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"

  • Determining Replacement Hub And Bearings For Dexter P-12 SLR Trailer Axle
    I can definitely help you find the correct replacement hub and bearings for your Dexter P-12 SLR axle, but since part of the serial number was unreadable you will need to take a few simple steps to identify which bearings your axle uses. The easiest way to accomplish this is to remove one hub and look for the numbers stamped on the inner and outer bearing like shown in the attached picture of the # L44649. If your bearings are too worn to be able to read the numbers, you will need digital...

    Your Dexter axle is a 10,000lb general duty axle that was manufactured on 1/31/01. That is all information I was able to obtain from Dexter due to the age of the axle.

  • Easiest Way to Find the Correct Replacement Hub and Drums for a Gooseneck Trailer
    The best way to find what hubs you need for your gooseneck trailer would be to get underneath it and look for an axle tag. On this tag would be a weight rating which would lead you to the correct hubs. For example, since you have a 40' gooseneck trailer, you probably have at least 9-10K axles which would mean that you could use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 9K to 10K Axles # K08-288-90. These'll work with axles made before July of 2009, so if you yours were made after,...
