Wheel Bearings and Grease Seal for 2023 Keystone Cougar 23MLE  

Updated 02/26/2025 | Published 02/21/2025

Question:

I have a 2023 Keystone Cougar 23MLE half-ton fifth wheel with Dexter 4400lb. axles. There is no down option for a 23MLE and there is no option for 4400lb. axles, only 3500 and 5000lb. axles. Im searching for wheel bearings, races, seals and caps. Do you not carry those items for the 4400lb.ers? Please advise. Thank you.

Well, Dexter is normally really helpful but in this case not so much. From what they sent back you have a # L68149 inner and outer bearing. I've never heard of that before and really don't believe you have a straight spindle.

Based on the fact that you also have a 10-19 grease seal # RG06-050 I feel like the outer bearing is actually # L44649. This would mean you can use the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and AL-KO Axles - 3,500 lb with #84 Spindle # BK2-100. I hate to say it but I think you should pull a hub off and check for part numbers on the bearings on measure the spindle/inner diameter of the bearings to verify what you have.
