Question:

Considering Timken bearing kit TMK52VR and have a question. My boat trailer axles are Dexter 3500 lb with Sup R Lube hubs. Will this kit work fine even though it indicates EZ lube compatible. Thanks

It sure will Chris and welcome back! The Timken Bearing Kit item # TMK52VR is exactly what you need for your Dexter 3,500 lbs axle. This kit is sold per hub and includes new bearings, races, a seal, a tang washer, and a cotter pin.

Dexter's E-Z Lube and Lippert's Super Lube features are the same thing from different manufacturers. It just means there's a grease zerk fitting at the end of the spindle that lets you inject fresh grease without removing the hub. There's zero compatibility issues using the opposite brands bearing kits or hubs so long as they're the correct size.

Just for some additional reassurance, the Timken Bearing Kit item # TMK52VR has the same size bearings, races, and seal that's included in the Dexter item # DX76ER that's designed for their 3,500 lbs axles.

What kind of boat do you have?
