Your 14GN Big Tex trailer with a Dexter 7,000lb axle is going to need the Bearing Kit # BK3-200. This will provide you with the bearings, races and grease seal for 1 hub so you will need 4 kits to replace the bearings on your entire trailer.

Depending on the brakes optioned for your axle you will either have the Standard Brake Kit # 23-180-181 or Nev-R-Adjust Brake Kit # 23-464-465. You should be able to find the part number stamped on the back of the brake assembly if you are unsure. The standard brake kit will use the Replacement Shoe Kit # DX28FR per hub while the Nev-R-Adjust will use the Replacement Shoe Kit # K71-676. If you cannot find the number stamped on the back of the brake assembly, please take a picture of the axle tag on the center of the axle tube and I can verify what Dexter installed on your axle from the factory.
