• Wet Bolt Recommendation For the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit
  The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2570 will not include wet bolts. This is due to the system using slipper springs to replace the double eye springs that come on most trailers. With the slipper springs you will only be able to use one Wet Bolt # 126B2 for each leaf spring, 4 total are needed for this kit. The wet bolts are a better option as they will keep water and rust from building up inside the leaf spring which leads to the spring...

• Grease Seals For a Lippert 5,200LB Axle Under a 2015 Open Range Light 311FLR 5TH Wheel
  The Lippert 5,200lb axle under your 2015 Open Range Light 311FLR 5TH Wheel is going to need 2 Seals # GS-2250DL per axle. We do have the Bearing Kit # BK3-300 which will contain the races, bearings, a seal and cotter pin for one hub. This would be good to keep on hand incase you find out any of the bearings and races are worn/damaged when you go to replace the seals. We have the Seal Puller # PTW1219 and Install Kit # PTW83020 which will make removal and installation of the seals and...

• How to Convert Oil Bath Trailer Hubs to Grease Hubs
  Actually all you really have to do is remove the oil from the hub and then pack the hubs with grease and then get the correct bearing buddy to match the threaded hub bore. You will need to measure the inner diameter of where the old grease cap installed on your hub to pick out the correct bearing buddy. If that measurement is 1.98 then you would wan the # BB1980T-SS, if it's 2.080 inches and has 12 threads per inch then you'd need part # BB2080T-SS, if it's 2.44 inches you'd want the part...

• Can Nylon Bushings Be Replaced With Bronze Bushings And Wet Bolts
  Hey Charles, Yes, you can replace nylon bushing with bronze bushings/wets bolts, you'll just want to make sure the useable length matches for both the bolt and bushing. The Step Wet Bolt for 1-3/4" Double Eye Springs # 34007-187-00 you were looking at has a 2-1/4" useable length so it would work with up to 1/4" thick shackle straps. For the bushings you can go with part # K71-291-00. You'll also want to make sure that you're keeping up with routine maintenance so that the bushings don't...

• How to Grease a Dexter EZ Lube Axle
  EZ Lube axles like the item # T3584F-EZ-8974 come from the factory with just a little bit of grease in the bearings. The first time you use the EZ Lube feature to fill the axle, it will take a lot of grease. You will probably use 3/4 to a full tube for each wheel. You will need the Performance Tools Heavy Duty Grease Gun - Lever Action - Aluminum item # PTW54290 to pump the grease into your axle. I have personally owned this grease gun for years and I have never had any issues or blow outs...

• What Kind of Grease is Used in Your Pre-Greased Hubs? What Kind Can I Use?
  Hello Chris, The grease that is used to pre-grease our hubs is a lithium based grease. They come pre-greased from AxleTek. With that being said, if you are looking to add more grease it doesn't need to be brand specific. What we use here in our shop in Missouri is the # L11315, or for industrial strength "The Red Stuff" # L11390. Either of them, will get the job done. Happy New Year! May 2025 be your best year yet! From, your friends here at etrailer.

  I reached out to CE Smith and found that they use Kendal grease on the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13511. The grease color they use is the red grease like # L11390, although they did say it is possible it may be tan but it is the same thing.

• Recommended Heavy Duty Shackle Kit For 2004 Raptor Triple Axle Camper
  Hey Bob, Shackle Straps are measured center to center, so for your 2004 Raptor Triple Axle you'll want an upgrade kit with 2-1/4" Shackles. I'd go with the MORryde # MR86ZR. These include super beefy 1/2" thick shackle straps which are not going to wear out like the flimsy stock ones. These will also require you to use the included wet bolts and bronze bushings, so you'll have to remove your worn out nylon bushings in you equalizers and leaf springs. Make sure you check out the openings...

• How To Tell If I Have An EZ Lube Axle
  If you look at the outermost part of the spindle on your axle there will be what is called a grease zerk or grease gun fitting. It will look like a tiny round ball which is where you can attach a grease gun to grease your spindle. If your spindle has a zerk on it then you have an E-Z lube spindle and you will want to use either the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have drum brakes or the part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K if you don't have brakes. The price difference between...

• What Kind Of Grease Does The Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly AKHD-545-35-EZ-K Use?
  Hello Rodney, thanks for reaching out. The Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K uses a lithium complex grease. This is compatible with a few different greases, but what I recommend is the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge # L11390 as it does a really great job of keeping the bearings protected and will not break down if exposed to water.

