The only difference between the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ and the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3 is that # 42866UC3-EZ is designed to be used with #42 E-Z lube spindles and # 42866UC3 is meant for regular #42 spindles. Other than that, # 42866UC3-EZ and # 42866UC3 are the same.
