Parts numbers for all Escape trailer bearings and seals

[gbaglo]

Large Inner Bearing – L68149 Race L68111
Small Outer Bearing – L44649 Race L44610
Grease Seal – RG06-050 OR 58846


These are the part #’s I order from my supplier. They should cross reference with most any supplier.

Reace

NOTE: Typo in a number has been corrected as of March 8, 2016.

Glenn, it is now a sticky!! Thanks for the info.

[float5]

These are not exactly the numbers given before. I see two differences on the bearings. Hope you have rechecked those. Thanks.

[cpaharley2008]

Yes, I agree, the one bearing is 44659 vs 44649, not sure which is correct now, can someone verify so we can correct our sticky?

[gbaglo]

I asked because of existing confusion and then I copied and pasted the response I got from Reace.

Don't know what to say.

Those are the part numbers in the parts diagram (page 25 of Dexter Axle's catalog section for 2300-4000 pound capacity axles), which I linked in the recent Wheel Bearing Maintenance discussion (post #157). I can only guess that there was a typo in the differing bearing number from Reace.

Bearing suppliers may still need to use a cross-reference, or use dimensions instead of part numbers, if they are not using the same bearing and seal supplier as Dexter.

Confirmation of Tonny R's post, from Tammy at ETI:

Every parts store has a different number for the brakes and bearings. The information required really is Dexter #10 Torflex Axle. The parts store will then look up their parts number.

Inner L 68149
Outer L 44649

This axle is one of the most common axle sizes.

I have a 2016 21C (older body style). Does anyone know where I can find the correct Dexter EZ Lube part / serial number for my axles? I did find a sticker on the rear axle but its mostly disintegrated. Thanks!

On the axle, unfortunately. Are you asking about the bearings and seals? Kent uploaded this image, I scooped it for future use. I hope it helps you.

Are you asking about the bearings and seals?

Yes, and the brake pads. Thinking about purchasing entire brake assembly after watching this vid:

Sun's going down here now, I'll try taking a closer look at the axles tomorrow.

Thanks.

Install waterproof connectors for electric brake wires...plug and play next time. But, those tires!

Easier just to do the entire assemblies. Then you have all new parts.

For entire Dexter Nev-R-Adjust assemblies these are the ones you want (pair)
(they still need an initial adjustment)

For standard assemblies (pair):

There are also other off-brands that will work like TruRyde and an etrailer house brand. More money but I personally stick with Dexter.

If you want to try your hand at just replacing the shoes these should work. x4 for dual axle

Not for folks that have been doing their own brakes since they were a teenager.

Anyone that can replace the whole assembly can also do brake shoes and bearing servicing.

The only reason that I'd replace the whole assembly would be if I could get one with a parking brake. It'd be a great anti-theft device.

True Ron. Maybe it’s not much easier but I imagine some rusted hardware might cause a headache if just doing the shoes. The standard Dexter assembly I posted are parking brake ready.

Didn't know that. If I didn't have such a secure storage area I'd consider switching just for that feature.

Only instead of a tongue mounted activation lever it'd be in a very out of sight location. Let the thief hook up thinking that it's a trailer with no wheel lock etc. and discover how hard it it to tow a trailer with all 4 wheels locked up and no obvious way to unlock them.

rubicon327: Thanks for all the great part info!

I did crawl under the trailer today and found a serial number for the rear axle after some work with a sanding pad. It's centered on the backside of the axle.

Thanks for all the other comments as well.

I just got back from great trip to the Southwest. I did a rough calculation where it appears I've put about 30K on my 2019 21C. It's about time (or past due...) when I should go ahead pull the tires and inspect the brakes and bearings. I'll probably go ahead and replace the brakes with a Dexter 3,500# Axle NEV-R-Adjust 10" x2-1/4 Electric Brake Kit. Correct me if I'm wrong but this one seems to be a match.

For the bearings, my eyeballs are on these two sets: Outer Bearing. And Inner Bearing.

For Timken 473336 Seals.

Two good sources on this forum was Reace's comments on April 5, 2013 as well as Donna D's on January 1, 2024. Should I go ahead and purchase (4) EZ Lube retainer nut/kits? (K71-622-00)

Thanks in advance.
