Hey Drew, thanks for the part number. For a Dexter 8-259 hub like our item # 8-259-5UC1, you'll need the Bearing Kit item # BK1-150. This kit will replace one hubs inner and outer bearings, races, seal, washer, and cotter pin.
I recommend filling the bearings with the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease item # L11390 when you install them.
What kind of trailer do you have?
