Question:

Hi there, I am wondering what the difference is for part number 8-201-5UC3 and 8-201-9UC3-EZ? other than the grease cap I have dexter EZ lube axles with a 3.376 inch OD grease seal part number worn off I see there are two different bearing part numbers on those hubs but the measurements seem the same? My current assembly is 23-106 and an 8-201 hub. I just want to be sure I buy the hub kit with the correct bearings and seals. Thanks

The biggest difference between the hubs part # 8-201-5UC3 and # 8-201-9UC3-EZ is the grease cap style and the weight capacity. The # 8-201-5UC3 is for non EZ lube spindles basically which means it has a solid grease cap and has a 2,600 lb capacity, and # 8-201-9UC3-EZ instead has a grease cap with a removable center section to allow access to a zerk fitting and has a 3k capacity.
