  • Replacement Bearings and Seals for Dexter Axle 10K Axle with Oil Bath
  • I can give you a few different options but to know the exact bearings, races, and seals you need for an oil bath on your 10K Dexter Axle you will need to take some measurements on your spindle using a digital caliper or by finding the part numbers on these pieces. Attached is a photo to show you where the part numbers are located as well as where you will need to measure on your spindle. One set of common bearings/seals are inner bearing # 387A (2.250" inner diameter) with race # 382A,...

  • Replacement Hub For Trail Star Boat Trailer With 5 Lugs For Threaded Wheel Bolts and L44649 Bearings
  • Thank you for including the image Nick as that helps me see your hub has the 5 lugs and threaded holes for wheel bolts. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub # 008-258-04 is currently the only hub we have for your spindle size which has the threaded holes. This hub comes with the races pressed in but you will need 2 of the Bearings # L44649. a Grease Seal # 10-9 and either a EZ Lube Grease Cap # DE69YR, Standard Grease Cap # F001518 or we have the Bearing Buddy # BB1980A you can upgrade to.

  • Idler Hubs, Bearings, Seals and Grease For a 2015 V22L ShoreLand'r Boat Trailer
  • Thank you for providing all the information. If you are going to replace your entire idler hub you would want the Stainless # KH84545S or Galvanized # DE36VR idlers hubs since its on a boat trailer. These will come with the Inner Race # L68111 and Outer Race # L44610 already in the hub. It will then use the Inner # L68149 and Outer # L44649 bearings along with the Seal Set # BB60002 to work with your Bearing Buddy Protectors # BB1980A-SS. If you are going to reuse your hubs you would...

  • Recommended Idler Hubs for an Older Boat Trailer With a 1" Spindle
  • Hey Joseph, depending on your bolt pattern I'd recommend going with either the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K for a 5 on 4 1/2" or the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K for a 4 on 4. Both of these kits will fit your 1" spindle with the inner diameter of the bearings being 1 inch inner diameter for both the inner and outer bearings, include the races, seal, grease cap, and lug nuts and are galvanized for extra corrosion...

  • Bearings Needed For Dexter 4,400LB Axle Under a 2022 Forest River Wildwood FSX 179DBK Travel Trailer
  • Based on the information I could find on your 2022 Forest River Wildwood FSX 179DBK travel trailer it has a 4,400lb axle. This will use the following components for the hub since we do not have these in a specific kit. Inner Bearing # L68149 Outer Bearing # LM67048 Inner Race # L68111 Outer Race # LM67010 Grease Seal # 58846 We have the Seal Puller # PTW1219 and Install Kit # PTW83020 which will make removal and installation of the seals and races easier.

  • Determining The Correct Replacement Grease Seal For A 1996 Ranger Trail Trailer
  • Hey Darin, The A24189 part number unfortunately isn't coming back to anything so you would need to measure the inner diameter of the hub where the seal sits to determine the correct replacement. The only grease seal we currently offer with a 1.688" inner diameter is part # 168233, which has a 2.332" outer diameter. If you can let me know the outer diameter I can see if it's something we could get added to our selection. Bearing # L68149 Race # L68110

  • Grease Seals For a Lippert 5,200LB Axle Under a 2015 Open Range Light 311FLR 5TH Wheel
  • The Lippert 5,200lb axle under your 2015 Open Range Light 311FLR 5TH Wheel is going to need 2 Seals # GS-2250DL per axle. We do have the Bearing Kit # BK3-300 which will contain the races, bearings, a seal and cotter pin for one hub. This would be good to keep on hand incase you find out any of the bearings and races are worn/damaged when you go to replace the seals.

  • Recommended Replacement Brake Hubs and Brakes for a Dexter 7K Axle
  • I wasn't able to find anything relating to that part number and since you're unsure of what you have I'd just recommend swapping the entire hub to make everything easier. You're just going to need to choose the hubs that have your current wheel studs. For 1/2" studs with a grease cap you'll want # 8-219-4UC3, For 1/2" studs with an E-Z lube cap you'll want # 8-219-4UC3-EZ, For 1/2" studs with an oil bath hub you'll want # 8-219-9UC3, For 9/16" studs with a grease cap you'll want # AKHD-865-7-1-K, For...

  • Upgrading Big Tex #35SA Trailer With Brakes
  • It sounds like your Big Tex trailer did not come with brakes. Based on this, to convert your trailer with no brakes, to adding electric brakes, on your Big Tex 35SA trailer, the first thing you need is a left and right brake kit. You could use the Dexter 23-26-27 kit (includes left and right) which matches your Dexter axle 4” X 4” brake flange. However, for a little more I would recommend Dexter # 23-468-469 Nev-R-Ajust self adjusting brake kit. Most people do not want to have to periodically...

  • Recommended E-Z Lube Hub and Rotor Assembly for 6K Axles
  • The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE28YR does not have the E-Z grease fitting, you'd want to take a look at the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD69FR instead. This brake assembly is the same thing as # DE28YR but also includes 2 hub-rotor assemblies with bearings, races, grease seals, E-Z lube caps, wheel bolt and lug nuts.

  • Availability Of BT 15118 And Timken 09074 Bearings For A 1950s Boat Trailer
  • Hey John, I am afraid that the info in that previous question you read is still going to hold true. The BT 15118 and 09074 bearing sizes are obsolete and are no longer readily available. Nor are there any suitable substitutes that we can offer. At this point I would have to recommend replacing the axle entirely since a new axle would use common bearing sizes and you will have no problem getting the right bearings, races and such. An option that we often recommend for older trailers is...

  • Replacement Bearings, Grease Seal And Hub Assembly For A 2002 Shorlandr WaveRunner Trailer
  • Hey John, It's normal for 2k axles to use the same bearings for both the inner and outer so the # L44649 could be the correct fit for both if that's what you found stamped on them. If the grease seal says 12404 then the # TMK36ZR may be a fit based on what I can find for this seal. I'd prefer to get some measurements on your spindle to confirm fitment though. You can measure points B, C, and D on the diagram below with a digital caliper # PTW80157 to confirm the inner diameter for the...

  • How To Find The Correct Replacement Bearings and Seals For a 2009 Single Axle Trailer
  • I can help you determine what you are going to need Robert, but unfortunately there is no database to look up information on trailers as manufacturers are not required to do so like they are with vehicles. You are going to have to remove one of your hubs and use a Caliper # PTW80157 to measure the different landing points on your spindle. I have included an image below that will help guide you on the points on the spindle to measure. Based on the 3,000LB weight I feel like you are most...

  • Can Nev-R-Lube Trailer Bearings Fit Standard Trailer Axles
  • Hey Joshua, so Nev-R-Lube bearings like the part # 31-71-3 will not fit on standard axle spindles like what you have on your new axles that currently use a two bearing setup. Since what you have now is an 8k axle the correct hub/drum you would need is one that uses standard bearings like the part # DX46XR.

  • Tools Needed To Drive In A Trailer Hub Grease Seal
  • Hi Steve, Yes, we offer the 7-Piece Installation Set for Bearings, Races, and Seals # PTW83020, which you can use to drive in your grease seal # TMK98ZR.
