Based on the information I could find on your 2022 Forest River Wildwood FSX 179DBK travel trailer it has a 4,400lb axle. This will use the following components for the hub since we do not have these in a specific kit.

Inner Bearing # L68149
Outer Bearing # LM67048
Inner Race # L68111
Outer Race # LM67010
Grease Seal # 58846

We have the Seal Puller # PTW1219 and Install Kit # PTW83020 which will make removal and installation of the seals and races easier. We also have the Dexter Grease # DX64TR that is recommend for your hubs with the Bearing Packer # PTW1218 to ensure you get grease fully pressed into the bearings before installing them.

EZ Lube axles like the item #T3584F-EZ-8974 come from the factory with just a little bit of grease in the bearings. The first time you use the EZ Lube feature to fill the axle, it will take a lot of grease. You will probably use 3/4 to a full tube…
