Bearing Kit for 3500-lb Dexter Axle on 2018 Catalina Trail Blazer TH26  

Question:

I have a 2018 Catalina Trail Blazer TH26 and want to replace the wheel bearings. The unit has 3500 lb. Dexter axles with EZ Lube. Can you suggest inner, outer bearings and seals.

Expert Reply:

An axle's weight rating tells us a lot about the bearings it is likely to use and a 3500-lb Dexter axle typically uses inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649 and seal # 58846 which has an inner diameter of 1.719-inches and an outer diameter of 2.565-inches. By the way these components are offered together as kit # BK2-100 which also includes the races, tang washer and cotter pin. If you pull one hub and can confirm the outer bearing is # L44649 then you can confidently use bearing kit # BK2-100.

When you re-pack your new bearings you might want to use a bearing packer like # ALL647646 or # L70025 which help you get the bearings fully packed with fresh grease while reducing some of the mess. You can refer to the linked article for more on the process of replacing your tandem axle Catalina's bearings.

I also linked an article on the available formulas of grease for various applications. We offer wheel bearing grease in 14-ounce tubes # L11465 as well as in 4-lb tubs # L11380.
