Replacement Bearing Kit for 7,000 lb Dexter Axles

Question

Question:

Hello, How do I determine the correct replacement Bearing Kit for 7k Dexter Axles. I have a 2017 Traxx 14k GVWR 27foot Gooseneck Trailer. I would like to install a new Bearing Kit and would like to know how do I determine the Correct Information needed to purchase the Kit. Also, can you recommend the Grease / Lub as well. Thank you,

For your Dexter 7K axles, you will want the Bearing Kit, 14125A/ 25580 Bearings, 10-36 Seal # BK3-200 for each hub if you have the standard spindle. If you have the EZ Lube spindle with the grease zerk then you will want # BK3-210 to include the EZ Lube washer.

For the grease, I recommend the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge # L11390. If you want to pack them easily, I recommend using the Bearing Packer - Plastic # PTW1218. I've also attached an article to assist.
