Hub is designed for use on trailer idler axles. Fits 3,500-lb axles with #84 spindles. Inner bearing (L68149) and race, outer bearing (L44649) and race, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts included. Pre-greased for easy installation.
Features:
Specs:
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.
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.)
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.)
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.

Hub is designed for use on trailer idler axles. Fits 3,500-lb axles with #84 spindles. Inner bearing (L68149) and race, outer bearing (L44649) and race, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts included. Pre-greased for easy installation.I selected this hub from several in my size available from etrailer.com as the description indicates the hub is made in USA. There were some a good bit cheaper and at least one that was more expensive so I thought this would be a quality US made hub. I was disappointed to find it proudly marked “Made in China” when it arrived and it appears to be the same as the ones available at local auto parts stores at a lower cost. All of which appear less robust than the original hubs on my trailer.
I wanted to use a different grease than the manufacturer had packed the bearings with so I had to remove the grease seal and bearings to clean out that grease. In my original hub the bearing races were easy to remove as the seat the race bottoms out on in the hub is low enough that a punch can be used to push out the race. In this new hub the seat for the inner bearing is as high as the entire race which will make it more difficult to replace the race in the future.
Once installed, the spindle nut was farther inside the hub cone when tight making it more difficult to get the cotter pin in. I had the washer behind the nut and the hub width is the same as the original hub so this hub may have the seats for the bearing races machined further into the hub. I did not try to measure and confirm that.
I have not used the trailer other than a test drive so far. Hopefully the hub will hold up just fine.
etrailer has always been great for me with a good selection of parts, help with selecting the correct parts if I need it, and fast getting orders sent out so I continue to be a happy customer.
That's a little sketchy on buying one at first but it literally fit like a glove, It was well packed and had new lug nuts as definitely well made so I ordered another one for the other side lol. THANK YOU. I definitely would do business with these people this is how it is done thank you very much! P.S the price is definitely worth it.
I was looking for idler hub assemblies for my 6' x 12' utility trailer. Apparently 5 studs on 5" circle is not that common. Most trailers are 5 on 4.5. The entire experience with etrailer was great. They helped me with the selection of the idler hub assemblies and assured me I was selecting the correct hub assembly based on the bearing numbers that came out. The ordering was slick, especially with PayPal, and the least expensive delivery method was fast. Ordered them on a Thursday and UPS delivered them Monday morning. Excellent quality and a fair price. Will definitely use trailer.com again.
Performing maintenance on a 23 year old trailer. The replacement hubs were an exact fit. Saved me the hassle of tracking down bearings, races and seals. Added benefit of new hubs, studs and lug nuts. These came pre packed with grease. Just added more grease and installed on the axle. If these last another 23 years, they will be perfect.
Good morning Patrick
I receved the hubs and it`s perfect thank you

Thats an awesome trailer! Exactly what Id like to build to pull behind my JK. Im hoping these 5 on 5 hubs are the Jeep wheel pattern so I only need one spare?
Way better than factory very very pleased with this product. Very responsive on emails thank you very much and I will definitely enjoy my new hubs.
It fit perfectly. Would be five stars, but the description says hub is made in America but it is actually made in China.
I place a order for about 18 trailer hubs . When order came in all the hubs had been boxed wrong & I call they check there inventory those were box wrong . I was told it would take 6 weeks to refill order , so I was force to go to another brand hub that cost $XX.00 Ea. more .

I am sorry to hear that we ped the ball on this one and were not able to ship the replacements right away. We do want to take care of our customers as quickly as possible if an incorrect part is shipped. I appreciate that you were willing to order a different hub with us and I hope they are working well for you.
Delivery was late and one of the hubs was not pregreased with the blue cover in place. This may have been a shipping damaged item as I order two and one was fine although the amount of grease in the second one was not nearly what it was in the first one.

I apologize for the quality of one of your hubs. Customer Service will be reaching out to you.
As described perfect and arrived 2 days early
Perfect fit, great price and fast shipping. You cant go wrong with these guys.
My 12 year old utility trailer needed new bearings. It was just easier to buy new Complete hubs than hassle with removing seals and races and installing new ones. Plus Free shipping.

Great product, perfect fit and fast delivery. Great company!
Very nice to have this in the box ready to go for our long pocket cruising sailboat trailer over ten hours. I just replaced the bearings and packed them myself, and have an infrared thermometer to check the bearings at fuel stops, but if we do get into an issue on the road, this is an easy swap to ensure we aren't stranded on the side of the road.

Still our backup, ready to go!
Item arrived exactly as described, assembled, greased and ready to be installed. I literally took it out of the box, removed the plastic protective caps, and slipped it over the axle stub. It fit perfectly and works great. Very pleased with product cost, fast shipping and ease of installation.

No issues what-so-ever. Working perfectly with no complaints.
Installed easily, glad it's pre-greased. Great deal! Shipping from etrailer was fast. Other websites didn't provide enough info to know if I was ordering the right part. etrailer did a good job of describing what was being purchased so they won my business.

Its been a year, no complaints!
As always, eTrailer was great to work with in this recent order, but the quality of, at least one part in this kit, is really lacking. The easy lube axle cap, the one where the rubber cap inserts, is such thin metal that it deforms almost beyond use when attempting to insert it into the hub. I would have thought that this was the new "par for the course," except that I also ordered just the bearing rebuild kit, part no. DBRKHW35EZ, for my second axle on this trailer, the one with the brakes, and the replacement easy lube cap that came with this kit was almost twice the metal thickness and worked wonderfully without deformation. Given that this hub replacement is noted as the "Premium" replacement hub kit, I believe the cap should have been of usable thicker metal.
I needed to replace a hub with a 5x5 pattern. The only choice in this pattern was the star shaped hub. This seems to be a sturdy hub but I wish it was a full hub, seems heavy built though, time will tell if it holds up. I like that it comes complete with bearings, dust cap, seal and lug nuts.
This was a complete kit, all the pieces were included and there were no surprises. This was part of an axle replacement, the entire job of bolting on the axle and the hubs took less than 2 hours. I chose this hub so that I can use the truck spare tire for the trailer, too.
Had a wheel bearing go out which took out the spindle and hub. This hub was the perfect replacement. Made the repair quick and easy.
I thank you for taking time selecting the correct hub and barring assembly for my trailer. The hub arrived on time for me to make repairs and to go fishing the next day.
Quality hubs quality bearings Haley help me find what I needed very helpful knows what she’s doing you can find cheaper ones but read the reviews not so good thanks again E trailer and Haley
Went on smooth, no issues so far, the cover was a little tough getting on, so I'm sure it'll be fun taking back off to grease. Still, I'd rather have a tight seal. Quality of the bearings, and hub seem to be above par.
They're very helpful, fast, professional the way all companies should strive for.
The hub assembly worked great, I have been using it for a year now without any issues.
Thank you for helping me with this great product.

Hub was exactly as described and was shipped in a very timely matter.
Shipping was much faster than expected. Customer service was excellent and a representative reached out to modify my order for faster delivery due to an item being back ordered. A replacement item was selected and everything arrived soon after order confirmation. All items arrived well packaged and exactly as I ordered it. I would definitely order from etrailer again.

After a year, the hubs are working well. Dont really have a lot of miles on them, but, they seem to be performing as well as the factory originals.
