Replacement Spindle Hardware and Seal Swap for Dexter Hub # 8-201-5UC3-EZ  

Updated 10/20/2026 | Published 10/17/2026

Question:

Hello, I have a 2020 Eclipse Attitude 21 SAG LE with 2 Lippert Axles B21-500. EZ Lube Axles. I plan on measuring the ID of the seal to validate I have the 2.25inch seal and that these hubs would work. After inspection of the hubs, if they are in good shape I will just rebuild with bearing kit BK3-300. 1. Can you tell me the standalone part number for the nut/washer that comes in the kit along with the dust cap/rubber plug part number? 2. Second question is it looks like the only difference between 8-201-5UC3-EZ and K08-201-98 the seal is 2.125inch ID compared to 2.25. Why is the pricing so different between the two. $94 more seems pretty steep for the difference of a seal. Seems like I should purchase the 8-201-5UC3-EZ and swap out the seal that comes with the hub 10-10 2.125inch ID/3.376inch OD with the 10-36 2.25ID/3.376inch OD RG06-070 and save $94/hub minus the cost of the seals. Can you confirm if this is an option that would work to save just under $400 for my trailer 4 hubs?

Hey Joel.

To answer your first question, # 6-191 is the nut, # 6-190 is the nut retainer/washer, # 21-42-1 is the dust cap, and # RG04-010 is the rubber plug you're looking for. Your second questions assumption is correct, the only difference between the two is the seal and the pricing could be a whole list of things. If the # 10-36 is the seal you need, then purchasing # 8-201-5UC3-EZ and switching out the seals would work just fine.

Were you able to take the Eclipse out on any trips this year?

Thanks Trent! Much appreciated! Yes. Several trips. Camping season has came to an end so I’m preparing for next years adventures.
