Hey David, thanks for the picture. I was able to track down a spec sheet for your Dexter axle which I have included below. The 031-029-02 bearing is item # 15123 and the 031-030-02 bearing is item # 25580. For a bearing kit you can use part # BK3-110 which will come with both bearings, races, grease seal, spindle washer and cotter pin.

Jesse, Thanks for all your help! I have ordered the parts and moving forward with my project. The Dexter Axel spec sheet comes up fuzzy in the email is there a way for me to find this on my own? Thanks again

Jesse Received my correct 2.25 seals and proceeded with my project. Unfortunately the outer bearing and race are to big? Couldn’t get a part number off the bearing put have attached a photo of the race. Any ideas?

@DaveE That is very interesting since Dexters parts catalogue confirms that the 031-029-02 is the 15123 bearing. I saw your email with the pictures of the LM67010 race which contradicts the information on the axle spec sheet. Perhaps the hubs were replaced with aftermarket at some point and the replacement hubs use this different bearing? That or the specs that Dexter sent were wrong. Either way, you are going to need the # LM67010 race and the # LM67048 bearing to match. The # LM67048 bearing has the same 1.25" ID as the 15123 so it will fit the same spindle. I do appreciate your patience thru all of this. We are nearly there!

Jesse M, Can I please get a specification sheet for the Dexter axle too, please? I have the same trailer. Are these axles slightly “bananaed “ up? I jacked up my trailer by the middle of the axle and it looked like I bananaed it a bit. I put a 4’ level across it and there’s about a 3/8” gap in the middle of both axles. They’re not completely flat. Is that normal? Thanks, BK

@BryceK Hello. The axle should not be flat. It is normal for trailer axles to have a slight upwards bend. The bend in the axle is designed so it will straighten out under a load. This is what gives the axle a lot of its strength.
