Our take on the Genuine Dexter (Tie Down Engineering) Pre-Greased 3.5K Idler Hub, 5 on 4.50", Gal-Dex, 008-46210TVX

A pre-greased 3,500 lb idler trailer hub with a 5 on 4.50 bolt pattern, built for one axle position that carries no brakes. It ships as a kit with inner and outer bearings, races, a grease seal and wheel studs already packed, so it bolts on without a trip to the parts counter. The L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearings are common trailer sizes, which makes replacements easy to find. It fits standard spindles but not UFP/Vault axles unless the 1.72-inch seal is swapped for a 1.68-inch one, and the Vortex thread-in cap is not included.

What reviewers say

Owners of 3,500 lb trailers treat this as a straightforward bolt-on replacement, and the pre-greased kit saves setup time. Complaints center on the missing Vortex cap and the seal mismatch on UFP/Vault axles.

About the Genuine Dexter (Tie Down Engineering) Pre-Greased 3.5K Idler Hub, 5 on 4.50", Gal-Dex, 008-46210TVX

This is a genuine Dexter pre-greased 3.5K idler hub with a Gal-Dex finish. It has 5 lugs on a 4.50" bolt circle.

The kit comes with inner and outer bearings, a wheel seal, studs and races. The hub is pre-greased.

The hub comes with a 1.72" grease seal, so it does not work on UFP/Vault axles, which use 1.68" seals. Installing a 010-172-00 seal in place of the original makes it work on a UFP/Vault axle. The Vortex thread-in hub cap (021-261-01) is not included and must be purchased separately.

Questions and answers

Will this hub fit my 3,500 lb trailer axle?
It fits standard 3,500 lb idler spindles with a 5 on 4.50 bolt pattern. It does not fit UFP/Vault axles unless you change the seal to a 1.68-inch 010-172-00.
Does it come with bearings and a seal?
Yes. The kit includes the inner L68149 and outer L44649 bearings, races, the 010-11088 grease seal and wheel studs, all pre-greased.
Is the hub cap included?
No. The 021-261-01 Vortex thread-in cap is not included and has to be purchased separately.
Can I use this in place of a brake hub?
No. This is an idler hub for a non-brake axle position. A brake hub is a different part.
Do I need to grease it before installing?
It ships pre-greased, so it is ready to install. Repack the bearings at your normal service interval.
