Review of Dexter Axle Trailer Axles - Leaf Spring Suspension - 8327834 Video

Yes, if your trailer has two axles that are rated for 7,000 lbs then they would have a 14,000 lb capacity. However, there should be an identifying stamp somewhere on the trailer that has its capacity on it. You would need to follow whatever the…

I really wish I had a way to look that up but since either hub would fit the same spindle that info isn't available for me to look up. You'll have to measure the stud diameters and go with the part #K2HR79E if they are 9/16 inch or…

The torque specs for 9/16" diameter u-bolts like the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles part #APUBR-9 will be a range, from 65 ft. lbs. to 95 ft. lbs. If the tie-plates start to bend inside this range that…

I see you were looking at the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam #8327834 which uses a #42 Spindle #TRU37FR. This axle will allow for a Hub/Drum with Inner Bearing #25580(1.75" inner diameter), Outer Bearing #14125A(1.25" inner diameter) and…

For 8,000 Lb. Dexter axles on your 5th wheel, I suggest the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, #K2HR89DD. This will replace the hub/drums you have with rotor/hubs and the mounting brackets will attach to the mounting flanges you have. These are dacromet-plated…

To replace a spindle, the old one would need to be cut off, and the new one welded into place. This is NOT a job for the do-it-yourselfer. The new spindle must be absolutely square with the axle in order to prevent premature tire wear and wheel…

We do have a compatible grease seal for your 168255TC oil seal, however, we do not carry rubber coated seals in this size. The 168255TC oil seal was designed to work with oil bath hubs on a 3,500 lb axle. For the most part, axle manufacturers have…

The best way to find the correct wheel bearing kit for a trailer is to determine the axle capacity which can be found by reading the axle tag on the center of the beam. The other option is to reach out to the trailer manufacturer with the VIN. The…

The only recommendation I can make for you would be to remove your hub and current grease seal so that you can determine what you currently have either by measuring it or getting the number off it and then pick out the correct seal based on that…

Thank you for the VIN. You are correct in that a failing oil seal will cause oil to escape from the bearings therefore, you will need to replace your seals. I called EZ Loader and they informed me that you have a 3,700 lb. axle. In order to replace…

An axle with a 3 inch diameter axle tube typically has a 5200, 6000 or 7000 lb capacity. The inner and outer wheel bearings would be the determining factor that would tell you the actual capacity. We do have 95 inch axles (hub face to hub face…

It may be possible to change your studs from 1/2" to 9/16" so long as the studs are drive-in (as opposed to threaded); also, the length and knurl diameter needs to be the same. For example, the Kodiak Wheel Bolt - 9/16"…
