We have the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 84555UC1 that has the same 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern of the 008-256-05 hub you were told you need. It uses the same Bearings # L44649 and # L68149, Grease Seal # 58846 and other components as your hub.

You can use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS in place of the standard grease cap to make adding grease to the hub assembly easier.

I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 with the Grease Gun # L30416
