Replacement Hub Needed for Dexter Axle 8-256
Question:
I need hub for my trailer detex 8-256
asked by: Rafael R
Expert Reply:
Your Dexter Axle hub 8-256 should use an # L68149 inner bearing and an # L44649 outer bearing which means you have a #84 spindle and you'll use one of the following hubs:
5 on 4-1/2" - part # 84545BX
5 on 4-3/4" - part # 845475UC1
5 on 5" - part # 84550BX
5 on 5-1/2" - part # 84555UC1
Just match up the bolt pattern and you'll be good to go! I've attached some helpful articles on bolt patterns that you can check out if you aren't sure what you have.
