Question:

Will this 8000lb dexter axle hub fit an AO-KO axle?

asked by: Stephen S

Expert Reply:

The best way to determine whether or not a hub is going to fit your axle and spindle is to check the bearing dimensions on your current hub-since that will determine what fits on your spindle. The size/capacity of the axle is more secondary when compared the hub fitting on the spindle; you'll also want to make sure the bolt pattern works with your current wheels to avoid having to purchase new wheels.

If your current hub uses inner bearing # 25580 (1.75" inner diameter), outer bearing # 02475 (1.25" inner diameter), Inner race # 25520 and outer race # 02420, and the grease seal has the dimensions Inner diameter: 2.25" / Outer diameter: 3.376" (you'll need to measure with a digital caliper like # PTW80157 ), you will be able to use the Dexter Hub Assembly 008-399-90 , which has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern.

If your AL-KO axle has different bearings on it or a different wheel pattern, let me know what they are using and I can recommend a different hub that will work for you.

As an aside, AL-KO was purchased by Dexter several years back, so most of the stuff that's been made in the last 10 or so years is usually spot on as a replacement.
