Question:

Need Bearings, races, seals for e-z lube 3000 lb dexter torsion axle

asked by: Ralph R

Expert Reply:

We have what are likely the correct bearings, races, and seal for your 3,000 lb axle. That said, we don't have any way to know precisely, so you'll need to verify this by doing some simple measuring. However, the most likely parts are Bearings # L44649 and # LM67048, Races # L44610 and # LM67010, and Grease Seals # RG06-050.

In order to verify these are the correct bearings you will need to take apart your hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use digital caliper and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings ride.

A measurement where the seal rides is also going to be needed in order to get the correct grease seal; you can use the photo I've attached to see exactly where you need to measure.

I've added a link to our bearings, races and grease seals for you which you can go through to find the right one if what I have listed is not correct, or you can let me know your measurements and I'll see if I can find them for you.
