TruRyde Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps - Bearings - BK1-150 Review Video

From the information that I was able to find on the L44549 bearing, it shows it being a 1-1/16 inch bearing which is the same as Trailer Hub Bearing, #L44649. Just to be sure, I recommend measuring the L44549 bearing with a digital caliper to confirm…

The key for selecting a replacement grease seal is the reference number, in this case #10-9. The manufacturer code does not matter. This is a single-lip seal with an inner diameter of 1.500-inches and an outer diameter of 1.987-inches. It is…

The reason for the price difference is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #8-271-7UC3-EZ are only compatible with hydraulic brakes, where the #8-257-5UC3 are compatible with electric and hydraulic brakes. Since most people use electric trailer…

You can check the condition of your hub's races by carefully removing all bearing grease with a rag to expose the actual surface of the races. When they are completely free of grease, etc., inspect them for any signs of scoring (very slight…

For a bearing kit that matches the bearing numbers and races you mentioned you would want the part #BK1-150 which includes the races and seals you'd need. You'd need a kit of these for each hub that gets replaced.

I would be happy to shed light on this for you; Bearing Kit #BK1-150 is manufactured by TruRyde. It contains inner and outer bearing L44649, inner and outer race L44610 as well as grease seal 10-60. I've added links to a couple video reviews of…

Most of the 8-259 Dexter hubs use L44649 inner and outer bearings. For that you would need bearing kit #BK1-150. The seal included with this kit has an inner diameter of 1.50 inches. I have linked a video showing an example installation.

Most likely all you have to do is replace the seal, but to be safe you'd want to pull the hub off and inspect the bearings to make sure everything looks good. It's one of those things where you're already right there so you may as well…

The bearing kit we offer that uses the L44649 bearings is part #BK1-150. This kit is designed for 3,500-lb axles and it includes the bearings, races, seal, cotter pin, and an EZ Lube spindle washer. This bearing kit is designed to fit spindles that…

Overpacking the trailer hub with grease is the number one reason for grease seal failure. For a boat trailer I would recommend re-packing the hubs by hand with grease once per season and you'd be fine. I don't like recommending people use…

For a Dexter hub 8-258 the correct seal is the part #10-9.

Thanks for the picture! That is definitely not the connector you are looking for. I have attached a picture below that will show you exactly where to look to find the connector. You are indeed looking for a white connector, but with a red tip. I have…
