Most of the 8-259 Dexter hubs use L44649 inner and outer bearings. For that you would need bearing kit #BK1-150. The seal included with this kit has an inner diameter of 1.50 inches. I have linked a video showing an example installation.

Your Dexter 8-259 #8-259-5UC1 will use the Bearing Kit #BK1-150 for each hub. I recommend filling the bearings with the Grease #L11390 when you install them.

The BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643 bearing. In…

Hi Bill, thanks for the photos! The correct replacement idler hub for your 2.2K Torsion-Style Dexter Axle is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly #8-258-5UC1-EZ. I actually shot your photos over to my contact at Dexter Axle to confirm what parts are…

If you look at the outermost part of the spindle on your axle there will be what is called a grease zerk or grease gun fitting. It will look like a tiny round ball which is where you can attach a grease gun to grease your spindle. If your spindle has…

For an idler hub that would work as an exact replacement to what you have and is galvanized to help prevent corrosion the part #84545BX that you referenced would work well. It comes with bearings as well.

Verify your bearing numbers and bolt pattern to be sure but I believe either #8-258-5UC1-EZ for E-Z Lube axles or #8-258-5UC1 for standard axles is what you need. Both of these hubs include bearing #L44649 for the inner and outer. They have a 5 on…

The #BK2-100 Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle L44649/L68149 Bearings 10-19 Double Lip Seal will work. You have EZ Lube spindles which do not use a cotter pin. The spindle has a tube in it for the grease to be pumped in. Instead it uses a tang washer,…

Hey Andrew, Yes, the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles #8-259-5UC1-EZ would be a direct replacement for a Dexter 8-259 trailer hub assembly.

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…

If you cannot locate any type of information on the trailer itself, either on the axle or somewhere on the frame, then measuring the axle diameter can usually give you a good idea as to its capacity. When measuring the axle, you will want to measure…

Based on the pictures you attached and the outer bearing measurement you provided, it appears that you have 1-1/16 inch spindle like the BTR EZ Lube Spindle #TRU44FR. This particular spindle is designed for 2,000 pound axles and will use the same…
