Replacement Trailer Brakes, Bearings, and Seals for Dexter 6K Trailer Axles
Question:
I have a Dexter 981143 6k axle with an 8 bolt 16inch wheel on my 2013 open Range Roamer 5th Wheel I want to upgrade to the never adjust brakes. Is this the proper assembly for my axle? Also, I wasnt to repack my wheel bearings. What is the proper seats for my hubs?

Expert Reply:
We do have brakes for the 6,000 pound Dexter axle on your 2013 Open Range Roamer. That size takes 12" x 2" brakes. For a set of self-adjusting brakes in this size I recommend # AKEBRK-7-SA.
The bearing kit for the 6k Dexter axles will be either # BK3-100 or # BK3-110. There are a couple of differences between these two sets.
Set # BK3-100 includes a cotter pin and a 10-36 seal which has an inner diameter of 2.250 inches and outer diameter of 3.376 inches.
Set # BK3-110 includes a cotter pin and a tang washer (used most commonly on EZ Lube axles) and a GS-2125DL seal. This seal has an inner diameter of 2.125 inches and outer diameter of 3.376 inches.
