Bearings for the Dexter Nev-R-Lube Hub and Drum for 7000-Pound Axles  

Question:

Hello, I have a 3 axle living quarters thats about 20 years old. Bearings look good but looking to replace all 6. I have virtually no info and all the plaques are erroded. The only info i can discern is that they are dexter axles, 8 on 6 1/2. Im pretty sure i need this based off of the pictures i attached below. as i can see 8-385 on the hub... https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hubs-and-Drums/Dexter-Axle/8-385-81SP.html Does that seem correct? However id like to buy a mix of new hubs/drums and bearings to save money. So i can just press in some new bearings. Which bearing goes with the 8-385-81SP? is it the 50mm? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

The Dexter Nev-R-Lube Hub and Drum for 7000-Pound Axles, part # 8-385-81SP, utilizes a different kind of bearing system than traditional hubs and drums. This hub and drum comes with the bearings and snap ring already assembled into the drum. In other words, if you replace the hub and drum with this part, you will get the bearings and snap ring assembly with it. I've linked to a video review of this hub and drum for you to see.

However, if you do not want to get the whole assembly and would rather just get the bearing part, you can use part # 31-71-3. This is the exact bearing that comes with the 8-385 hubs and drums. I've linked to a video review of this bearing as well.
