Yes, the Safe-T-Lube hubs and axles will generally use the same parts as the Dexter EZ Lube axles. I see that you were looking at the Replacement Spindle Washer # 5-101. This can definitely be used on a Safe-T-Lube axle. If you are needing other parts, we do want to make sure they are appropriately sized for your axle or hubs.

Are there any other parts you are looking to replace? If so, let me know what you need to I am happy to point you in the right direction and confirm fitment.
