What Bearings And Hubs Are Needed On A Dexter Axle On A 1996 Coleman Pop-Up Camper

Expert Reply:

The difference in the Dexter Hub, # 8-258-5UC1, and the Dexter Hub, # 8-258BTUC1, is the inner bearing dimensions and the inner seal dimensions.

Here are the dimensions for each hub.

Dexter Hub, # 8-258-5UC1
inner/outer bearing # L44649
Inner bearing dimension is 1.063 inches
seal # 10-9
Inner seal dimension is 1.500 inches

Dexter Hub, # 8-258BTUC1
inner/outer bearing # L44643
Inner bearing dimension is 1.00 inches
seal # 34823
Inner seal dimension is 1.249 inches

If you do not have the numbers on the old bearings, you will need to measure the inner bearing dimension on the old bearings to determine if the 1.063 inch dimension or 1.00 inch dimension will be needed. You can also measure the inner seal dimensions and those dimensions would be 1.5 inches and 1.249 inches respectively.

The Dexter hubs will come with bearings, races, seal and cap.

I also have a Dexter Hub And Drum Assembly, # 8-271-7UC3, which is a hub with an integrated drum. It has a 271 stamped on it. It uses the # L44649 inner and outer bearings and a #10-9 seal.

I am sending a video link to information on trailer bearings and seals.
