Question:

Looking for a bearing kit for my Dexter 8-259 hubs.

Expert Reply:

Most of the 8-259 Dexter hubs use L44649 inner and outer bearings. For that you would need bearing kit # BK1-150. The seal included with this kit has an inner diameter of 1.50 inches. I have linked a video showing an example installation.

My dexter hub 8-259 already has a taper inside. Am I to assume I need to have them removed? Also,the bearings in this kit,are they 1 inch id? This has been a pain in the butt trying to find what I need. Im really hoping I found the correct kit.

The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - L44649 Bearings # 8-259-5UC1 are 1.063 inch inner diameter bearings. If you are seeing a taper because of too much movement at the bearings, even that small difference between 1 inch and 1.063 inch could be the reason. If you want the 1 inch inner diameter bearings and compatible hubs then instead you will want the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 8" to 12" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-2-1K or the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8-258BTUC1. If you want the galvanized option then use either # 8-258-50BTUC1 or # 8-259-50BTUC1.
