• Replacement Bearing Kit for 7,000 lb Dexter Axles
  
• For your Dexter 7K axles, you will want the Bearing Kit, 14125A/ 25580 Bearings, 10-36 Seal # BK3-200 for each hub if you have the standard spindle. If you have the EZ Lube spindle with the grease zerk then you will want # BK3-210 to include the EZ Lube washer. For the grease, I recommend the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge # L11390. If you want to pack them easily, I recommend using the Bearing Packer - Plastic # PTW1218. I've also attached an article...

• How to Grease the Bearings on My Trailer
  
• Greasing the bearings is actually a fairly easy process. It does take a little bit of time to complete, but after you are done you won't have to worry about greasing the bearings again for a few years. I do have some recommendations to help make this process a bit easier for you. When it comes to packing the bearings with grease you do have a few different options. You can either do it by hand or you can use a grease packer. Although doing it by hand is definitely the most cost efficient...

• Recommended Grease Conversion for Dexter 12k Oil Bath Axles
  
• The Dexter 12K oil bath axles can be changed over to grease without any issues. The oil does keep the bearings lubricated well, but there is a much higher risk of leaking which leads to a much higher risk of failure. I'd personally move to grease # L11390 and make sure it is packed well into the bearings using # PTW1218. This will allow you to use your same bearings and oil cap, but you will need to replace the seal once removed to pack the inner bearing. For that you can use # 10-56.

• Electric Hub and Drum/Self-Adjusting Brakes Assemblies Needed for Lippert 3,500 lb Axles
  
• I do have a hub and drum/electric drum brake combination for you, but unfortunately the only pre-greased hubs that we have are idler hubs. I was able to verify with Lippert that the axle with the part V000378958 is a 3,500 lb axle. They were not able to verify the bearings and grease seal but typically a 3,500 lb axle will use an Innder Bearing # L68149, and Outer Bearing # L44649, andthe Grease Seal # 58846 that has a 1.719" ID and a 2.565" OD. If you can verify that this is the...

• Recommended Galvanized Hubs Assemblies With 4 Bolts For Boat Trailer
  
• Since you have the spindles with the zerk on the end, I recommend the EZ lube that you mentioned because it is designed to give you easy access to that zerk by removing the plug and not the entire cap. For this assembly, you will want the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-2K. If you really don't want the EZ lube access, you can use the AKIHUB-440-2-G-2K with the solid caps. We don't have any assemblies already grease packed...

• How to Install Races in a Hub Assembly
  
• We do not carry a tool that will help install your races, though I can pass on some information for you that might be helpful. To install your races, this is what you'll want to do, according to our help article on replacing bearings, races and seals on a trailer hub (which I'll link for you). First, place the race in the hub, thin edge towards the outside. Carefully tap in the race until it is level with the hub. After the race is level, the old race can be used to push the new race...

• Recommended Hub Assembly for 1 Inch Axle Spindle
  
• We have the complete assemblies available with the races installed, but you still will need to install the bearings and seal to attach to your spindle. I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 # AKIHUB-440-2-2K or the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern # AKIHUB-545-2-2K. These will both fit 1 inch spindles and have all the needed parts, so you just pack the bearings and install on your spindle. For grease use # L11465 for grease packer use # PTW1218.

• Installing Disc Brake Rotors with E-Coat Finish
  
• No, the E-Coat is not to be removed from the rotors. The E-coat is a protective coat that will prevent corrosion but it will not cause issues with coating your brake pads or have any negative impact. The Dexter Disc Brake Kit - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - E-Coat - 3,500 lbs # K71-633-2 comes ready to install. I recommend packing the bearings of the hubs as usual using a grease packer like # PTW1218 and once that installation is done, then you can simply wipe down the other parts...

• Replacement Bearing Kit for a 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH
  
• The correct replacement wheel bearing kit or your 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH should be the Bearing Kit for #84 Spindles part # BK2-100. This bearing kit comes with one L68149 inner bearing, one L44649 outer bearing, the corresponding races, a 10-19 grease seal, a tang washer, and a cotter pin. This will be everything that you need to rebuild the hubs on your Dexter 3,500 lb axle. You will need one kit per hub. Please note that in order to ensure you have the bearings properly...

• Replacement Bearing Kit and Brakes for a 2013 Rockwood Premier Series M-2514G
  
• Since you don't know the exact parts currently on the trailer we're basically guessing. So I've linked our return policy for you in case you need it. From my research the Rockwood likely has a 3,500 pound axle and therefore uses 10 inch brakes. The 10 inch brake assemblies I recommend for you (And almost always recommend) are # AKEBRK-35-SA. These are self-adjusting so after the original set up they won't need to be adjusted again. Both the left and right hand side are included,...

• Recommended Replacement Hub for Dexter 8-91A
  
• I reached out to my contact at Dexter regarding the numbers you gave. They couldn't match anything and suggested that you most likely have a 8-91A, which is a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. That is a very basic trailer hub assembly and the replacement part is # 8-91-05UC1. This assembly comes with the L44643 bearings, the grease seal, the lugs and the grease cap. I'd suggest a bearing packer like # PTW1218 and the Industrial Strength Grease # L11390.

