Dexter Marine Products 81136 Trailer Wheel Bearing Kit for 1-3/8" x 1-3/8" Spindles
Dexter Marine Products Bearing Protection Systems
When it comes to protecting trailer wheel bearings from the demanding conditions of marine environments, Dexter Marine Products has engineered comprehensive solutions that stand up to water immersion, corrosion, and heavy use. With over 60 million Dexter axles installed on trailers across North America, the brand brings decades of expertise to the critical task of bearing protection and hub assembly maintenance.
Pre-Greased Hub Assembly Kits
Dexter's standout innovation in the bearing protectors, seals, and bearings category is their comprehensive Pre-Greased Hub Replacement Kit line. Dexter's Pre-Greased Hub & Hub-Drum kit includes the seal and greased bearings already installed, E-Z Lube® & standard grease caps, spindle attachment hardware, and lug nuts. This approach eliminates the guesswork and time-consuming assembly process that traditionally accompanies bearing service. These kits help save time and money while providing peace of mind that the correct bearings and seal are being used, addressing a common concern among trailer owners who worry about compatibility and proper installation.
E-Z Lube Technology and Bearing Protection
The E-Z Lube® system represents Dexter's commitment to simplified maintenance without sacrificing protection. This technology allows for easy bearing lubrication without disassembling the hub, particularly valuable for boat trailers that experience frequent water exposure. The product range covers an extensive variety of axle capacities, from lightweight 2.2K axles up through heavy-duty 7K configurations, with precisely matched bearing sets, seals, and protection components for each application. Double-lip seals featured in many Dexter hub assemblies provide enhanced protection against water intrusion and contaminant penetration—critical factors when trailers are regularly submerged at boat launches.
Precision Engineering for Marine Applications
Each kit is built with Dexter Genuine parts, rigorously tested, and backed by Dexter's 5-year warranty, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in their bearing protection systems. Dexter's bearing kits feature precision tapered roller bearings designed specifically for trailer applications, where side loads, temperature fluctuations, and water exposure create demanding operating conditions. The company offers both complete hub assemblies with pre-installed bearings and individual bearing service kits, providing flexibility for different maintenance scenarios and budgets. Whether you're servicing a small utility trailer or a heavy marine transport system, Dexter Marine Products delivers engineered bearing protection solutions that prioritize longevity, ease of maintenance, and reliable performance in challenging environments.
