Question:
I was referenced the dexter 008-256-05 as the hub I need, but not found on your site. What specs do you need to determined the hub that would work instead?

Expert Reply:
We have the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 84555UC1 that has the same 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern of the 008-256-05 hub you were told you need. It uses the same Bearings # L44649 and # L68149, Grease Seal # 58846 and other components as your hub.
You can use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS in place of the standard grease cap to make adding grease to the hub assembly easier.
I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 with the Grease Gun # L30416
