Expert Reply:

The axle tag on your 3,500 lb Dexter EZ-Lube axle will have the serial number that would allow Dexter to identify the axle. You could also look at the bearings for part numbers or measure the spindle to find the inner diameter of the bearings and grease seal.

Assuming this is a standard 3,500 lb Dexter axle like the # T3584F-EZ-8974, you will have a # L68149 inner bearing, # L44649 outer bearing, and a # 58846 grease seal.
