Question:
Hello, I want to replace a hub AH15450ECOMP with a DX22XR. I know the ID of the seal is different, so I would need the seal for the first part number. I am hoping the DX22XR will fit the spindle for the other hub.

That's a great question, Steven!
Yes, you can totally swap hub # AH15450ECOMP for hub # DX22XR. To make it work, just be sure to use seal # SL150, it has a 1.5" inner diameter and a 2.331" outer diameter, which will fit perfectly with the Dexter hub. Just a quick note: when swapping hubs, it’s best to replace all of them with the same model to keep things consistent.
Out of curiosity, what kind of trailer are you working on?
