Replacement Bearings and Races for 3,000 lb Dexter Axle

Question

Question:

Hello I received a recall on my Dexter 3000 lbs trailer axles bearings. It will take months to get it into service. I have mechanical skills so decided to replace them myself. Could you help with picking the bearings/ Race. If you have access to my cart I have added some I found online, someone asked the same question.

From what I have found, you need to following for your 3,000 lb Dexter axle:

Bearings- # L44649 outer bearing and # LM67048 inner bearing

Races- # L44610 outer race and # LM67010 inner race

Grease Seal- # 58846

I have attached a helpful video along with an article on replacing bearings and seals for your reference.

Based on the GVWR of your 2019 Jayco North Point 315RLTS it does seem like you have 7k axles. I recommend verifying this information to be sure. These axles typically use the #14125A outer and #25580 inner bearing found in the Timken #TMK92VR.…

Answer 6

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

Answer 7

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

Grease seal set #RG06-050 is what you will need. These are double lip seals, just like what you have (the spring indicates that) and the dimensions are all the same including the 1/2 inch width.

Answer 10

I'm sure we have a bearing kit for your trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing or cross-referencing VINs to determine what you need. So in order to find the correct kit you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look…

Answer 12

Past customers have told us the AL-KO 8460 uses inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 15123, which would make the Timken Bearing Kit #TMK82VR the correct replacement bearing kit for that hub. If you are looking to replace the hub entirely the correct…
