Expert Reply:

Yes, the Safe-T-Lube hubs and axles will generally use the same parts as the Dexter EZ Lube axles. I see that you were looking at the Replacement Spindle Washer # 5-101. This can definitely be used on a Safe-T-Lube axle. If you are needing other parts, we do want to make sure they are appropriately sized for your axle or hubs.

Are there any other parts you are looking to replace? If so, let me know what you need to I am happy to point you in the right direction and confirm fitment.

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

The ALKO 4,400 lb axles use the same bearing sizes as the standard 3,500 lb alxes. If you want USA made bearings, I recommend the Bearing Kit #TMK52VR. This kit comes with the Timken brand bearings which are all made here in the USA.

Since Grand Design is kind enough to list certain parts for their trailers I can confirm you have a 33" wheelbase on your 2020 Grand Design Transcend 27BHS. This means the MORryde Rubber Equalizers #MR87ZR will fit your trailer. Although I'm…

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…
