Dexter Axle's 3,500 lb pre-greased hub assembly kit is a ready-to-install, E-Z Lube compatible idler hub that includes bearings, races, seal, caps, bolts and lug nuts for 13–15" wheels on a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

This complete hub assembly is designed to make trailer wheel installations faster and more reliable by arriving pre-packed with grease and fitted for #84 spindles.

It comes with both E-Z Lube and standard grease caps, allowing for easy maintenance whether you use a grease gun or routine bearing checks.

What exactly is included in the Dexter 3,500 lb hub kit?

The package supplies everything needed to mount a wheel to an idler hub without hunting for separate bearings or hardware. Bearings and races are matched to the correct sizes, and the kit includes sealing and mounting parts to complete the job.

• Inner bearing: L68149
• Outer bearing: L44649
• Races, grease seal, grease cap and E-Z Lube cap
• Wheel bolts and lug nuts included for immediate installation

How does the pre-greased, E-Z Lube design save time and maintenance?

Because the bearings come pre-packed with grease, you can skip the laborious bearing packing step during installation—saving time and reducing the risk of improper packing. The E-Z Lube compatible cap allows routine repacking or topping off without disassembly, and a standard cap is provided if you prefer a closed design.

• Pre-loaded grease eliminates initial bearing packing
• E-Z Lube cap provides grease gun access for quick servicing
• Standard grease cap included for seal-only setups
• Reduces maintenance time and potential errors during setup
