We have a few different options for the Dexter 8-256 hub. They all use the same # L68149 inner and # L44649 bearings, you just need to verify what bolt pattern you have and then order based off of that:

- 5 on 4-1/2 # 84545BX
- 5 on 4-3/4" # 845475UC1
- 5 on 5" # 84550BX
- 5 on 5-1/2" t # 84555UC1

To verify the bolt pattern on a hub with 5 bolts you'll measure from the center of one bolt to the far end of either bolt that's opposite of that bolt. I'm attaching a photo of this for you to reference as well as a link to our helpful article on bolts patterns for you to check out.
