Can Nev-R-Lube Trailer Bearings Fit Standard Trailer Axles
Question:
Does this nev-r-lube bearing fit any 8k dexter axle or does it have to be a special axle/hub/spindle? I ordered new axles a couple years or so ago which takes two bearing and races and a seal like normal, will it fit this axle I already have??

Hey Joshua, so Nev-R-Lube bearings like the part # 31-71-3 will not fit on standard axle spindles like what you have on your new axles that currently use a two bearing setup. Since what you have now is an 8k axle the correct hub/drum you would need is one that uses standard bearings like the part # DX46XR.
