An In-Depth Look at the Grease Seal Video

Yes, the bearing kit part #BK3-210 does fit a good portion of the 7,000 lb Dexter axles out there, but some of the 7k Dexter axles require a slightly larger grease seal which instead requires the kit part #BK3-200. What you'll want to do is…

The ALKO 4,400 lb axles use the same bearing sizes as the standard 3,500 lb alxes. If you want USA made bearings, I recommend the Bearing Kit #TMK52VR. This kit comes with the Timken brand bearings which are all made here in the USA.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

For as trashed as those brake assemblies are I am impressed with how spotless that spindle is! Based on the bearing numbers you mentioned you have a #84 spindle and the hub part #AKHD-545-35-G-K is correct. Since this its galvanized it's a really…

Wheel bolt patterns are defined by two numbers: the first being the number of lug nuts and the second being the diameter of the circle the lug nuts are arranged in. So a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern is 5 lugs arranged in a circle that is 4-1/2 inches in…

We offer three grease seals that have a 1.750-inch inner diameter. You can see these by clicking on the link provided. The three seals have outer diameters of 2.312, 2.356 and 2.722-inches. You can use a digital caliper like #PTW80157 to measure your…

I can certainly point you in the right direction. This will be a tricky one, as the Dexter 5,200 lb axles can use more than one seal size. We do not have the ability to pull an OEM build sheets to see what parts they installed at the factory so we…

The bearing kit you are looking for is the part #BK3-310. This includes the bearings and seals you mentioned so it would be exactly what you need.

I was unable to find any reference to a Dico 45264 hub. You will need to take some of the measurements to make sure you get the correct bearings and seals for your trailer. Trailer manufacturers use many different sizes when they build their systems…

I spoke with my contact at Dexter regarding the axle on your trailer. This is a 6,000 pound axle that uses inner bearing #25580 and outer bearing #15123. For a complete bearing kit, you can use #BK3-100. This will include the correct inner and outer…

No, the #14125A bearing has different applications than a #15123 bearing. The outer diameters are different. Both are readily available bearings. If you have a 15123 bearing then you would need that same bearing as a replacement. If you can provide…

Grease seals such as those included with the #DBRKHW35EZ bearing kit should be be installed so that they are flush with the hub bore. If the correct seal is used, everything should fit together perfectly. As long as the castle nut is correctly ran…
