For a Dexter 8,000 lbs axle you will need the following parts:

Inner Bearing item # 25580

Outer Bearing item # 02475

Grease Seal item # GS-2125DL (2.125")

Grease Seal item # GS-2250DL (2.250")

We do not sell these parts in a kit. You will need one of each per hub.

When pulling the hubs off of a trailer and repacking the bearings you will inevitably unseat your brake shoes. Using the Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes part #W80630 will allow you to make a slight adjustment to the brakes to tighten them up a…

The #W80630 brake adjustment tool we offer is two sided. One side has a 90 degree bend in it that makes accessing the brake adjuster on a drop spindle much easier. The #W80630 tool will work just fine for you.

If you just want the magnet clips, you will use the Replacement Magnet Clips for Electric Brake Assemblies (Qty 4) #BP19005. If you need a replacement magnet, spring, and clip then I recommend the Replacement Magnet Kit for Dexter 12-1/4"…

Answer 6

The magnet clips #BP19005 should not be making contact with the drum while the brakes engage, so I do not think that is the problem. What I think is going on is it's just not seating all the way. These can get a little squished or deformed…

Answer 7

In order to properly adjust the Dexter electric brake assemblies on your travel trailer, you will first need to raise the trailer and check that the wheel and drum rotate freely. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the slot on the bottom of the…

Hey Jared, the brake spoon part #W80630 that you referenced would work fine as a brake adjuster for a 4 inch diameter trailer axle. This would be long enough to reach in and grab the star wheel.

Answer 10

The seals #9103309 and #GS-2250DL have the same inner and outer diameters (2.250" ID and 3.376" OD) but they are used for different applications. Use the seal #9103309 if you have an oil bath setup but you'll want to use the seal…

Answer 11

Trailer spindle and bearing tolerances are pretty tight, usually down to a thousandth of an inch. Use of emery cloth on a spindle to remove scoring damage might remove enough material to affect the fit of the replacement bearing. You can be off the…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
