Helpful Expert Reply:

Dexter Nev-R-Lube Bearings such as the 50MM # 31-71-3 do not have a specific maintenance or replacement schedule. These are pre-lubricated at the factory, which will make it resistant to contamination, and sealed for life so there is typically no bearing maintenance needed. In nearly all cases they last the life of the trailer.

Dan, they won’t. The Dexter 7K ABS brakes #DX69WR / #DX79WR are specifically designed for Dexter Tow Assist axles - the flange offset and ABS tone ring position are unique to Dexter’s design. On Lippert 7K axles, the sensor alignment won’t match, so…

Answer 12

Yes you can go the route you mentioned. You'd need to install an idler Dexter 8k Nev R Lube hub with part #004-402-90 on your spindles and then you could use a slip on kit like the part #K71-635-90 and you'd be set.