• Replacement Bearing Kit For 1998 Coleman Cheyenne Pop Up Camper
  
• For your 1998 Coleman Cheyenne pop up camper, the Bearing Kit, L44649 Inner/Outer Bearings, 10-60 Seal # BK1-150 is the correct fit based on the info you gave me. If your spindles didn't have a washer, you can add it or not. Some axles don't use washers and this kit comes with the d-shaped washer with the holder for the cotter pin for the castle nut. That washer goes between the outer bearing and the nut as you mentioned. When you install these, you will want to use a bearing packer...

• Selecting Replacement Hubs for 1963 Travel Trailer
  
• Thank you for the information from your vintage travel trailer's existing hub assembly. This is likely a casting number and will not give us what we need to find you correct replacement hubs, but it is not hard to determine correct new hubs. You will definitely want to replace both hubs. Things you need to match up are the hub bolt pattern, the axle weight rating and the bearing numbers. The linked article will help you with identifying the bolt pattern, the axle should have a sticker...

• Replacement Bearings and Seals for 1976 EZ Loader Trailer
  
• It sounds like your trailer uses bearings # L44649 for both the inner and outer. The inner diameter is 1.063 inches like you said. If this is the case then the bearing kit you need is # BK1-150. The seals with the kit are # RG06-020 that have an inner diameter of 1.500 inches and an outer of 1.987 inches. You also may have seals that have an inner diameter of 1.375 inches and an outer diameter of 1.980 inches. If this is the case you'll use the same bearings but seals # BB60005. You...

• Replacement Idler Hub for Older Trailer with 0.99-Inch Spindle Diameter
  
• A replacement hub for your older trailer must use the same bearing set as the original hub. This ensures the hub will fit properly on your spindles. The hub kit you referenced, part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K, uses bearing # L44643 as its inner and outer bearing. This bearing's inner diameter, which fits over the spindle shaft, measures 1.00-inches so it will fit your 0.99-inch spindles as long as they are straight, not tapered. Another kit that will work is part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K which uses the...

• Thank you for your VIN. I was able to use this and determine that you need the Bearing Kit part # BK1-150. This kit has everything that you need to rebuild one hub so you will need two per axle. If you don't already have a bearing packer and grease you can use both part # PTW1218 and part # L11404.

• Resistance When Pulling Trailer After New Hub Installation
  
• If you just have idler hubs and not braking assembles on your trailer then I don't think the wrong size bearings are the problem. If you did install the wrong size bearings then they would have had to of been larger and in that case you would have a lot of play on the idler hubs, not resistance. I believe the problem you are experiencing has to do with the amount of torque that was applied to the castle nut that attaches the ider hub to the spindle. If you take a look at the 6:00 minute...

• Is there a Torque Spec for Installation of Castle Nut on 2,000 lb Axle?
  
• The castle nuts do not have a torque spec. Bearings and races are fit to the spindle precisely and will have minimal movement to the washer and castle nut which will simply be tightened and held in place with the cotter pin # 165649. We recommend tightening until the nut stops without added force and then backing it off one notch to fit the castle nut. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - L44649 Bearings # 8-91-05UC1 is a fit for 1.063 inch spindles and...

• Does the Titan 5 on 4-1/2 Complete Hub-and-Drum Assembly # T1544500042 Come Fully Assembled
  
• Everything comes with the Titan 5 on 4-1/2 Complete Hub-and-Drum Assembly # T1544500042 but you will need to pack the bearings and then install them and the grease seal inside the hub and drum assembly. You can use a bearing packer like part # PTW1218 to make packing the grease into the bearings much easier. This tool requires the use of a grease gun like part # L30200 and a cartridge like part # L11465 if you don't already have these handy.

• Do New Trailer Bearings, Races, and Seals have to be Cleaned First Before Packing them With Grease
  
• There is no need to clean off the bearing, races, or seals such as those that come in bearing kit # BK2-100. You can start packing them with grease right away. If they are dirty or you just want to make sure they are clean then I recommend using some spray brake cleaner available at any auto parts store. I have linked our help article on grease for you. To limit the mess when packing bearings you can use a packing tool such as # PTW1218. I have linked a video review for you.

• Replacement Trailer Hub for EZ Loader Boat Trailer with 2K Axle
  
• I did some research on your EZ Loader Boat Trailer and found out that you have part # L44649 bearings which means the Trailer Hub Assembly part # 8-258-50UC1-EZ is the best option we have for you. However, the grease seal included with this hub is not correct nor do we have the correct one (12194TC) for you therefore you would need to obtain this elsewhere. This hub does not come pre-greased and we do not have any with these bearings that are but we do have the Bearing Packer part # PTW1218...

• Replacement Bearings Needed for a 1998 Coleman Rio Camper
  
• To determine what replacement bearings you will need for your 1998 Coleman Rio camper you will need to take your hub off and either find the part numbers that are on the bearings and grease seal or use a Digital Caliper # 17068 to find the inner diameter of your inner and outer bearing as well as the inner and outer diameter of your grease seal. I have attached a picture that you can use as a reference to measure the B, C, and D spots on your spindle. Once you know these measurements you...
