I was able to look up your previous order and find that your Dexter Axle came with the Inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649.

A great replacement kit for these bearing numbers is the # BK2-100, it will include the inner and outer bearing and matching race as well as the grease seal cotter pin and tang washer. Since you ordered an EZ lube axle you will need to use the tang washer.

I have linked the above mentioned products to this page for your viewing and purchasing convenience.
