The LM67048 (5,200 lb Outer Bearing), 15123 (6,000 lb Outer Bearing), and even 14125A (7,000 lb Outer Bearing) all have the same 1.25" inner diameter so you can use any of them on a 5,200 lb axle. For this, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. If you want to go up to the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern you would need the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 42866UC3-EZ which uses an 14125A outer bearing.

Answer 5

The biggest difference between the hubs part #8-201-5UC3 and #8-201-9UC3-EZ is the grease cap style and the weight capacity. The #8-201-5UC3 is for non EZ lube spindles basically which means it has a solid grease cap and has a 2,600 lb capacity,…

Answer 8

The hub you mentioned part number K08-201-91 is our part #8-201-9UC3-EZ and is a 6k axle from Dexter. It's actually pretty common though for axles with capacities ranging from 5,200 to 7,000 lb to share same hub setups so I could see pretty…

Yep! Your Dexter Hub part #8-201-9UC3-EZ requires a 2.44 inch grease cap so the correct grease cap would be the #BB2441.

Answer 11

The short answer is Yes, bearing #15123 is slightly larger and stronger than #LM67048 and they use different races which means they are not interchangeable. Bearing 15123 uses race #15245 which has an outer diameter of 2.441 inches and bearing…

Answer 12

Mobile home axles, hubs, and parts are designed for more of a one time use. Most of the time, replacement parts and options are not available. However, since you found the bearing numbers (Inner Bearing Item #25580 and Outer Bearing Item #15245) then…
