In order to determine the correct E-Z Lube grease cap for your Dexter axle you are going to need to measure the center of the hub where the grease cap is going to fit. I recommend using digital calipers like the # PTW80157 in order to get an accurate measurement.

Once you have your measurement you can match it up to the correct grease cap which comes with the plug. The # RG04-040 will fit a hub bore of 1.99 inches, the # RG04-080 will fit a hub bore of 2.44 inches, and the # RG04-120 will fit a hub bore of 2.72 inches.

I have attached some video reviews as well as a link to our entire selection of E-Z Lube grease caps that you can check out.

The ALKO 4,400 lb axles use the same bearing sizes as the standard 3,500 lb alxes. If you want USA made bearings, I recommend the Bearing Kit #TMK52VR. This kit comes with the Timken brand bearings which are all made here in the USA.