• Recommended Grease for 26' Travel Trailer
  Hey Rudy! What kind of travel trailer do you have? My go to is the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390. This can handle high temps and anything else you can throw at it. It is a lithium complex so you need to make sure it is compatible with what you have or get all of the old grease cleaned out before using it. More than likely it won't be an issue but, I added a chart below so you can be sure. You can repack your bearings by hand or use a bearing packer like the # ALL647646.

  I reached out to my contact at Dexter and was able to get the wheel bearing numbers you need for your 1999 Jayco Pop-Up Camper. The inner bearing is # L68149 and the outer bearing is # L44649.

  Hello Ron, I am very sorry to hear that your frame is bending, but I am happy to hear that the people at Lippert are getting you taken care of! Upgrading the suspension is always a great idea! In my search I see that the 2021 GD Imagine 2600 RB is equipped with 2.25" shackles. Looks like you already found the right shackle kit # MR46ZR.

  Polyurea is in the wheel bearing grease and is compatible with marine bearing grease but not the Red grease. Red grease is compatible with marine grease but not standard. I attached a help article that has a chart with all of the grease compatibilities as well.

• How Much Grease Should Be Added To Road Armor Wet Bolts On 2025 Keystone Montana High Country
  Hey John! The wet bolts on your Lippert Road Armor # LC53CK really only need a couple pumps of grease every 6 months. Lippert recommends applying grease until you see fresh grease begin to squeeze out around the bolt and bushing area. Once you see that, you're all set and can stop pumping grease. It looks like you already picked up the LubriMatic LMX # L11390. This will work really well on the wet bolts and keep the suspension on your 5th wheel lubricated and protected from premature wear. Any...

• What is Normal Temperature Rating for Trailer Hubs
  Yes, the temperatures you mentioned are normal. If you were getting over 200 degrees that would be a bad sign. But typically if all of the hubs are the same temperature you're good and it's only really an issue if one of the hubs is hotter than others and that axle isn't the sole brake axle. If you have a tandem axle setup and only one has brakes the one with brakes will get a lot hotter.

• Can Oil Bath Hubs Seal and Cap Be Used with Grease
  Oil bath seals and dust covers on the hub are perfectly fine to use with a grease setup Don. All you really have to do is remove all of the oil and then pack the hubs with grease instead. For grease I would go with the LMX Red grease like the part # L11390 which is very heavy duty and waterproof.

• How Many Pumps of Grease Should be Put in an Axle
  **UPDATE IN COMMENTS** Keep pumping grease into the fittings until you start to see a little grease seeping through the outer bearing. This means that you have packed as much grease as will fit into your spindle. Be sure to check that the grease isn't coming out the back of the axle though because that means you have a bad seal.

• Wheel Bearing Kit for 2021 Keystone Fuzion 373
  Hey Ruben, welcome back! For your 2021 Keystone Fuzion 373 with 7,000 lb axles, the Bearing Kit # BK3-200 you were looking at is likely what you need. This includes the inner and outer bearings, races, and a 2.25" ID grease seal. You'll need one kit per hub, so four total. However, some 7K axles use a smaller 2.125" seal, which would require the Bearing Kit # BK3-210 instead. If you can send me the serial number from your axle tag, or just send a picture of it, I can verify which seal...

• Correct Grease Used for Idler Hub Setup
  Thanks for reaching out Bernard. The grease used in most trailer hubs is typically a lithium complex grease, although the exact type can vary depending on the hub manufacturer and intended application. For example, hubs used in marine applications will commonly use a marine specific grease like LubriMatic Marine Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease # L54FR. I see you recently purchased the etrailer Idler Hubs # e84YR. These hubs come pre-greased with a lithium-complex grease similar to Dexter...

  Hello Scott. Sure thing! I do see you have bought the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K from us twice in the past. These hubs use a lithium complex grease. This is compatible with a few different greases, but what I recommend is the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge # L11390. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

• Recommended Disc Brake Conversion for 7,000 lb Dexter Axles
  On your 2018 Montana 3791 RD, with Dexter 7K axles, we do have the parts but not in a kit for axles that large. I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 13" Hub/Rotor - 7,000 lbs # K2HR712D along with Bearing Kit # BK3-100. I recommend using grease # L11390 and cap # F001520 instead of doing the oil bath simply because if a seal fails you can melt your bearings and cause more issues than what grease would allow. Then for the electrical aspects, I recommend the HydraStar Electric-Hydraulic...

• Replacement Hub for Tracker TrailStar Boat Trailer
  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 Bearing Buddies or EZ lube spindles as this commonly causes over-packing. Based on everything you mentioned the hub you'd need as a replacement is the Dexter part # 8-258-50UC1-EZ which matches the bolt pattern, the bearing you mentioned, and the capacity...
