Will the 42mm Nev-R-Lube Bearing Fit Dexter 6,000 Pound Axles on a 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
Hello, I have a Fifthwheel Trailer, and it has two Dexter 6000 pound axles under it. Im wanting to replace the bearings, but not with Dexter bearings. Will the 42mm sealed bearings that you have, will the hold up the 6000 pound axles ? Im new to all of this, so forgive me for a bit green..... Thnks for your time

Helpful Expert Reply:
It is not likely but still possible that the 42MM Nev-R-Lube bearing # 31-73-3 would fit your 6K Dexter axles and hubs. These bearings are specifically designed to fit Dexter Nev-R-Lube axles which are not all that common.
You can check the outer bearing number without removing the hub from the trailer (you will probably have to wipe away some grease). If the outer bearing is any of the following then the Nev-R-Lube bearing will definitely not fit:
