Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this 50 millimeter Dexter Nev-R-Lube Bearing Cartridge for the Dexter Nev-R-Lube 8,000 pound axles. Now, this is a 50 millimeter cartridge style Nev-R-Lube bearing. Now, this type of bearing does look different than your normal wheel bearings, but basically with this, what you're getting is you're getting both the inner and outer bearing together, and then it's lubricated and then they're sealed in this cartridge. So you have the bearings all put together. So this cartridge you just insert into your hub and drum.
Basically, there's no need to pull the hubs to repack the bearings. There's no need to replace the seals when you check the brakes, and there are no more inner and outer bearings to mess with. It's all combined right into this one cartridge. It does give you the preset adjustments, which makes ease of installation, because human error is virtually eliminated in the bearing adjustments. And this is pre-lubricated that we mentioned at the bearing factory, which will make it resistant to contamination, and it's sealed for life.
So there's no bearing maintenance, gives you increased durability and reliability, and of course, lower maintenance costs. Now, this part will include everything showed here on the table, the 50 millimeter bearing cartridge itself, the large inner snap ring, the smaller outer snap ring, the spindle washer, the spindle nut, and then a torque information ring. Now, this does fit the Dexter 50 millimeter 8,000 pound Nev-R Lube axles with the eight lugs, six and a half inch bolt pattern. This will work on the hub and drum assemblies with the drum size of 12 inches by two inches, and 12 and a quarter inches by three and three eight inches. Few measurements on the cartridge itself, and we're gonna measure it in millimeters.
So the inside diameter is gonna be right at, oops, let's do it in millimeters. There we go. Flip it over. And there's your 50 millimeter measurement. The overall diameter of the whole bearing cartridge itself from one end to the other, 84 millimeters.
And the width on it is right at 54 millimeters wide. But that should do it for the review on this 50 millimeter Nev-R Lube Bearing Cartridge for the Dexter Nev-R Lube 8,000 pound axles..
Unfortunately I am changing this bearing after less than a 2000 mile trip.I was changing a tire and found a lot of bearing grease in the center of the wheel cover. I feel that I was lucky that I discovered this before a bigger failure occurred.
With only limited miles on the bearing I can only say okay so far. My experience with Etrailer has always been great. Fair price and quick shipping. When talking to their staff helpful and courteous.
This was unexpected when we say what type of bearing was on this Dexter Axle. Scott showed it to 3 Trailer parts guys, none had any idea what it was off of.
Well eTrailer stocked them and at the best price too. One thing I didn't know when I ordered these kits. They come with the spindle nut, washer and both snap rings, which I ordered additionally...Great company to do business with. Fast shipping.
I have had two 5th wheel trailers with the Never lube bearings and they have worked well. I am replacing the bearings while I have the brakes apart since the trailer is now 10 years old. My current bearings are still working but wanted to replace everything in the brake system and the hub bearings are part of the process.
Thanks Rebecca at Etrailer.com, I appreciate your great work!
Great deal on hard to find parts!
Bearings arrived as promised, appear to be of high quality and same as original (time of use will tell). Customer service and support was exceptional to be commended with the entire purchase of axle/brake components. Great support, service and first stop for future needs.

Bearings appear and fit like OEM replacements. Expectation is a long service life.
I am very pleased with the Dexter sealed bearings. I have installed them on my horse trailer twice. Installation is straight forward and easy. I will continue to buy this product.
We have owned our 2008 Cameo Carriage Fifth wheel trailer for eight years now, and have done some extensive travelling in Canada and the United States.
The previous owner suggested that we always carry a spare “Nev-R-Lube” bearing with us when travelling. And yes, the spare bearing was left at home. What can I say, COVID, memory loss and a trailer that was parked for over two years!
On our return trip from Florida this year, the tire wear on one of the trailer tires suggested that a new bearing would have to be installed.
I have over time replaced all 4 bearings, one at a time, with different down times all of which depended on the availability and delivery time to my breakdown location with a new spare bearing. etrailer.com has been the easiest supplier I have dealt with to date. Free shipping (USA) directly to our campsite on time and as promised allowing us to book the bearing replacement on our departure date.
New to on line ordering, this experience has proven to be very successful.
You all had what I needed thanks
After 10 years and near 100,000 miles on our trailer, it was time to feel more secure so we had our Nev-R-Lube Bearing replaced lately by a new set of four. Peace of mind for yeras to come!
Great to have the genuine replacement bearing for my 11 year old fifth wheel.
As per usual e-trailer came through for me again. Thanks etrailer for you great work!!!
I found a bad bearing 6 day's before my trip. Called e trailer and 5he had the bearing in stock. I asked for second day. Said it would ship the next day. It actually shipped that day. Got it earlier than expected. Got installed with no problem. Thank you e trailer
These bearings require pressed in but never need periodic lubing. Relatively easy to replace and good for 10 years, a good price at etrailer.
The bearing were delivered on time ( one day aire) and they were the right bearing could not of aks for anything more. etrailer did a great job in getting me the right part to fix my 5th wheel.Great job Melinda E
The never-lube bearing is a Chinese copy of the original Timken bearing.
I'm sure it will work for a while, but by looking at it I can see it is not the same quality as the original Dexter installed.
I received the Nev-R-Lube bearings quickly. Fortunately my cousin has a 20 ton press which allowed me to remove the old bearings and install the new. Thus far I have not heard very good reviews on the Nev-R-Lube bearings. I hope my experience is positive. Otherwise, I will be changing axles to a system that can be maintained more easily and certainly cheaper.
Took a couple of days longer than expected because etrailer needed to get it from there vender. Still it got here in about a week. The bearing was the exact one!
Excellent customer service. Bought the bearing cartridge to carry with me on trips as a spare. After calling several local dealers and they did not have the bearing cartridge in stock, bought one from etrailer.Great service and fast shipping.
The product from etrailer is exactly what I need. My third order from etrailer while broken down on the road. Hard to find part; unbelievably quick shipment
Same size as original. Chinese bearing. Original was a Timken. Went together good. Just tried it on our first trip. No problems yet. Great service from Etrailer as always. Thank you.
Bearings needed to be replaced and these did the trick. Would buy again
Glad u stock them as I called the manufacturer and they said they are still ok but I noticed 2 were heating up so replaced and now normal temp. Thanks!
