Question:
I have 2 Dexter 8-256 hubs that I took off to inspect and re-pack bearings. I cannot seem to get the inner seal off of the first one I took of the spindle, so Im guessing a replacement is warranted lol. I have 5 on 5inch bolt pattern, but there are no identifying marks on the outer bearings. With that info, do you think the AKIHUB-550-35-K assembly would work for me? Trailer is a 2004 Miky 12x6foot utility trailer. Thanks for your help in advance

For a replacement hub for your Dexter 8-256 that has a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # 84550BX which comes with replacement bearings and a seal.
