To find out what spindle you have you you can do one of two things. First you can see what your inner and outer bearing numbers are that you currently have on your hub. There will be a number that is stamped onto the bearings. Depending on how old the bearings are you may have to wash them off with a hot soapy water to find the number.

If the bearings are damaged or if you can not find the part numbers on the bearings, then you can take a few measurements on the spindle. You can use the Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to find out the inner diameters of the inner and outer bearing and the grease seal. These measurements need to be as precise as possible.

The Dexter Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly # DX68XR has an Inner Bearing # L68149 (1.378 inch diameter) and has an Outer Bearing # L44649 (1.063 inch diameter).

After you find out what you have per stamped number or by measurements please reach back out to me and I will be more than happy to further assist you in picking the correct one.
