5UC1 and # 8-231-9UC1-EZ Hubs Fit the Same Spindle
    Although both hubs you mention use a different outer bearing, the inside diameter of those different bearings is the same, so both hubs CAN be used on the same spindle. The outer diameter and thickness of both bearings is different, so the bearings cannot be swapped back and forth between the two different hubs. A 5200 lb axle is a de-rated 6000 lb axle. Therefore, swapping to the higher rated # 8-231-9UC1-EZ hub won't necessarily increase the capacity of your trailer. You'll be limited...

    The tire size you mentioned, 225/65R17, is not a size used on trailers. I can't recommend using a tire on a trailer not designed for trailers but, you can physically use this size on the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # TASR35HDS07 with an appropriate hub. The hubs we offer for this are the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-655-6-EZ-K which has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ which has a 8 on 6-1/2"...
